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...).

The service staff in the restaurant, though we'll intentionally, require refresher training in customer service. The oriental decor and general setup.of the resturant was great . The food was good too
It's tastefully furnished , well decorated, and beautifully curated . The front desk staff were exceptional, polite, and courteous.

One staff member who worked in reception has no idea of politeness, service and basically everything you need to be to be a receptionist. Her phone permanently in hand, the words please and thank you will never be heard. Just barked instructions whilst looking at phone. Property was quite noisy with generator plus people slamming doors at all hours.
Clean property with comfortable bed. WiFi was good but on a free voucher system which can be slow. Shower was warm and did the job. Food in attached restaurant, Shogun, was amazing.

Breakfast options could be clearer. The first time I went for breakfast, I was told it was buffet style but was left to guess what was available and had to ask before I was told I could make requests to the kitchen as well.
The room was clean and comfortable. The free WiFi was a great addition. I loved the restaurant in front, the food was great.

The last time there were no towels in the room but this time, I was happy to see that they took my feedback and there were towels. There's still no kettle to make tea which is a disappointment because there are tea items in the room. The breakfast is too basic and more variety should be provided.
Location is excellent and rooms are decent and clean.

The breakfast was good but can be improved on by bringing more options. The location was perfect for me as I could navigate easily around town.

The fact that i was not allowed to extend my stay except i pay their direct ridiculous rates. I was promptly kicked out of the hotel. Even while i was in the shower preparing to leave, they kept calling to remind me that i needed to leave the room. I left soon afterwards. I will not be returning to the hotel ever.
The ambience was good and the location was central. Close to my meeting venues.

The bathroom could need some maintenance and I do not understand that there is no kettle in the room but coffee and tea? Breakfast was a bit slow - and why does it has to be swept when it's breakfast time, so it is difficult to enter the room?
Location: The location is great, next to a great Asian restaurant. Mambaah Café is not far either. Wifi: Wifi is ok, no complaints. Staff is friendly. Price is great.
