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 reviewWe loved the warm and friendly welcome – the staff provided excellent tips about the area and helped us arrange an unforgettable tour. The dinner at the hotel was absolutely wonderful, both in flavor and atmosphere. Their hospitality truly made the stay special.
The room, although comfortable, felt a bit dated and the air conditioning could work more efficiently.

Verified reviewThe reception staff were outstanding. They arranged a cooking class and a martial arts class for us as well as booking transport when needed. The rooms were large and clean with reliable A/C and good showers. The beds are a little on the hard side but the rooms were great and had a little area for making tea, which was a lovely touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewSuper location next to the river but out of the circus that is Yangshuo centre which is a few minutes walk away. You can walk here in 10-15 mins from the boat. Very friendly and homely feel, traditional build with it's own (very popular) restaurant. Staff very switched on and went out of their way to make sure I had a good stay. Large room and loved the balcony and would recommend the calligraphy class and Liu Sanjie.
The smell from the kitchen/restaurant permeates the public areas and is somewhere between dishwater and cabbage (though the room was fine with the doors shut). You can hear the restaurant calling out diners numbers in an automated voice all through dinner rime. Doesn't go on late but is intrusive when you want to relax in the room.

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly helpful. They spoke great English which allowed us to book tours with ease. The room was very spacious and has everything we needed. The location was perfect along the river and very close to West Street with lots of food and shops.
The property was as close to perfect as it gets. The only thing we didn’t love was having to walk through the restaurant to get to our room.

Verified reviewThe hotel is an easy walk from the ferry terminal for cruise boats from Guling. Like many hotels in China, the hotel reception is virtually surrounded by restaurants. In this case a restaurant in high demand. Apart from this, the hotel has character and well looked after. After booking in, we noticed there were no lifts, we are both elderly and didn't mind the struggle upstairs We never had to worry, the staff carried our cases. The room was adequate with a small balcony overlooking the tree lined river and later found the main tourist area was just around the corner. This also proved a extra point to hire a electric bike and explore all attractions.
First the number of stairs but this was good exercise, secondly the bidet wasn't working except for the automatic flush and when you concentration was over, the back of your head was resting on the toilet paper. Trust me not an easy task to tear a sheet off.

Verified reviewThe hotel staff all can speak English and are very helpful and friendly. Moley & Siau Yang gave great advice: where to visit and what is unique for our enjoyment. They helped us book tickets for the amazing light show, bamboo rafting, cormorant fishing show and minivan to transport the 6 of us. The restaurant beneath the hotel serves very good food, our rooms were well sound proofed and smell-proof despite being above a busy restaurant. Have good view of the river from our balcony. Places to eat and shops are all very nearby with lively atmosphere. Walking distance from the pier after our river cruise from Guilin. Their staff were very accommodating as my husband had heart health issues (gave us 2 extra pillows for his comfort) and when he got a cold during our stay there, they got the restaurant to cook him a bowl of yummy rice mince pork & vegetable porridge plus sent it to him in the room.

Verified reviewLocation and building are amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They told us the hotel has been built inside a very ancient house, which is why it doesn't have a lift. Keep this in mind if you travel heavy. The interior design was lovely, especially the tea table by the window. It's also walk distance from the pier if u took the cruise from Guilin. And very near the town center. So super convenient location.
Nothing.
