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 reviewWe arrived there at the guest house. There was no reception desk. The guy who works there told us we had to pay for the stays, we had to tell him it has been paid online. They wanted to get more money from us. It was not acceptable. The room they gave us was way too small, it looked way different from pictures they posted on booking.com Room was very small, no place to walk around. The bathroom was very dirty and very small. We booked for 5 nights but we checked out the next day. I heard other people who checked in at this guest house had complained like us. They are going to lose their business soon.

Verified reviewThe booking says to go directly at the 7/F A9. But the reception is at 12th floor Block D STRAWBERRY GUEST HOUSE. When we arrive. They said the Payless 7/F A9 is already fully booked. And make us stay in the LEISURE HOTEL just beside the STRAWBERRY GUEST HOUSE. They told us one of the 2 rooms that should be for us is not yet available until tom. So they gave us a smaller room and promised to move us to a nicer bigger room. But when the room is available they gave it to other guest and told us useless excuses. The audacity. Then 2nights have already passed before they make us move to our supposed to be room. Later that night when we came back to our room there is a leak coming out from the toilet's door out to the room floor and there is a bad smell coming out from it. When we go to the reception desk to ask someone for help. There is no one to talk to and we cannot access the door on the reception. The toilet continue to leak that the floor is really wet, we had to use the old towel to stop it or else we might slip on the floor. Take note no one is even using the toilet but it still happen. We keep our patience. As we cant talk to any of the staff. Also because we need to checkout early in the morning. They have really poor service. They made us pay for the original amount of the tooms we booked but gave us smaller rooms for 2nights. they should have given us a discount for that. And when they gave us the room. Its disgusting. The management handling these group of guesthouse in CHUNGKING MANSION is CRAP. Beware to book on GUEST HOUSE that the address is 7th floor. PAYLESS 7/F Block A9, STRAWBERY 12F Block D& LEISURE. 12f Block D STOP OVERBOOKING YOUR GUESTHOUSE ON BOOKING.COM. GIVE THE EXACT ROOM THE GUEST HAS BOOKED AND PAID FOR. POOR STAFF. LEAK AND SMELLY ROOM.

Verified reviewI like is the location of the property. Decided to stay at this 'guest house' for the reason that it's nearby the starting line of the Standard Chartered HK Marathon, the next day's event that I'm participating in and it will start very early in the morning so the property is very convenient, and there's a lot of food choices nearby. I only need a decent place to sleep for the night before the Sunday's event. Another thing, the property owner Limbu is accommodating (in fairness) but it's only that, nothing else, it didn't help much to address the problems that arise in the later part of the day/night.
The property should give client the room that was reserved/booked including the items listed on the reservation/booking. I got the total opposite of what I booked for, which is a double bed with window, electric kettle, private bathroom, etc. I was given a single bed in a very tiny room, with private bathroom/toilet combined, with window, but no kettle that I specifically need in the morning to prepare my own breakfast before I go to the marathon. I filed a complaint with booking.com and later that night I was offered by the owner to change to a double bed in a room to another property only to find out that the room has no window (worst). The switch happened at the time that I should have been resting already for the next day's event, instead I have to deal with these inconveniences dragging all my things from one property to another. When I refused to accept the 'new' room, the other property owner (Limbu's friend) rudely ask me to leave. I told him that I'm not leaving until I speak to Limbu, owner of the first property that I was originally booked. I demanded to be back in the small room but they gave it already to another person and the owner said it's not possible anymore. I stood my ground, so it was sorted and I was back to the small room. It's a cheap accommodation, I understood, but they should have been at least truthful with what they are advertising and offering. The photos of the rooms are misleading. Be very careful. The owner reasoned with me when I asked why they don't have the room that I booked, he said they are very busy and fully booked. I booked few days ahead of time and they should've had the room ready on the day of my check-in, it's the usual practice. Obviously they are just giving away any room that they have at hand, the booking details doesn't matter. Also, It's very difficult to contact the property. They are very unresponsive to phone calls and messages.
