Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

BangladeshI had only one issue but never informed the host. I'm sure it would have been addressed if they had been informed. T was the Wifi was fine in the dining area but very bad in the bedroom. As my Wifi priority was low, it did not impact me that much.
Very simple check-in. Big room and dining space. Clean bathroom. Big beds. Nice view and plenty of natural light during the day. Great location. Supermarket in the basement and also across the road. Plenty of eateries close by. Cafes downstairs also serve breakfast.

MalaysiaThe door knob lock is faulty, my toddler could open the door and ran out eventhough we locked the door, in the end need to use the coffee table to block the door. Only 1 bathroom available.
Spacious, provided with simple kitchenettes & washer. Parking is easy as there is dedicated underground carpark. Staff waited us till late night for checking in which we really appreciate.

MalaysiaIt’s an apartment and not a hotel. So, you need to get your own breakfast etc which should not be a big problem in Penang.
First, check in process was easy. Second, Spacious and the rooms were clean. Third, you could do you own laundry as they have a washing machine as well as the dryer.

MalaysiaThe location of the reception lobby was tricky to find. Although the receptionist in the lobby was trying to send directions through WhatsApp, it was still difficult to navigate because it didn't seem as apparent. We were second-guessing if we were at the right building due to the name of the place was missing from the one in the photo. A little on the downside of this stay was that the location was not accessible to the beach as we had anticipated. Perhaps this isn't part of the accommodation's problem but the entry to the beach was kind of sealed off and sort of accessible through other hotels. So a bit heads up for those who plan on walking to the beach or any sort, to be a bit careful in their selection of the location and to know where's able to access the beach and which isn't. The beds were not as comfortable but it's still decent for a good rest (mine had squeaky noises each time I turned around). The room that my friend occupied was closest to the roads outside and could hear prayer sounds from the mosque that were pretty loud; so that might not bode well with light sleepers.
It was a fairly easy process with the receptionist in the lobby. He explained everything clearly and concisely and handed two access key cards for the rooms and one parking card for the basement. It was lovely to know we could park anywhere as long as it was within the basement parking. The rooms were spacious and honestly, even though I booked it in mind for 5 people, I could see 6 people being able to stay as well. The unit came with a washing machine, iron and ironing board, a fridge, a microwave and even spare plastic bags for trash. I didn't know that there was housekeeping but was surprised at it when the shampoo bottles were replenished, the place was vacuumed and fresh towels were on our table. Overall, my whole family and friends were pretty pleasant during our stay.

AustraliaReally for the price we couldn't complain, the apartment flooring does need to be replaced (laminate that has warped over time) the cleaning ladies do a fantastic job of keeping everything spotlessly clean, and also having a washer dryer was fantastic. We couldn't find any english speaking programs on the TV, no great hassle, so just watched our Netflix etc on our tablet, I'd advise taking a chromecast dongle if you watch TV at night.
It was a great apartment with water views, very comfy. The consierge Jason was lovely and very patient with our requests. The Security guys were always smiling & friendly. We were very happy that there was a Mercato Supermarket downstairs, very convenient for buying cold drinks (beer & wine), we also ate at the Japanese restaurant Edo Ichi & the 7 villages Noodle House both excellent, and had coffee's at a few of the coffee shops in the building. So convenient to have the bus pull up at the front of the Island Plaza (we bought weekly My Penang bus cards/passports for 30MYR ea which made it super simple to get into Georgetown or out to Batu Feringhi. The new pedestrian overpass will make it easier to cross the main road, it was available to climb the stairs to cross but they were still putting in the elevators when we were there. Shen Fu Night food cafe (5pm till late closed on Tues) is so convenient with around 30 different kinds of food and Bar table service thats so quick, you won't mind having to wait for the food as it can get busy. Satay guy has a cart right across the road there are table & chairs (I think open wed-sun from 5pm till sold out) 10 chicken satay, sauce and salad + rice 11MYR get in early, because the cars line up down the street waiting to order, you won't be sorry. My Best Recommendation: Kafe Tanjung (Nyonya Economy Rice open till 4PM if there's still food) if you like good old fashioned honest food, is probably the best food you will ever eat, hands down, no question, their ethos is simple you serve yourself and you pay for the portion size - our first time for 2x meals plus lemon water drink was a total 17MYR I had chicken curry, veg & rice and wife had Braised Pork, veg & rice, last visit we had 5 of the biggest sweetest prawns in the yummiest sauce with veg noodles & rice + our usual drink for 20MYR each ($13.
