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 reviewLocation was superb, right at the center of the city. Very close to Tunjungan Plaza Mall, which is the biggest mall in Surabaya. Lots of activities around the hotel. Many restos and cafes in the surrounding area. Many options to go around the city center area, even in walking distance. The hotel architect and signature vintage style is a big win. Food and beverages in the hotel resto is affordable.
The window view was blocked by neighboring building, but i guess given the location is inevitable. The AC unit seems a bit out-of-date, but still working properly.

Verified reviewLocation. There are lots resto and also mall in walking distance. Wifi is good. You get everything hotel standard in the room
Tunjungan street can be very super because everything in walking distance. But also can be very worst if you stay there on Nov 10 or the local government held an event. This street will be close for cars and public transport. The hotel staff is also can’t explain clearly about how to get there to us who are not familiar with Surabaya

Verified reviewLocation and friendly and helpful staffs.
Very dark ambience. It's meant to be a heritage kind of style but failed terribly in lighting and cleanness, makes the hotel look depressing. And for the room: dirty floor, stained chair, dirty wall with old coffee/tea drips, dirty curtain. The bathroom has a good size but the sink was leaking. Towels were raged and stained. AC was hot. The lighting in the room is dimmed and limited. One of the bedside lamp had no adapter and let it like for God knows how long. I asked an adapter and the staff was helpful to get one. But when finally the lamp work, I could see the table where the lamp on top was so dusty. The bed-head board was dusty as well. One of the bed leg was broken so the bad corner was sunk. The technician fixed the bed but when left the room with with debris from the repair work. On top the floor in general was very dirty with soil, blackened foot prints, hairs, under bed dust... I had to call a cleaner, he came with only a broom. I had to asked him to bring a mop as well because the floor was obviously dirty. It could be a good place to stay with much improved maintenance. The staffs were friendly, helpful, and worked hard. With this good human resources, a better management and organization, I am sure this hotel could be a good place to stay.
