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...).

Claustrophobic - small room with tiny, high window with no view other than roof tiles and sky (while looking up - window ledge was above my line of vision). Hard to believe this was a 'superior' room. No bedside table on one side. Mattress rather too firm.
Good location close to bus route to the city centre (service 33). Clean linen and towels. Good water pressure.

Toothbrushes provided are not in good quality. Appreciate if they provide water bottles more. We don't like to refill water from the bathroom area. Or they could have water purifier at hotel to refill the bottles. Prefer if they have washroom facilities in the lobby area.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel 81 Sakura during our visit to Singapore in December. We booked two rooms, and both were comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with thoughtful amenities like a mini fridge, hair dryer, and even a bath tub, which added a touch of relaxation to our trip. The hotel is very reasonably priced, making it an excellent choice for families or travelers on a budget. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring we felt at home throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality truly stood out and made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Hotel 81 Sakura is a fantastic option for those looking for a cozy, affordable, and conveniently located place to stay in Singapore. We wouldn’t hesitate to return on our next visit and highly recommend it to other travelers. Keep up the great work!

The room is quite compact. Our room could do with a little bit of TLC.
Works very well as a short stop for airport transits - just a short drive from the airport in a taxi.

There is need to continuously improve on the outlook of the Hotel. The hotel does not look attractive from the outside.
The location is good since it is convenient and close to Fair Price Mall. Also it is a walking distance to Paya Leba Mall which has most of the goods that may be needed by visitors. l liked the that the hotel is nearer to beaure de-change and food courts making it easy to access money and meals.
