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.).

SerbiaSmell of sweat in the room. The room itself was a little shabby, half of it was covered with the construction dust. The fun part is - the hotel warned us in advance about the construction work on the site. So we asked for a room far away from works, and the hotel responded that it is possible and will be considered. But in fact, our room was right above the construction place. Luckily, it doesn't impact us at all :)
Just a normal hotel, nothing to say specifically. Very helpful and nice staff. Unexpectedly, they offer a really great and varied breakfast. There are lots of shops, cafes and restaurants around.

MalaysiaThe only downside for me was the carpeted floor in the room — I have a sensitive nose, so it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Great stay. Highly recommended! The place is clean, cozy, and fully equipped. The location is ideal — peaceful surroundings, close to town, and plenty of food options nearby. Breakfast was included, with a nice variety, and everything was delicious!

United Arab EmiratesQuality of food for the breakfast could be slightly improved. Also I found the taxi service offered by the hotel to be very expensive (despite being well organized and smooth).
The staff is very supportive and responsive, both at the reception or even before the travel online to arrange logistics. it's also well placed not too far from main attractions in the city and close to the airport. The room is rather big and simple with the minimum comfort for 1 or 2 nights.

MalaysiaThe only downside was the soundproofing; some noise from outside could still be heard.
We didn’t have high expectations based on the hotel photos, but it ended up exceeding them in every way: 1. The room was clean 2. The bed was comfortable 3. Breakfast was decent and definitely worth the price we paid 4. Great location — very convenient 5. Overall, I’m a very satisfied customer and would happily stay again.

I like the staff; they are very attentive and caring. They are polite and friendly—they are the asset of this place. I like the shuttle, with its reasonable price. The food is tasty 😋. The wifi is fast, the location is good, and they have a small gym, which I enjoyed because I think I was the only one using it 😀.

We had a fantastic 4 night stay at Al Afiah. Breakfast each morning was delicious. The room was clean, large, and had extremely comfortable beds. The hotel cleaned and made up the room quickly each day, which was highly appreciated. Reception helped arranged multiple tours and boat taxis (the hotel has its own jetty only 1 minute walk away), which allowed to easily explore the city and surrounding nature, We were also able to safely walk to both the town center and the night market from the hotel. Would highly recommend anyone coming to visit Brunei to stay here.
