Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The mall facility is inadequate, entirely too small considering the number of guests if all booked. There are department stores there.

United KingdomThe size of the room is disappointing. The size of the accommodation is good for 2 people only. We are 3 adults and 1 child. The sofa bed is not comfortable and small for an adult to sleep. An extra mattress is provided to be placed on the floor. I smell the toilet mat smell of urine as soon as I entered the toilet. The 1 bedroom is comfortable only for 2 people. It is a disappointing experienced. We noticed there was a cockroach in the toilet during the first few hours of our stay. I choose and booked this accommodation base on reading the good and excellent reviews. But it was not as I expected. The staff are nice and polite.
The location was good , near to the malls and other restaurant.

AustraliaIt was very small, it was smelly and had to asked the lady to get air freshener. When we used the washing machine it flooded the bathroom. Beds were not comfortable and the sofa bed needs to be change. To use the pool you have to pay for it. Please don't advertise swimming if you need to be paying for it. Also only 2 people are able to use pool at a time. It's very hard to communicate with staff when there's none.
It was above the shop and across from the train station.

Canadaelevators took forever, stove didn’t work, pool had to be paid for on top of room and only two out of three of us could use it as there is a two per room limit, can’t get pool passes on the weekends as administration is gone on weekends so only if you prebook, could not get the air conditioning to go off without shutting it off(temp regulation didn’t work), TV was a hassle to use( very limited channels).
