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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Polanda bit in between of the main roads so taxi remains the easiest mode of transport in/out.
nice, clean hotel in a lovely neighborhood with a few really good cafes. At night the Joo Chiat road outside turns into a bit of karaoke bars avenue, but they all shut around midnight and there's no noise anyway

United KingdomTaylor swift pricing 😏 It's a distance from the mrt, 20 minutes walk but the #33 stops by the hotel... Or a few minutes walk from joo chiat complex.
Ok. For the price (let's ignore the entire city being over priced during Taylor swift) the hotel is decent,. The staff in this branch are fantastic so this is my go to hotel. The rooms are always clean and tidy, with housekeeping on site to clean the room throughout the day (I leave the room at 10 am for breakfast and it's clean on return, and often cleaned in the afternoon too - I've had a shower at lunch and the towels were replaced on return) The staff are friendly. Can ask reception for coffee. Kettles in room, tooth brushes supplied.

A decent quality hotel for a good price not far from Singapore Airport. I checked in pretty late so the 24 hour reception was very useful. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed.

AustraliaSo I just stayed for a one night layover because it was cheap and I like the area. I had seen reviews prior to booking and knew what to expect. However, if you are considering this hotel for longer than a one night layover, please book elsewhere, there are plenty of more comfortable and clean, modern hotels in the joo chiat area. There is significant mould on the room which is concerning for health reasons. The air con filters seem to need a change badly too, they look like they haven’t been changed in a long time. The shower is a Japanese small bathroom style which if you have not been to Japan, will throw some people. There are no wall plugs near the bed. This is more a motel style room. Suitable only for a quick one night layover in a great location with great staff
I was very impressed with front desk staff, who had organised early check in for me despite my plane being delayed on the tarmac and me having no SIM card to contact them which lead to Me arriving later than expected. Such friendliness and kindness was shown to me with suggestions for local food and coffee. I truly commend the service.
