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 reviewThey followed my request for a specific view - and even though this took some time (including a late check-in) they did well in a professional manner.
The entrance was confusing - no one came up to us to show us the direction of the lobby in spite of many staff waiting around. Normally you would be immediately supporter the moment you walked in. Small thing - but it was a first impression.
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay at J Hotel Shanghai Tower. It’s wonderful to know that our team professionally fulfilled your request for a specific view, even with the late check - in—this reflects our commitment to personalized service, and we’re thrilled it left a positive mark.

Thank you again for your honesty and we sincerely hope to welcome you back soon to showcase our enhanced hospitality.

Verified reviewThe J Hotel Shanghai Tower delivers a truly elevated experience, both literally and figuratively. My upgraded Stateroom was a showcase of refined modern luxury, with a glossy dark floor, cream and gold accents, a superbly comfortable bed, and an elegant bathroom featuring a marble-bench rain shower and sculptural bathtub. Every detail was thoughtfully considered – from the Nespresso machine and premium minibar to whisper-quiet climate control and fully electronic curtains and lighting. The views over the Huangpu River and Shanghai’s skyline, especially by day, were simply breathtaking. Breakfast was outstanding, combining a refined buffet with à la carte options, fresh berries, multiple nut varieties, unsweetened yoghurt, and exceptional service. Staff throughout the stay were attentive without intrusion, anticipating needs before they were voiced. The bar offered spectacular river views, superb cocktails, and a refined atmosphere once the live music began. A takeaway breakfast box prepared for my early departure was beautifully presented and freshly made – a wonderful gesture.
On the ground floor outside the building, there was no one present to welcome me or assist with luggage – an unexpected gap in service for a hotel of this level. In the rooms, the building’s double façade creates a gap between the windows and the outer glass wall, making the view slightly less immediate than marketing images suggest; at night, the tinted outer glass significantly darkens the outlook. At the bar, there were no vegetarian snacks available on the menu apart from the complimentary nuts and grissini, which felt like a serious oversight for a hotel of this standard. Background music before the live performance in the bar was oddly mismatched, creating a sleepy atmosphere. The spa was closed for maintenance during my stay.
Thank you for staying with J Hotel Shanghai Tower and sharing your detailed experience. We are delighted that you relished the refined modern luxury of your upgraded Stateroom, the breathtaking vistas, the outstanding breakfast, and the attentive service from our staff. However, we sincerely apologize for the shortcomings you encountered, and regarding the spa, we would like to inform you that it is currently undergoing internal upgrading to enhance facilities and services, aiming to provide an even more exceptional wellness experience in the future. We will take immediate and thorough measures to address them, enhancing every aspect of our service and facilities. J Hotel Shanghai Tower is committed to merging artistic elegance with top-notch hospitality, creating an exclusive travel experience imbued with authentic Chinese charm. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon and provide you with a flawless stay that lives up to your expectations. Director, Learning & Development and Quality Assurance

Verified reviewThe view was great and the staff was well trained and friendly. The room was nice.
The spa was closed and no real alternative was provided in addition we were not made aware of the scams going on in the city by the staff which i believe should have been done. We were scammed out of rmb 10 000 in a restaurant as a result. Otherwise the food was underwhelming given the standard the staff holds up to.
Dear Guest, Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent stay at J Hotel. We are truly delighted to receive your recognition of our stunning views, well-trained and friendly staff, and the comfortable room—these are all areas we continuously strive to excel in, and your kind words mean a great deal to our entire team, motivating us to maintain and elevate our standards.
