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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

It was a nice little hostel for backpackers. I stayed in multiple rooms during traveling back and forth. The women in charge is super lovely and very helpful. For the very low price everything was nearly perfect.

Singapore- the room wall is thick so I can hear people talking; better to prepare earplugs if you are a light sleeper
- The location is great. 10 mins walk to the waterfront; 10 mins walk to another side's medium-sized mall; several restaurants nearby - haven't tried it but there is some simple free breakfast (toast and butter) - there is a hair dryer that can be borrowed

CanadaThe bathroom situation isn’t ideal if there are lots of guests. There is maybe two toilets and three working showers in the entire building. It’s self-check in and cash only upon arrival- but it’s next to impossible to find an employee to pay. Almost checked out before someone finally showed up to reception to take payment.
Really affordable and everything appears clean!

ChinaIt seems has only one bathroom upstairs and one bathroom downstairs. and the kitchen and bathrooms could be cleaned more often, I hope.
Nurul was really helpful and patiently answered all my questions. The whole vibe of the hostel is authentic, very helpful and budget friendly for backpackers. And the people are friendly. It provides lots of useful information on the front desk, for example where to visit, how to book. And the location is very central, you can get everything you need by walking distance. I end up staying there for 7 days straight.

AustraliaIt's about a 10min walk to the waterfront and Jalan Carpenter kopitiams. The hawker centre/night market near the Electra building is about a 15 min walk.
Very secure. Dorms have a key and the main entrance to the property has a keypad lock. Bella will communicate by WhatsApp and leave instructions for check in. There is a kitchenette with free coffee and tea. AC is strong and the dorms are clean. There are small individual lockers for valuables but the beds don't have individual lights or power sockets. Bella can easily be reached by WhatsApp and is very helpful. There is excellent info available about tours and practical info about how to get around.

United KingdomDownstairs rooms have thin walls so could hear everyone moving about/talking at 7am outside my room (which woke me up) which was not great as I was so tired. Maybe if people can be told to be quiet in reception area/downstairs areas in the morning as people may still be trying to sleep.
Great location, staff and value for money. Great way to meet people too. Overall, would definitely stay again.

Walkable to main sites and shops/restaurants by the riverside, has a 7-E right across the street and highly recommend Think & Tink nearby for coffee and local/cultural events
