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.).

AustraliaLittle exterior ventilation in the rooms. No cooking facilities but plenty of options to eat out nearby.
Sam is a relaxed, considerate host. All rooms have aircon. The beds are comfortable. Location in the heart of the old town is excellent. Close to Jonker Street night market. The hostel is clean and well maintained. Security is good.

A beautifully designed, very chill place. Comfy beds and quiet spaces (I got two very good nights of rest); thoughtfully designed and placed outlets, light switches, appliances…it’s those little things that can make a traveler’s day! Clean bathroom and clean, visually attractive common spaces, a friendly and communicative owner. Last but not least, a great location. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you!

United StatesRooms are a bit tight, smaller common area. Very small fridge for drinks only, no food allowed. Free filtered water has chlorine smell.
Excellent location a few steps from Jonkers Walk. Very clean everywhere. Sam the owner is kind, friendly and helpful. Good quality linen, pillows and towels. Sufficient and roomy toilet/showers (4) and sinks (6). Nicely decorated with eclectic items from the past - even the doors and handles are unique pieces. Lots of books to read/trade. Donation box for unneeded items a future traveler may need.

The hostel was very clean and the single room small but very nicely done and practical with a desk, fresh towel and toiletries waiting for you.The host is very attentive, the towels were changed fresh every day. I also stayed one night in the dorm and it was also clean, comfortable beds with curtains and you get a locker. The location is very good, next to the Jonker’s walk. My best accommodation so far on this trip and now in Kuala Lumpur in a hotel that is nothing like it so appreciate a lot!

IndiaIndicator or sign board can be better to show guests the place it becomes a bit confusing for the 1st time.
One of the most cutest efficient hostels here in meleka. The beds and AC is perfect and fans. Nice showers. The owner sam is always around soft spoken and wonderfully efficient. The location is spot on and just parallel to the jonker street very close from everything. While going back to sentral bus just take a cab or taxi buses are a bit unreliable.

NetherlandsChanging the shampoo/shower gel bottles with dispensers would be more sustainable but other than that, the place is perfect.
This place is amazing! I was warmly welcomed by Sam, the manager who explained everything to me and showed me around. The place is small but really cozy. The mixed dorm with 4 beds was not very spacious but there were lockers for the most important items. The beds are very spacious and comfortable. Towel, blanket, shampoo, shower gel and water are offered to all guests. Maybe introducing shampoo/soap dispensers in the bathrooms would be more sustainable. The bathrooms are always clean. The common area is cozy and there is always soft and pleasant music. The location is perfect: just a few minutes from the canal where there are many restaurants. Less than 5 minutes walk to Joker street and about 10 minutes to Stadthuys. Many temples, mosques, cafes and restaurants around. Simply a perfect place!

MalaysiaNo for now.
This hostel is the style I like! I review based on my experience. Sam is great to help with check in. The room is clean and didn’t smell, the bed is comfortable and provides 2 pillows, soft and firm to choose between. The toilet is clean and the hydraulic power is just right. Public area is great with plants and some antique collection including the beautiful bike! The sound insulation of the room i stayed is great coz theres Indian ceremony in the earlier morning and my room didn’t hear anything and the common area hear everything. It’s a pleasant stay that i feel great to come back again if i travel Melaka again.

MalaysiaThe keycard is only one, it need to put in the card slot for the room to have electricity so every time when I need to just go to toilet, I also need to take the card, then no electricity in my room. I think maybe we can get the room password also? So no need to take out the card when we just want to go out for a while.
The host is friendly, will explain to you patiently. The room is clean, I think it is just right for a solo traveller, no need to much space. All the other travellers are so chill, they will talking at the common area. The bathroom is quite large and so clean. The location is so good, it's just beside jonker street.
