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 reviewVery nice and new rooms with comfortable beds and a clean and modern bathroom. Nice lake view from the room and a large balcony. Some okay local restaurants 5 minute-drive away.
The area looks like a construction site and appears to still be under development. We did not have electricity in the morning since the whole town lost power.

Verified reviewAmazing view on the lake from the apartment. Apartment itself is very modern and comfortable. The host is super friendly and helpful, she tried her best to make our stay unforgettable.
The area nearby is just developing. The road to the lake crosses a highway.

Verified reviewGood view of the lake from the balcony. Well behaved of the host (Altynai and Syimyk). Breakfast was good. They cooked for us vegetarian dish on our request.
Toilet was very smelly. Even after opening the ventilator also the bad smell was there. Size of the bathroom also very small. No side table lamp. Toiletries was not new. It seems they do not remove the used toiletries and keep for the next guest.

Verified reviewSuch a nice hotel, our room had a big balcony facing Issyk Kul. Waking up and seeing the beautiful views of the lake in front of us was so special. The staff was very kind, we booked last minute and arrived late in the evening and we received a warm welcome and got served food. The cook Gulia made delicious dinner. Loved her eggplant salad and mantis. The hotel administrator was also very nice to give us a room with such nice views. The bed was very comfortable, a nice shower and we even had bathrobes. Really happy for our stay after a long hike :)

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and accommodating (flexible, free laundry service, helpful in any way). The rooms were tidy and modern. The food was very good. The sea side view itself was great. This will be a very nice guest house in the future (when the construction work is done).
The surroundings of the guesthouse are still under construction. There was no bath in the bathroom (as listed in the room's description). No wifi. Constant power outages for up to two hours. Leaking windows during thunderstorms. The location of the guesthouse is far from any necessary amenities (shops, ATMs, etc.).
