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 reviewPleasant staff. They tried to help. Very comfortable bed to get good sleep. Decent arrangement of bedroom & bathroom. Decent warm water even tho it was not hot.
Very inconvenient electricity & water situation. Did not clean trash & upkeep bathrooms everyday. Too many mosquitoes. Breakfast was not enough. Try serving a larger portion since you don't do buffet style. (The plate was smelly so I didn't feel like eating). The breakfast is served at a bad time. It would help if it was as other places...till 11-11:30 instead of 9:30. Thank you.

Verified reviewNear downtown area
Not clean, wrong information, poor customer service, always no electricity power, it’s hot. Expensive.They don’t fix the bed ply wood wall for privacy.
Thank you for your very detailed review. We must say, your interpretation of check-in policies is quite creative—arriving at 1 AM and deciding that it was ‘already day 14,’ so no extra payment was required, is certainly an innovative approach. We also appreciate you highlighting our central location and pricing. As for cleanliness and service, we will continue working hard to meet the high expectations you clearly hold—even if that requires hiring a magician to clean rooms instantly. That said, since you openly admitted to using a fake credit card for this booking, it’s no surprise that when we attempted to process payment for your extra stay, the transaction was flagged as fraudulent. We sincerely hope you continue to enjoy complimentary stays elsewhere and share more of your “honest” feedback in the future. Best of luck!

Verified reviewOne of the best hostel options in Yangon for me! The rooms and facilities offer great value for money for a budget hostel. The staff are definitely very helpful during my stay, especially Michelle at the front desk. She was incredibly helpful, even beyond my time at the hostel—assisting me with booking a bus to Bagan, finding the best exchange rates, and more. Special credit to her!
