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.).

KenyaCan be a bit noisy and crowded as it’s quite busy.
The staffs are very welcoming and always ready to assist with anything. We had an AC issue and called front desk, within 5 mins staff came to resolve the issue. The kids facility is great, my child enjoyed the water slides very much. Breakfast options are excellent.

AustraliaNothing at all
Staff was exceptional, can't name them all but from concierge, front desk, restaurant staff, pool, housekeeping and the various F&B outlet staff - genuine, always with a smile and nothing is too much of an issue. The resort was what we, the family wanted. somewhere to relax and enjoy. We stayed in the Tanjung wing and the sunset was spectacular. My husband and I were in the deluxe sea view suite, and we would highly recommend. What we did like was that there was a kid friendly pool area and an adult pool area which suited us perfectly.

United KingdomCharging ahead of spending on my credit card and then refunding later. This obviously benefits the hotel but has no advantage for guests. I was not provided with a printed itemised bill on checkout nor have I received this information by email as promised. I am currently awaiting the credit card bill to settle this account.
We wanted a few days/ nights luxury at the end of our 8 week trip to New Zealand and Borneo to relax & process our adventures. We wanted for nothing and the customer service from all staff was outstanding. Thankyou. The food selection at buffet breakfast was huge and delicious. We sampled a smaller poolside restaurant twice & had excellent food & service. Thank you Jennifer. We also tried the Ramadam dinner which was excellent too.

QatarNothing we didn't like.
The staff is amazing - nothing was too much trouble and they were all really friendly. Special mention to chef Oliver, Connie, Jumiati and the rest of the staff in Café Tatu; Norman and the staff in the Horizon Lounge (top, top breakfast). It seems a little unfair to pick those out as every single staff member we encountered was exemplary at every level but we had the most interaction with them. Very well done to everyone. We will definitely be back!!

SingaporeRoom is abit old as the balcony got moss at staircase which can be danger when it is wet. Staff forget to prepare the babycot, extra pillows and kits for kids as requested earlier few weeks ahead. Also forget to bring in luggage earlier before check in the room as promised. However, they did apologised and give fruits for my kids. Hopefully, next time i can see improvement as i really like the location here.
Best to see sunset in Kota Kinabalu, near airport and city. Got facilities for kids and babies.

MalaysiaThe check-in experience not so good. Queuing system for room check in need to improve to avoid early comers to wait for long time. Hotel restaurants seem not enough to accommodate the guests. The 1st night I arrived and decided to stay inside hotel for dinner here. But all full! Lack of stuff to handle big amount of guest.
The entire staying experience is good. I loves the view from my room @ Tanjung Wing. The sea shores is clean. The staff are all very friendly. My son broken a glass, the room cleaning team En Ahmad and his team mate helps to clean and vacuum the glass broken pieces on the floor mat thoroughly.

MalaysiaUnfortunately, if you plan to explore the city center, this hotel might not be the best in terms of the location. Because the hotel itself is like 15-20 mins away from the city center, which for some may be inconvenient.
The hotel has a lot of amenities and activities that you can do, from indoor to outdoor, and also you can directly get on a ferry to go to other islands. Aside from that, the vast choices of food in the breakfast area is also another plus side. The room itself can host a family of four with a baby, which allows us to rent a room instead of having two or more rooms.
