How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Verified reviewThe location was good. Safe area, particularly for solo travelers. Some food available near by when it's late at night.
Only thing is that the staff is very particular, and they do not have a toilet you can use after check out (e.g. if you leave your luggage behind and return to pick it up, you won't be allowed to use the washroom).

Verified reviewLocation very good, near to Mongkok station, especially travelling from airport can straight sit A21 to Mongkok bus stop. staff very friendly and kind, environment is very relaxing. Don’t forget ichiran ramen is just a few blocks beside.
No bidet, so for tourist coming from South East Asia, this can be a slight minus. But aside that, everything is near to perfect!

Verified reviewUK plug socket’s available, friendly and helpful staff. Location is good, far enough from the main tourist areas meaning it’s quieter and a more reasonable price. It is also in walking distance to the train station which is easier to use than the London Underground. The laundry service is not in house but the staff will arrange a quick turnaround for you. Room was nicely laid out and well decorated with 2 of the walls being glass allowing fantastic views. Bathroom was clean and had a washing line in the shower if you needed to hand wash anything.
They only accept credit for the 500hkd deposit, which I didn’t see when I was booking it. The room does have working AC but as soon as you turn it off the room got hot very quickly. The mattress was very hard, I know this is personal preference but this led to me having a lot of pain later in the day.

Verified reviewOne of the best showerheads ever.
They don’t know what a coffee creamer is when we asked for some during our 2nd day stay. 🤣 Maybe it was just language barrier or maybe they call it something else haha anyway, no issues. Still 10/10 overall.
