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 reviewExtremely friendly and helpful people. Very stylish place - even the background music was enjoyable. We also enjoyed the breakfast. For the beach we could get fresh towels and beach mats in a bag every day 😎
I can't think of anything at the moment 😊

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was delicious and cooked according to our preferences. The location is nice, in between the main street and the sea. There is a cool-looking bar in the hotel. Unfortunately it was closed during our stay. If you visit Kenting, which I wouldn't necessarily recommend, this hotel is an enjoyable option.

Verified reviewWe arrived earlier than expected and we're able to leave our bags whilst we did our washing at the launderette just round the corner. The staff were very accommodating in terms of providing me with a vegetarian breakfast which was very good. The room was spacious with a balcony. Deer Head Inn has character. Beach mats and towels were a bonus also afternoon tea with cookies. Loved the jazz music. The area was quiet but still closed to the main street and night market.
View from the balcony, which overlooked a neighbouring parking lot with what appeared to be a couple of scrapped scooters. This is beyond the control of the owners.

Verified reviewMy room was spacious and beautifully furnished. There was a bath, which I didn’t use, and a really powerful shower over it. Breakfast was fantastic - when I checked in they asked about my food likes / dislikes and the two breakfasts that I had were not only excellent they were different on each day.
Nothing!

Bar being shut before midnight so we couldn't have a late night drink before bed which would have been nice. Breakfast Ok, no choice.

Verified reviewTotally restful with a lovely bar, well stocked with fine beers and a cool Jazz vibe. The breakfast was Euro/Taiwan fusion, served at the table and the staff were ALL 100% delightful, helpful and completely respectful. Location is right in centre but even with window open at night it was completely quiet… couldn’t have asked for much better 😍
Ever so slightly at top end of price for a budget solo traveller

Verified reviewThe room and communal areas were immaculate and beautifully designed. It’s in a very quiet street, but close to the night market.
The view from the balcony isn’t great - no sea view and looks onto a parking lot but the design of the hotel makes up for it.
