How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOur upstairs unit was a large room with balcony. It was sunny with a kitchenette. The location was great, walking distance to the Palace, the river and the main town. It had a great swimming pool.
The pool is great to swim in but it isn’t for relaxing around as no area to do that. Getting to the room is ‘interesting’ but great once you’re there.

Verified reviewAlthough I only stayed two nights this apartment is really great for someone staying for a week or even a month. The kitchen is provisioned enough that you can prepare your own simple meals, if you get sick of eating out. There are shops close by that you can buy food to cook. They are also plenty of restaurants that you can eat at. If you are feeling a little homesick there is a KFC on the corner. There is a large wardrobe, desk and a large fridge. There are a Power Points next to the bed. The bathroom has hot water and simple toiletries. The bed itself was a little bit soft or lumpy but not uncomfortable. It is close to the palace and also a short took took ride to the S 21 prison or a longer ride to get to the killing fields. I thought the location was quite convenient to get to bus, train or to the airport.
It was quite difficult for the tuk tuk driver to find the location even with the address in the local language. In the end what worked for me was that I had taken a screen shot of Google Maps Street view so I knew what it looked like. The Cafe Black is a good landmark but not a great landmark, check out Google Maps Street view to orient yourself to the location. If you are using passapp or GRAB you probably won’t have that trouble.

Verified reviewRelaxing in the swimming pool (clean by the way). Soaking up the sun. The property has everything including cutlery, a kitchen sink, cloths, office table, hot shower, cups and the like. I enjoyed my stay and can't complain in the slightest.

It's not clean. The shower was very mouldy, and not comfortable at all. The mattress was old and uncomfortable. I think is possible to find something better for the same price

Verified reviewWe arrived in the middle of the night and it was no Problem to check-in. The Host is super friendly and the room was very spacious and comfortable.
The area around the pool could have more seating/chill options.

Verified reviewA double, ensuite, with cooking facilities and a pool, in the middle of a major city; for ten quid! Can't beat that.
The bathroom facilities consisted of an empty toilet roll, half a mini bottle of shampoo and a used bar of soap.
