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 reviewVery clean, almost new, apartment in the city centre. Easy to reach by taxi from airport. All kind of markets, shops and restaurants nearby. Friendly host/owner explained everything. The apartment is well equiped, the washing machine came in handy.
The big building that this apartment is part of is located near the shoreline of KoKi, thus it's near the flightpath to & from BKI airport. Personally, I would have developed this building somewhere else.

Verified reviewThe apartment was absolutely lovely, so clean and fresh and had everything we needed there. Mio greeted us at check in and gave us lots of useful information about the apartment.
Not a fault of the apartment at all, but the lifts often got very full very quick and could take a while to arrive. We did visit during Chinese New Year though so the tower may have been busier due to this

Verified reviewJust a fantastic, fantastic place to stay in Kota Kinabalu. There is absolutely nothing lacking in this Apartment. Right across the street is a shopping mall with a supermarket (if you would wish to buy souvenirs, buy them here for their vast variety and reasonable price). At about 50 meters is the "wet market" which continues on to the sea-side promenade. A very short distance away is a vast, bustling night market. By way of location, what better can you have? The Apartment itself is very well equipped with all amenities, cook ware, washing machine etc etc. The extremely kind owner has even provided some single use towels in case you visit the hot springs, an umbrella and a beach towel. In short, take this Apartment.....you will do yourself a favour!!!!
Nothing lacking.

Verified reviewMio is an excellent host, great communication, answered all my questions and gave great advice! The apartment is very homely, and I was instantly comfortable there. The washing machine and facilities were all just great! Loved my stay!
The apartment block is very noisy and busy in general. The noise from the pool travels up the entire building, especially when the kids are screaming. The fire alarm also goes off often, so something to be aware of.

Verified reviewFantastic location and modern facilities provided a great base in KK. Mia is a fantastic host and was prompt in communication and working in with our plans, even carrying some of our bags to the apartment.
Building is still under construction, so expect some noise during the day. Construction didn't hinder our experience.

Verified reviewThe apartment is super clean and beautifully organised. We had everything we needed from a coffee machine to a great washing machine and dryer. There’s a pool downstairs which is a great place to view the sunset. The apartment is close to markets and restaurants. There is also a supermarket next door to stock up on supplies. Mio is a super helpful host. She met us in the foyer to facilitate a smooth check in and was available for queries etc. during our stay. She recommended some good restaurants to try and even returned an item that we left behind.
The apartment block is still under construction so we had some building noise during one of the three days we were there. This was never at night or early morning so it didn’t disturb our sleep.
