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.).

United StatesRidiculously large/cumbersome key cluster: a magnetic strip for the street door, a key for the inner cafe door, and a skeleton key for the room. Speed-changing A/C fan, shower that wets entire bathroom floor. Pretty good if that’s all I can think of.
Really good location and staff (Lin is wonderful), eclectic tastefully decorated interior. No electricity cutoff when leaving the room. There appears to be 3 dorm rooms and 2 doubles upstairs and one triple down (behind the cafe). All rooms are shared bath (there are 2 upstairs). I stayed 3nights in the downstairs triple, which was in the back, off the street, without a window, so was insulated from outdoor noise, but not stuffy. A/C worked great except the fan seemed uncontrollable: speed oscillated continuously (even in “quiet” mode) and since I’m a light sleeper, earplugs did the trick. Two light switches provided good lighting, and there is a switchable exhaust fan to vent and another fan to circulate air, but they aren’t necessary. The room has clothes hooks, sufficient space, and there’s a drying line on the roof. The bathrooms (upstairs) have the typical Asian shower that floods everywhere (squeegees are provided, but ignored by guests). Also available are 2 sinks and 2 toilet stalls downstairs (for cafe patrons?), so triple room occupants only have to climb stairs to shower. Overall a really nice clean place to stay.

United StatesSuch a cute hostel in a nicely renovated traditional building. Owner/staff was very friendly and let us check-in early (much appreciated!). Great location in Taiping old town, with lots of nice cafes and restaurants nearby. For info, the triple room had no window. The owner told us at the time of booking, and we decided to keep the room anyway. The room did feel a bit claustrophobic, but you can hang around in the café area. We did enjoy our stay there.

SwitzerlandNothing not to like.
From the moment I stepped into the accommodation, I fell in love with the interior design—so much attention to detail! The dorm and shared bathroom were very clean, and the owner and staff were incredibly kind. I felt so comfortable that instead of staying for just two days as planned, I ended up staying an entire week. The accommodation is located right next to the night market, offering great food. It’s a great starting point for exploring the area. Taiping has a lot to offer when it comes to street food, a beautiful park for relaxing, and a national park for hiking. A trip to Kuala Sepetang is also worth it. It’s a great place for long-term travelers looking for a slower pace—overall, a peaceful and relaxing stay.

It was perfect! Best hostel in the whole Malaysia. Lin, the amazing lady who takes care of the place was super friendly, kind and helpful from the minute I made my booking. She's like an one person army, for she keeps it spotless, super organised and guarantees the super nice vibe of the place. The hostel is cozy, super comfortable and the other guests were also super nice and always respectful. Cheers for the great work they are doing!
