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):
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.
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.).

JapanThe toilet seat is low(lt’s not that serious) I got use to it, its just funny.
Each facility has enough space. 8showers (maybe more),6toilets.and more than 10 washing basin.So I never waited to use toilet and never worried about how much I taking shower. Dorm room and common space are also wide. I didn't have to worry about my stuff getting scattered around. Staff are so helpful. They gave me a very useful map,those are mostly walking distance and located old town. So this hostel’s location is perfect.I enjoyed city walk with this map! I want to recommend this hostel those who want to visit Ipoh with affordable price.

United KingdomOnly issue was the noise due to the mosque very early in the morning; this isn't the hostel's fault though and they do give you some earplugs.
This is a really good hostel, one of the best I've stayed at in Malaysia. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very good facilities, separate women and mens bathrooms, with plenty of showers which is great. Good location within walking distance of the main attractions in Ipoh.

MalaysiaA bit noisy at night, some motorbikes pass by the road beside the hotel, but they provide earplugs.
Got plates and forks that are free to use, free to use their umbrella, like their celebrity poster on the wall, they share Ipoh famous places to go and eat, it is very helpful and enjoyable. 🥰

I had a really nice stay during my time in Ipoh. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are really good. Lots of showers and toilets, never had to wait and given a towel when you arrive. I extended another night as very comfortable.

Hostel is located a stones throw from Ipoh Railway station. There are many eating options nearby in the day time. Asif is extremely warm and welcoming. The Hostel has an extremely large common area and the dormitory, bathroom and toilets are very clean. The prices during the period of my stay is great. Should I be in Ipoh again, this hostel will certainly be on the top of my list.

This is my 2nd time making a reservation here. I'm a Digital Nomad, and officially I'm declaring this accommodation as my top favorite in Ipoh. I may consider it as my co-working space in future. I notice no declining in the service quality and standard since my last visit. Highly recommended for local or overseas solo travellers.

PolandRoom was quite dark. Beds were not very comfy
When we were there the hostel was almost completely empty so we had a big dormitory just for ourselves. The place is quite big, it is suited to accommodate a lot of people. Bathrooms are really spacious, there are a lot of sinks and showers so you definitely won't have to wait for your turn. Showers were also very comfortable with hot water and good pressure. Room itself was ok, although quite dark. There are big lockers inside the room to keep your valuables safe.
