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.).

Ms. Ong and her family were delightful. Ms. Ong was most generous with her time and recommendations. I had multiple invites for hikes, but unfortunately I was recovering from an ankle injury. The property is immaculate and very comfortable. A few minutes walk to the Gurney malls and short Grab ride to Georgetown proper. I assure you my next visit to Penang... Ms. Ong's property is the only place I'll stay!

Location was excellent, away from the main road yet super convenient to walk to Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon, even Pulau Tikus wet market. So quiet and private, I had a really good sleep! The host Kelly is incredibly kind and friendly :)

We had an amazing experience staying at La Bella Maison 12 in Penang. The house was beautifully maintained — everything was super clean and neat, which made us feel right at home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we all had such a good night’s sleep. What we really loved was how kids-friendly the place is. It felt safe and cozy, which is perfect for families traveling with little ones. On top of that, the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming — communication was smooth, and they went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a truly pleasant stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, comfy, and family-friendly homestay in Penang!

Would 100% recommend staying here. Kelly the owner is really nice and friendly. I had to change my check in and out times several times because of flight issues and she was very understanding about it. She made sure we were comfortable and happy during our stay. She recommended good local food places for us to try out and even took us out on a city tour in her car. In terms of the room, it was spacious clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was also well maintained. The location is very convenient. There are two malls about 1-2 minutes away with good food shops and a supermarket. Overall m mother and I enjoyed the stay here very much.

This is a private house. Very clean, cozy, safe and comfortable. Quiet place not far from the center - 10 minutes by taxi. House has A/C, hot water, speed Wi-Fi, shared good kitchen and refrigerator. If you stay for more than 3 days - you can use the washing machine. Owner of the house is very hospitable and smart lady. Her family is wonderful. We became friends and are still in touch. I will gladly return to this house again. When I arrived, I lived there alone for a few days and enjoyed being there. On the last day of my stay, other guests arrived, and I realized how lucky I was to be living alone. I thank the owner from the bottom of my heart, wish tgem all the best and very reccomend to stay there.

The room is super clean and spacious. The host is very nice and welcoming. One of the best I ever experienced after many years of traveling. The location is very convenient for shopping for sight seeing. You can easily go to Georgetown by bus and avoid the noise there. Also can go to the seashore mountain natural area by bus.
