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 reviewI booked a room but turned up to be a tent, then I changed to a room on the spot but decided to give up the stay as the room is small, no window and very basic with common bath etc... I switch to another place to stay.
nothing
I'm sorry to hear this from you Sir, but we have only received confirmation for a tent according to the platform (maybe system issue?) and have upgraded to room for you at a cost of only 2 SGD. We always aim to provide an easy place to the people at an affordable price as well as a 70's theme at a strategic location. We'd loved your feedback and will strive to improve it 🤗 ps: we do have a bigger room with windows and would love to invite you to stay over 😁

Verified reviewThank you, Aurum Hotel, for the upgrade! I wanted to experience sleeping in a historic building, and this room is simply beautiful and fragrant. The bed and pillows are incredibly comfy, ensuring I had a restful night before my meeting. The stunning staircase adds charm, though it may not be ideal for those with knee issues. I absolutely love the gorgeous shower room, especially the raw cement finish! No need for slippers here; the organic feel and cleanliness are so refreshing for my feet. The antique wood thingy that have shower gel and shampoo dispensers are a delightful touch, and the "kuali" sink is a brilliant mix of tradition! The interior and furniture are gorgeous. I like it so much even the old design floor at the front hall. Overall, I can't wait to return! Please keep this place clean for future guests. It's perfectly located in Alor Setar, close to cafes and tourist sites.
Just a suggestion: I hope Aurum can offer bananas, fruits, and juices for a quick breakfast option for guests like me who don’t eat bread, coffee, or tea. Thank you for providing the refreshments! 😊

Verified reviewLocation ,
The room door need to change to new door easy to open and lock. Like code. So no need the key. Also the safe deposit box they didn't write deposit box or box that have a key they should put note or sign above to box. So ppl know what is that box for. Those big cupboard can remove it's look eerie. Too old .
hello dear Zaliha :) Thank you for your feedback we will take note and make improvements to serve you better in future! Regarding the two safes, they are valuable assets that have witnessed our building from the goldsmith shop then, a motel now, and will continue to be there to tell the stories of this era ;)

Verified reviewThis 'motel' is great! It's self check-in, but easy, and the staff was readily available in case of any doubt. It's very modern and well designed, super clean, quiet, spacious and comfortable. Also, I got a free upgrade, so no complaints at all 😁. The location is perfect as well, right at the city centre with lots of places to eat and drink.
Nothing at all :)
