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.).

The room had a shower but no hot water, so I used the shared shower facilities close by. Maybe bad timing during building renovations on the ground floor. Disturbed sleeping patterns because of a surging water pump constantly on and off all day and night.
Great location on the edge of Chinatown and Jonker walk, easy walking to many places and temples, with great grab services. Also a friendly manager was helpful with good advice.

It's a new building and it has a kit of potential as long as they manage to improve some aspects. First, they give you coffee and tea but there's no kettle either in the room nor the common area, which is non existent. There's no minibar either so it's hard to keep cold water with the heat. The toilets are clean enough but I think that's because there wasn't anyone else on the second floor. However, you can tell they don't clean it often because no one replaced the toilet paper when it was over. If you text the manager, they would supply with some but excellence is in the details, I think. Also, be careful if you search for the address on Google maps because this new building does not appear on it.
The location Is excellent, near the main street and with lots of options to eat. The Aircon worked perfectly. The bathrooms were clean enough. The man from the reception was nice and friendly.

This hotel is located in a very hidden spot. Although the building itself is quite prominent, we passed by several times without realizing it was the hotel because there was no sign with the hotel's name on the building. We had to contact the hotel, but when we called, the person who answered said it was not their branch and gave us another phone number. The first number we called was not answered, and then we were given yet another number. It took us a long time to finally confirm the hotel's location. We finally arrived at the hotel around 2:45 PM. Although there was a sign at the front desk stating that it opened at 1:30 PM, there was no staff present. Since check-in was at 3 PM, we decided to wait. Later, we saw three staff members walking around, but they kept telling us to wait. One of them briefly looked at printed booking at the front desk, then walked away slowly without explaining anything. We had to stand there for half an hour, and check-in was delayed until around 3:17 PM. When we got to our floor, we saw that a nearby bathroom had a burst pipe. In our room, the tap water initially came out yellow but cleared up after a while. Although the bedsheets had some stains, at least the bathroom was clean. However, the shared bathroom and toilet outside were quite dirty. The location is great, close to Jonker Street. There is also a parking lot in front of the hotel. However, since we couldn't find the hotel and couldn't reach the staff, we ended up parking farther away.

Is the hotel safe without a fire extinguisher? Is it safe for anyone to enter the password lock outside? The child slept all night and was bitten by two insects. Last night, I sat by the bed and was bitten by insects. Does the new hotel have a bug bed?
