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 reviewI did not like anything about this property.
-dorm room smelled terribly of mold -dorm bed was in awful condition and caving in like a taco -dorm keyless entry lock and personal lockers all had ridiculously loud beeping that could be heard throughout the facility -very few bathrooms for all of the guests This combined with my loud snoring neighbor and the staff being unable to change me into another dorm led me to leaving at 12am to find a real hotel. This place is stupid expensive for how bad it is.

Verified reviewThe beds were surprisingly comfy! It was perfect for my friend and I who were budget traveling. The facilities were clean as well!
It was a basic hostel and as far as those go, it was good. Everything was just enough.

No elevator, a bit smelly, Toilet and Bath are both not so clean and smelly
Hi Pat, Thank you for your review and for highlighting our location. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet expectations. As a local capsule hostel, our concept and facilities differ from Japanese capsule hotels, but we appreciate your perspective. We also regret that cleanliness and odour were not up to standard during your stay — our team is reviewing this to ensure improvements. Regarding the absence of an elevator, we kindly ask for your understanding as this is a structural limitation of the heritage building. Warm regards, Wink Team

Shower room for female was very uncomfortable. Water turned cold after a few minutes and the shower area just did not feel clean. There was no pic of the shower rooms in the listing

Verified reviewLocation. Well located to sites, food and transportation. Still quiet at night. Private sleeping bunks. Availability of breakfast.
Unless the air conditioning was on very high and cold, there was a strong damp smell to the room. Staff tried to fix the smell with spray, but once that wore off you were left with dealing with the smell or the cold. Mattresses are quite thin.

Verified reviewThe hostel is close to Chinatown, the MRT and in a walkable distance to the Gardens of the Bay.
The bed sheets were dirty - there was blood on the sheet. The men's showers smelled like pee. In the women's showers there was a lot of hair and the showering facilities were just too small for the amount of people in the morning and the evening. If you have the bed under the AC, you should bring a hoodie, long sleeping pants and another blanket, because we freezed so much in the night! The temperature difference between outside and inside was just too big! And the mattress was very used.
Hi Ronja, Thank you for your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced with the bed sheets and showers, as well as the discomfort caused by the air conditioning and mattress condition. These are not the standards we aim to uphold. Your comments are invaluable in helping us address these problems promptly to improve the experience for future guests. Warm regards, Wink Team
