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.).

Taxis to hail frequently drive by, but Uber works fine. Links to airport express train (separate ticket required). Loads of restaurants, shops, etc. all close. Would thoroughly recommend.

The only downside is the room decor and furniture were out dated. The paint on the wall is chipped and the bed is old.

Verified reviewSpacious for Hong Kong standards, very well connected, friendly and helpful staff, always very clean, free coffee available (difficult to find in the area), nice common area to rest, good high views, very well located accomodation with everything around (shops, restaurants, night market, temple, banks), near MTR metro and a handful of buses. We stayed as a family of 4 with 1 toddler and 1 elderly and it was easy. The well equipped kitchenette in the room made it really handful. The beds were very comfortable (international standards, not the old Chinese style if you understood), and large enough to sleep with our toddler, just exactly tight. We had everything we needed, it was a fantastic 12 days' stay. We really liked this "homey" residence. Back to HK to visit friends and relatives, it was a very good option.
It's not an issue for us, but the furniture (especially wooden cabinets and kitchen) is a bit old, we understand that Hong Kong humidity doesn't help. They have a cargo lift for the 1st floor until reception, it works slow and needs some understanding to operate, so we were taking the few steps of stairs up and down (elderly was actually OK so far, doing it slow, needed to be careful because it may be slippery some times especially after raining, it is a narrow staircase with a bit of turn, made of white stones maybe marble. Toddler always running needed to be careful). Anyways, if needed, the cargo elevator was always available, so it's actually not an issue!

Verified reviewHomy Residence @ Hong Kong – Room 4B (5D4N Stay) Conveniently located within walking distance to Yau Ma Tei MTR Exit C, near Nathan Road. Few convenience shops nearby like 7-Eleven, Circle K and Mannings. The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom well-maintained, and daily cleaning was provided. While the building exterior looks run-down, the interior is comfortable and matches the photos shown online. There is a lift provided, and the free Wi-Fi connection was stable throughout our stay. There was no daily bottled water supply, so we bought water from the convenience store next door. We always bring our own disposable towels, so we have no comment on towel quality. We were two female travelers, and each had our own bed—considering the price paid, it offered great value for money. The area is literally quieter and less touristy compared to more crowded districts like Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui or Central. Most nearby shops of this building are local stores selling local kitchenware, giving it a more authentic neighborhood feel. I also suggest staying in this area as the roads are flat and easy to navigate, unlike Central, which has many staircases and uneven streets. Highly recommended food hunt: Try the coconut chicken soup along Nathan Road, and don’t miss the best polo bun at Kam Wah Café (C&C Shop). Overall a solid choice for a clean, comfortable, and convenient city stay.
I recommend keeping the toilet lid closed at all times, especially each flushing, as there was an unpleasant smell came from the toilet bowl — this issue was resolved by keeping the lid closed. The air-conditioning wasn’t very strong, but it was manageable during early May.
