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.).

MalaysiaI did not enjoy my daiquiri at the bar - it was neither fresh nor tasty, and the staff was not friendly. A table nearby was very very loud and obnoxious, drunk and having fun, yes, but they were disturbing the peace of other guests including families and the staff did not help to manage it. All in all, I enjoy the view but the bar was annoying. The hotel is a little pricey for Sabah.
The staff are A+, and the concierge A++ .... and I am a tough customer. The room is spacious, very clean and very comfortable. It is a great place to jalan jalan, watch a sunset and feel the vibe of the city. The breakfast has many options, all of which are are tasty and well prepared The Pool is covered and clean - smallish, but not busy. The location can't be beat if you want access to markets - the fish/fresh (Anjung Kinabalu) market is across the street and the handicraft market, traditional market and two small malls are across the street or a few hundred meters away. Anjung Kinabalu is a colorful splash for the senses. The waterfront boardwalk is close by for a peaceful night walk. The outdoor bar is a large space and great place to watch the sunset. End result - I will stay again in the future.

MalaysiaThere is only one issue in room 0932 — on the floor near the toilet, there is water that needs to be pushed manually as it will not dry or drain on its own. Therefore, you need to wear slippers
Superb — beautiful sea view and great location, surrounded by most of the main attractions.

United KingdomWe were initially allocated room 0910, which has a staff cupboard adjacent to it. The door on this cupboard slams regularly, creating a very loud bang in the room. We raised this problem and we were allocated another room without issue. However you may want to try to avoid room 0910 (and presumably 0810, 0710 etc).
This is a beautiful high standard hotel. The rooms are large, clean and well designed, with very comfortable beds. The breakfast spread is extensive, with something for every taste. The staff are polite and helpful. The pool and gym are excellent. The hotel seems to cater mainly for a Chinese clientele.

United StatesThe beds only had a blanket with no basic cover sheet underneath, so I had to max the AC to avoid being too hot in bed while still having a cover.

Hong KongWe were only there for a night, the lobby was a little crowded, so didn't try the F&B options which were in the lobby.
Great location in the center of KK, very close to the airport if you have an early flight, also close to market and boardwalk which are great to go to at sunset - I recommend both the Italian and Thai restaurants. Lovely sea view from the bedroom, which have floor to ceiling windows, bedroom was a good size good strong shower, and nice bathroom amenities.

Everything was wonderful. Loved the lounge access - a definite bonus. Everything was outstanding - however the super friendly and helpful staff really made my stay that much better! Great gym. My first trip to KK, loved every second.
