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.).

TaiwanIt was disturbing that someone suddenly opened the door with a code at midnight without telling me. I only found out the next day that it was the housekeeping staff.
All the facilities are very user-friendly and provide just the right amount of help.

MoroccoThe fact that I didn't stay there longer.
The beds were soooo comfortable, and they were real beds not bunk beds, the roof was very high, and the sleeping room was clean, for the showers the water was hot,and they were cleaned regularily, and the socialising room looked like a phenomenal pinterest room for me, it has a variety of beautiful collected stuff, woody furniture everywhere, and beautiful peranakan tiles and design, booklets about penang and a collection of books, and a piano, a working one. I enjoyed staying in the socialising room, to the point that I started thinking that I should buy a house similar to that and settle there, The owner was so kind and helpful, and he came regularly to clean the house, and the location of the hostel was perfect close to anything you may ever need. I just loved this house, it felt like a real warm home, not a mere hostel, and I met lots of sweet girls there, what a wonderful experience! I wish there were more only females hostels like this one in every city.

ThailandThe only minor downside is the bathroom design, since there's no separation between the shower and the toilet, the floor gets completely wet.
I stayed at this hostel for five nights initially and ended up extending my stay at another nearby place owned by the same host almost 2 weeks more. Both experiences were great! The owner, MK, is very kind and attentive, always willing to help. The atmosphere is cozy and starts to feel like home as you settle in. The place offers useful amenities like a fridge, microwave, and other kitchen essentials. The location is great, close to many tourist spots and also convenient if you're planning to take the bus around. I also had the chance to meet and connect with some lovely girls during my stay, which made the experience even more special. Overall, a great budget-friendly option with a warm and welcoming vibe.

I don’t usually stay in hostels, but I’m SO glad I stayed here. Amazing location, with street art, quirky cafes and street food around the corner. I felt so safe here, the other women were friendly and kind. The owner is lovely and has a big heart. It felt like a home rather than a hostel. Thank you!

United StatesSafe, quiet and clean in a charming, old Penang villa with a small kitchen, comfortable sitting areas and a front porch with many plants in the center of Penang. It is my forth visit to Penang, and I always stay here. The owner is very kind and accommodating. The guests are lovely and considerate of each other. As only girls stay here, it is very comfortable and relaxing.

FranceHad the most amazing time at this guest house! Location is ideal, close to everything from night markets, Love Lane if you want to party, Little India... everything is a short walk away! But the house itself is tucked away in a nice quiet street, with a cafe just accross the road. The place itself is gorgeous, and beautifully taken care of by Tomoko who comes around everyday! Mk is a fantastic host and I could not recommend enough staying at one of his accomodations. Ask him for advice if you need to know anything, he's super helpful. Thanks again 🤗
