Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Although we had booked a private room, they attempted to come into the room unannounced multiple times. They never knocked and just used their key. When questioned on this, they only said that they were working there and wanted to get the bin. However, they still should have knocked instead of just barging in. Also, it's quite loud due to a lot of younger backpackers staying and socialising, although they have to be quiet from 11pm onwards.
We had a private room which was spacious, had a small balcony and a small private bathroom. There was a hairdryer and some lockers, however, no desk or chair. There was a good amount of shared spaces which were reasonably clean. Location is great and close to everything you need.

Mattresses were a lot like sleeping on a concrete slab. But at least I know they were regularly checked for bedbugs and sprayed with disinfectant, so at least they were clean concrete slabs.
Really friendly knowledgeable staff. A comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day.

Mixed shower/toilet in our room meant everything in there was usually wet. Shower also wouldn't turn hot (other travellers rooms were fine though). Not big problems for someone travelling at hostels.
Easily the most social hostel I've been to in Malaysia. Great organisation from the hostel staff to arrange trips into town, arranging hikes, and arranging tours. Lots of staff, great English, you can get food, drink and washing done on site. Great common room facilities. Bunks had lights, curtains and USB charging ports. Good sized bag lockers.

If they could provide chairs in the room and curtains for the balcony it would be great. The whole environment and the stay there is great. And it is a great place to meet new friends 😉

There was quite a few old items under the bunk beds in the private room and it smelt a bit, think they need to clean under and at the side of the beds. The street is quite noisy and there are pigeons in the roof which make noises too.
The hostel had a kitchen with free tea and water, good facilities like a small place to watch TV and do some weights. Good location and staff are very helpful.
