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 cheap and very good location! Overall okay for a short stay. I mean, you can't argue for this price.
Had to check out earlier than the declared time 😕 as new guests were coming and we had to leave.... The fan's can use a little cleaning, as they produce a weird smell when turned on, it was better to sweat and keep it off than stay in that smell. You can hear everything, and if it's raining.... there's buckets on the corridor collecting rain water through the damaged ceiling.

Verified reviewAn ideal location for those looking to explore Malacca. The host was very welcoming. Though the room was small, it was clean, with comfortable beds and fresh bedsheets.
The facilities and cleanliness of the toilets were extremely poor. Also expect to pay 3 MYR per day as heritage fees.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed that place. The owner was very kind. Room was great and clean.
Just the cleanest of the bathroom could be improved

Verified reviewSpacious bedroom with AC and fan. Bedsheets and towels were clean. The place felt very safe. Great location.
The shared bathroom could be cleaner. The "walls" (plastic panels) are very thin and if other guests switch on their air con or use the fan the whole place shakes and it's very noisy. I used ear plugs every night. I would still recommend the place cause I was very satisfied with my room.

Verified reviewUnfortunately, it is very difficult to find a perfect place in the city center for this money... There are two options: You will pay double the price and stay in a better place. Or, with this money, you will stay in a better place away from the center and take the risk of walking 1-2 km. The second option is more logical for those who do not have any physical disabilities...The owner and staff are excellent, good people. It is possible to have a good dialogue. But this does not improve the physical condition and facilities of the building.
air conditioners are almost as noisy as a train locomotive powered by a steam boiler... A windowless room makes you feel like you are in a morgue. Noise from the corridor and neighboring rooms cannot be prevented. The floor is shaky wood and the room partitions are as poorly insulated as corrugated cardboard.
