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):
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.
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.).

GermanyThe staff was very nice and helpful, nearly fluent in english. If you are interested, a lot of program is offered and could be organised for you. The location is great, nearby the train Station ( 25 min. Walk) and the river and seas. The furnishing is very pretty and special. The Breakfast was very tasty - Chinese and Continental as most of the guests were non-chinese. It was possible to have Breakfast 30 min earlier as offered, because we had to leave. Thanks again.

United KingdomThe hotel can organise train station and Li Jiang cruise transfers for you - we found out afterwards that they charge about double the rate of local taxis! Just something to be aware of, but the price for day trips etc. was otherwise quite reasonable.
The hotel had an amazingly convenient location, good breakfast and helpful staff reception (including changing our room when our original bathroom had a leaking shower tray).

United KingdomGorgeous little hotel in a great location, 10 minute drive from the pedestrian road and right next to the lake, great views. The hotel itself is very nicely decorated, antique but modern at the same time. Room was very comfy and spacious. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was very helpful, especially in finding us a last minute river cruise on a national holiday!

BelgiumIf I have to stay something I'd mention that the breakfast room temperature was quite high. But that's the only less than perfect point during our stay
From the nice welcome with a smile and some tea, to the cozy and nice and comfortable room, to the helpful stuff, to the bowindow area for savouring some tea... everything has been perfect during our stay at the Aroma Tea House.

AustriaThe view from the room was amazing. The location directly at the lake is beautiful and in the night the colorful lights are really beautiful. The breakfast was compared with the other breakfast. We had quite good don’t expect a five star European or an Arabic breakfast. We don’t know why the comments on booking are so ambitious. We can only recommend this hotel and we have been staying in many hotels in China and all over the world.

AustraliaThe view of the lake from our room, being on a lower level, was blocked by street trees.
Located next to the lake we were able to walk around it enjoying the lovely views. The breakfast room was located at the top floor with perfect views and delicious food. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and were able to organize activities on our behalf. The room was spacious and clean.

This hotel is a gem. The hotel, location, staff, service, and breakfast were amazing. The hotel has real character, art and antiques are tastefully displayed. They create a dreamy and tranquil atmosphere. My wife and I would like extend our appreciation to Rose and all the staff who were professional, kind and attentive during our 5 day stay. They are great ambassadors for This hotel and Guilin in general. The team’s English proficiency was impressive but it was the compassion and care they brought to their work that was exceptional. Rose, Ida and Zuba were very supportive, arranging tours, recommending restaurants and giving directions. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

Scenic location next to Rong Lake. Hotel full of antiques as it used to be a museum. Each room had a tea room next to the window. It would have been so relaxing to drink tea, read books and enjoy the scenery. Or enjoy a stroll around the lakes. Chinese breakfast was good. Service is good

Excellent location next to Rong Lake. Beautiful room with a relaxing tea room in the room, great for relaxing, reading a book and enjoying tea. Very clean hotel full of antiques from different dynasties as this hotel was previously a museum. Would have loved to stay longer and enjoy walks around the property. Good Chinese breakfast too.
