How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIts decor gives you a sense of peacefulness. On the day of arrival, the accommodation will pre-arrange free transfer from airport/train station. Room is comfortable and clean. Host is friendly and helpful. Location away from the hustle and bustle which is good if you wanna a relaxing stay.
Cannot get used to the see-through toilet and bathroom!

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It's clean, spacious and has a nice heritage interior. The owner, Sam and the staff were absolutely lovely. They are so warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. They went out of their way to accommodate all our requests, which made us feel really well taken care of. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast—the rice noodle soup was delicious and comforting, a perfect start to the cool day. Too bad our room doesn't face the sea due to the 3-pax room, but hopefully we will visit the next round and take the seaview room. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay with great service and a personal touch!

Verified reviewI had an amazing experience at this guesthouse. The owner is incredibly friendly and accommodating, this is by far the best place I've ever stayed. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful sea view made the experience even better. We originally booked the family suite, but since the toilet and shower had a glass window, it was a bit inconvenient as we were a couple staying with a parent. The owner kindly gave us an additional sea view room for our mom at a deep discount, which was so thoughtful. The hospitality was beyond what we expected. We mentioned that we weren’t used to having noodles for breakfast, and the next morning, the owner surprised us with rose biscuits and eggs, which was perfect! If you’re considering this guesthouse, book it! You won’t regret it. I’ll definitely stay here again if I return to Dali.

Verified reviewThis private hotel is decorated in ancient Daoist style, very unique, clean, nice with lots of plants, but also modern. We get fresh fruits and freshly made warm breakfast in local taste also with good nutrition balance. We enjoyed stay very much.
Location has beautiful Seaview scenery, only a bit far from old town

Verified reviewOur stay at this hotel in Dali was nothing short of extraordinary. The location is unbeatable, offering the best of what Dali has to offer. The facilities are top-notch, and the room views are absolutely breathtaking—truly a sight to behold. The rooms themselves are immaculate, showcasing a level of attention to detail that is rare to find. However, the true highlight of our stay was the owner. His presence brought an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility to our trip, transforming our family vacation into an unforgettable experience. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Words cannot fully capture the impact he had on us. To understand, you simply need to meet him yourself—your life will be enriched for the better. He is a person who embodies love, peace, and utmost professionalism. I’ve promised to return next September and April, as this place will be our family's sanctuary to rejuvenate and find harmony. We recommend this hotel 100%. Our experience in Dali would not have been the same without the owner and his incredible establishment.

Verified reviewWe really like the designs of the room and the hotel. One room has balcony for tea drinking. Another family room is super spacious with 1 king bed and 1 queen bed. Another room has jacuzzi. All the rooms are designed in chinese art characteristics and super clean. I personally rate 12 out of 10, exceptionally very good. The breakfast is good. There is a good restaurant beside the hotel. We really recommend the hotel to anybody who would like to stay here
Please add coverage to the bathroom glass door because it is very inconvenient for adults

Verified reviewOur host was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us plan our itinerary. Very accommodating and calm. The atmosphere was peaceful and we had an amazing time. I wished we stayed longer because it was truly a spectacular and zen experience. The tea that our host brews is also tasteful! I don't think we can replicate that taste even with the same leaves.
No privacy in the bathroom
