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):
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.
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.).

Sri LankaThe fact that the hotel was only accepting to provide taxi from the hotel and the taxi wasn’t a hotel branded one so it seemed as if they had ordered a cab at a lower cost and I ended up paying double the amount as I didn’t have Ola or Uber Concienge should assist in getting that option.
The breakfast was much better than the last time although it would have been good to include an Omlette station. I liked the location and I think all in all it was a good experience.

SingaporeThe hotel lacks advertisement and marketing. This hotel should be buzzing with lots of guests. Despite the hotel situated in a happening and lively area, good accommodation, excellent menu, there are only few guests there. Infact I have come to know about this hotel while travelling to the mall. Otherwise there's no way I could have known
Hotel integrated with Express Avenue mall. Pure veg hotel and a decent breakfast menu Comfortable room, clean bathroom Value for money

SingaporeThe bathroom door could not be locked. Toilet rolls provided were not enough but after we mentioned it to room service, they made sure that we had enough.
Vegetarian food for breakfast was good. But it would be good if you could also include eggs (boiled or Omelette) in your breakfast menu.

GermanyIt clearly was a 'good' hotel when it was built, but clearly has been neglected over the years, with nothing being repaired or updated. The bathroom would flood after just one shower. There was a cockroach in the toilet. The doors to the bathroom would not close. The TV had a line down it. The reception staff were terrible and unfriendly. Breakfast started later than advertised. All in all, a run down mismanaged hotel.
The beds were comfortable, and it was close to a western style accommodation. Its location attached to a mall gave great food and drink options. Wifi okay for basic calls, 30 ish MB/s.

AustraliaReception staff (young woman) was rude & a little arrogant when I asked for wi-fi details - she insisted she'd given them to me "in the morning". I checked in the night before! Lose the attitude. I was asked to pay in full at check-in for the two nights I booked without even having a chance to use the hotel: I'm a very experienced traveller & it is customary to process the payment at check out, once the service has been provided. The room access cards (also for the lift) need to be fixed: even the staff members had to swipe them a few times before the doors opened. It is very frustrating to stand in the lift or at the room door swiping several times. My friends & I have used them in hotels all over the world for years & if they are maintained properly, work very well. Bedroom floor could be a little cleaner - there was a tissue on the floor next to the bed when I first arrived. Under the bed needs attention.
Breakfast was very good, lots of variety & tasty. Location was excellent.

SingaporeHowever, the chairs in the room had stains so I didn't want to sit on them.
The check-in experience was just alright, the receiptionist didn't seem too welcoming. The only good thing here is that it's directly connected to the Express Avenue Mall. The spread for breakfast was also average, however, there is fresh dosa station available. The room is pretty clean overall.

MauritiusHad some issues with the front desk/ reception We asked if we could book a room for one more night as our flight was at 3 am and checkout is at noon. The first person we asked kept saying he will see and get back to us but never did. The second person we asked said the hotel was fully booked that day. Sensing something fishy (because of how dismissive they had both been), I checked online and found 4 rooms available for that day. I went ahead and booked it by myself. No explanations nor any apologies were ever given - just a noncommittal "mmm" when we asked. We were even made to move all our luggage between rooms because of " wifi reparations ". Honestly ,I don't know if they actually had repairs to do. It mostly felt like petty revenge for saying we didn't appreciate being lied to. A friendly smile , an apology and/or an explanation goes a long way in solving issues and avoiding bad reviews. Without this sour end to our stay, I otherwise honestly would have given this hotel 10/10 and would have stayed there each time I needed to be in Chennai. Okay 9/10 - half the machines in the gym don't work.
Very good food - Had the best lunches / dinners there. Clean Rooms Excluding reception, the rest of the staff are all friendly , professional and very helpful. It is annexed to EA Mall, which is very practical

Sri LankaThe location is good. But the breakfast spread is minimalist compared to the price we pay. IBIS has a better spread. Further no supervision about toile and room cleaning. My sink was clogged and it was horrible to see some hair stuck in the sink. Towels are old. The floor mopping is not up to date. Walls and corners of the toilet and bathroom set up not polished with even powder like VIM. It is a pity that less attention given to such hygienic considerations. General cleaning ok. But for the rate we pay it is substandard maintained. Staff was very good and kind.

MalaysiaFacilities need refurbishing-rusty locks, worn out tile/ floor.
Breakfast was excellent! We loved the service as well during breakfast, one of my favourite staff during breakfast was Krishna, he was always so helpful and had a smile on his face, always! Room's toilet/ bathroom was a little disappointing, because on the first day, I was locked from the inside of the bathroom, because the lock was rusty and I couldn't unlock it, and had to wait (standing) in the shower for half an hour before they came to my rescue. Otherwise, it was okay, in terms of the facility, but the facilities are a little old and needs refurbishing, in my opinion. The staff overall were very friendly, helpful, and we enjoyed our 8 days-7 nights stay at E-Hotel, and would definitely consider staying there again, since the location is strategic, direct access to Express Avenue Mall! We had lots of fun shopping in the mall EVERYDAY! Overall, I'd rate this property 8 out of 10!
