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 reviewMy stay at A Residence was absolutely enjoyable. The room was warm, stylish, and thoughtfully arranged with everything you might need for a comfortable night. I loved the small gestures — the air conditioner was already running when we arrived, and they provided useful extras like a powerbank, space to store our luggage, several bottles of drinking water, and extra toiletries. The service was truly commendable. Shortly after check-in, the host sent a message to ask if everything was satisfactory — a rare courtesy that really stood out. The room came with excellent features, including efficient air conditioning, a strong shower, a spotless bathroom, a secure drawer, and a fridge. The location is very convenient for moving around Kota Kinabalu. One thing to note is that there’s no lift, so you’ll need to use the stairs to reach your room. It wasn’t a major issue, just something to keep in mind. There was also a bit of noise from a nearby pub on the first night, but they had already provided earplugs, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, a clean, cozy, and well-managed place to stay. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting KK.
The only slight inconvenience was the stair access, but it didn’t bother me much

Verified reviewComfortable stay, clean room, and very attentive team. This hotel went above and beyond to meet the guests'needs. Eateries and shops are close by. Walkable to the seafood shop and Filipino market
Staircases to get to the room. Not suitable for elderly. It is good that they have a separate shower and toilet, but the size of both for us are a bit small.

Verified reviewThe rooms are small but very good, and very beautifully decorated like 5 star hotel rooms, with modern European design.
No lift at the hotel, no reception or waiting area. You will have to carry your own luggage to second floor.

Verified reviewLovely small boutique hotel-style residence. They have 6 rooms in total, each newly renovated, clean, modern, and full of high-quality amenities (toiletries, slippers, tea etc.). Comfy bed and large rain-shower. Staff were wonderful and helpful: we booked last minute and they were able to help us immediately! Location close to good seafood restaurants and quite central.
It is a bit unclear on booking.com which room is which, but I imagine they are all great! Location means there are 2 flights of stairs (no elevator) and the street / church can be heard in the rooms on weekend. But it wasn't *too* loud, just audible, and the provision of ear plugs meant it did not bother us. :)

Verified review1. The interior was so aesthetic. 2. Good service eventho no receptionist counter. The staff frequently checked on us via WA ensuring our comfiness. Immediate response as well if I raised any issue. 3. Bed was so comfy. 4. They provided the basic needs (iron, shower kit, wet and dry tissue, USB, mineral water, tea/coffee) 5. There is a muslim restaurant below the place. Easy for us to get breakfast since it opens early as well.
1. It was so noisy on our first night stay that came from karaoke session nearby us. We raised the issue and on our second night stay, it was ok and peaceful. 2. The shower area got clogged. The water drained slower. 3. No lift but can ask for help from the staff to bring luggages.

Verified reviewI really loved the location and the room. It was very clean and everything worked perfectly. The staff is very responsive and helpful from the moment of the booking until checkout. They let us leave our luggage in the morning before checking in at 3pm. The area is full of cafe, restaurants, small shops and massage places.
The only thing that makes this place a bit uncomfortable is the fact that they don’t have the elevator to get upstairs which could be a problem if you’re travelling with heavy luggage.

Verified reviewSuper posh and clean! Staff is there to assist 24/7 Chat is very reponsive and meet your needs! Dont be fooled by the location and the groundfloor
The location is a bit turn off as you have to go through food stalls, with dodgy vibe. But the room is exceptional that it compensates this issue. Another thing is it is on the second floor which is quite a hustle, have to consider for people who is disabled or wheelchair bound. Luggages are not a problem as the staff will assist.
