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 reviewThe location is on Upper China Street which is a quiet side street between Carpenter Street and Jalan Wawasan. Brilliant location to go and explore all of Kuching Old Town, the waterfront and the North bank area. Carpenter Street has many restaurants to cater for all tastes. The kitchen facility at the accommodation is very good and has a fridge freezer, microwave, hot plate, kettle and toasters with all cooking utensils. Self cooking is easily achieved. The room we had was a Queen double and was a very good size with a comfortable bed. Very clean with fresh linen and towels. There wasn't much noise coming from the street which was a blessing and there is a wonderful wall art just outside our window which is amazing. There are 3 floors and each has a shower and toilet which are very clean. The communal seating areas (1 per floor) are a welcome break from staying in the room. The host was very accommodating to our needs and listened to our requests which were fulfilled. We have enjoyed our stay here especially as we can walk out and be in the centre of Old Kuching within 2 minutes. Thoroughly recommended.
There have been some reviews mentioning the thin walls. This I feel is not an issue of the owner but more about how other guests respect each other. If people are going to chat until 2 am or cook after midnight then that is not the fault of the accommodation. There are signs in the reception asking for guests to acknowledge and appreciate quiet periods for other guests. We were disturbed by other guests during these quiet periods but this wasn't too detrimental to our sleep.

Verified reviewLocation is extremely convenient to awesome bars, cafes and restaurants and to Kuching Waterfront. House deco takes you back to 1960/70s vibe. Pretty much self service / check-in/out. Owner/ Manager is super responsive, and easy to deal with via WhatsApp. Let me leave my stuff and take a shower well after I have checked out. Never once saw any staff there, but somehow the place is well kept and clean. I stayed on the ground floor and did not use the upper floors or the kitchen.
There was a two major event happening in the area during my stay. But the noise were coming from the other guest going in/ out or up/ down the wooden staircases to use the ground floor shower/ toilets or marathon or catching their flight. Rooms are not sound proof so it can be very noisy. If you're staying on the ground floor, be aware the sewage smell can be very off putting and apparent in the early morning and sometimes in the evening.
