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 reviewA very well designed boutique hotel, one of the best in terms of details of design and build. This is how every repurposed old building should be done.
Breakfast could be better.

Verified reviewBeautiful building. Excellent service. Amazing pool with an interesting view of the city. A peaceful hideaway in the middle of busy Chinatown. Lovely restaurant up top. Central location = easy to walk to restaurants and tourist attractions.
More access to complimentary drinking water in the rooms as you can't refill your water from the tap. Apart from that, perfect stay.

Verified reviewExceptional staff and service. Some of the best in the world. Particularly impressed with Vanessa at Yellow Fin Horse restaurant. The aesthetic is gorgeous, the pool, restaurant, fitness center, and rooftop bar were great. Liked the library also. Loved the location in historic Chinatown. The location was safe also. Everything was unique was fab. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in in the world.
Maybe the hotel can do a better job of explaining the unique history of the building along with some of the artifacts on display that are from the original building. We learnt about it from our tour guide. I loved the location. And this was the big reason why we chose the hotel. But some people might be turned off by the reality of being in the middle of historic Chinatown with the city bustle and street life.

Verified reviewStaff. Amazing service. Best in the world amongst the top hotels I’ve encountered. Every single staff member went above and beyond. Food was FAB. Location was great for us in historic Chinatown that is not yet gentrified fully. The aesthetic of the place was just great. Close to the train station which we used. I liked everything.
I liked the location and it was a big reason for me to choose Else. But some people might want to be in the more modern and swanky locations with the malls and the city center. Else is close to there but still in the historic part.
