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 family running it are absolutely lovely and made us feel very welcome. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with good air conditioning to keep cool. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and we really appreciated the free water provided during our stay.
The only downside was being woken early by the neighbours’ roosters, which often wandered close to our room and crowed throughout the day. Even with earplugs it was a bit hard to sleep in. Otherwise, everything else was lovely and the hosts were wonderful.

Verified reviewI loved how friendly the host was, if we needed anything she was so so helpful! Also, it was a quiet location so close to the beach and main area but far enough away from noise! Yes there are cockerels in the morning but we quite liked that! Would recommend this for travellers on a budget!
I liked everything! It may be an added touch to get a kettle in the room. But it was still nice to have the hot water tap at reception!

Verified reviewA clean room with everything a solo traveller (or pair) could want when coming to pantai cenang. Shu was very welcoming and made sure everything was as it should be. The price was excellent for three nights and it was nice and spacious. A 5/7 minute walk and you're on the beach. Great stuff.
The motel is slightly away from a main road which made it a bit tricky to find with Grab. Not a problem and nothing that should put you off, just worth mentioning.

Verified reviewThe hotel itself is clean and budget-friendly, with the basic facilities you’d expect at this price.
However, the location may not suit everyone. It’s situated in a quiet area with very few houses nearby, and I didn’t notice any other hotels around. At night, especially if you’re walking alone, the surroundings can feel a bit eerie or isolated. Reception isn’t available 24/7, and even during the day, you’ll need to message via WhatsApp in advance for assistance.

Verified reviewLocation 5 min walk to main street. Airco worked well.
Unfriendly personnel, no greetings, most of time no one at reception. Does not feel as a welcoming place for guests. Room was not clean, e.g. wash basin full of hairs. Dirty and stained bed linen. Our expectation was a basic, clean motel for this price, but experience we got was below par. Note: construction work ongoing, which makes the location less convenient to reach by Grab.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our reception operates on an on-call basis, and we kindly ask guests to ring the bell for assistance. We understand that this may not have been clearly communicated during your stay, and we’ll make sure to improve our signage and instructions going forward. We also sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered. This is not the standard we strive for, and we have addressed your comments with our housekeeping team to ensure improvements are made immediately. Regarding the ongoing construction nearby, unfortunately, this is outside of our control, but we understand the inconvenience it may have caused. Regards Shu :)
