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.).

United KingdomNothing comes to mind. It was excellent.
No breakfast. Chosen in part as incl restaurant, but actually ate out, as so much choice. Cocktail bar was lovely , with live music, of a little pricey for a glass of wine. The Kampong Glam area was very beautiful, with excellent info plaques & walking trails re history & culture. The nearby mosque is amazing. The Sultan is perfectly placed within this authentic area of interest and incredible food and shopping choices, with easy & safe access to Little India, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands etc- there are several MRT stations in easy walking distance to access most attractions and the incredible Singapore Changi airport is only 20 mins Grab (Singapore’s Uber) distant. There are stopping spaces outside the hotel for put down/ collection, as well as a bus stop just outside. I would recommend The Sultan most highly to visitors, both solo, as I was this time, or as a couple/ family, with its range of rooms.

The location is very close to plenty of cafes and bars. It is also only a 20 minute walk to Little India. The room was decent size; however, we did pay for the upgrade.

DenmarkThe rooms were right next to the street so we could hardly open the curtain because people kept looking into our room. Some of the gates didn’t open with our cards which I thought were broken (other doors open automatically when you swipe your card). Only on the last night when I saw a cleaning lady using the door and asked, who told me that you need to push the doors open after swiping the card. I wish the front desk could inform us with basic information like this because we had to go through a detour for the first five days.
Good location. The staff are nice and friendly. There’s a coffee machine in the room which was nice.
