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.).

PhilippinesThe bathroom door latch was not working. I had to use the toilet and take a shower with an open door. The drain at the shower was clogged. I had to stomp on the drainage hole (with stran) hard and several times to get rid of the clog. It worked.
This hotel is really nearby my place of stay. I booked because of a no-wifi advisory in my condo. This hotel is superb! Staying there made me 10 years younger! Hahaha! Hip, trendy and cool. Love the colors! Comfy bed and a huge room. At the stunning roof deck is where you can have your food stuff be stored and prepared, a huge fully equipped kitchen and dining area is available there.

The staff were amazing, so helpful and kind; the best hospitality! This is our second time staying at Lyf during our Philippines trip, our stay was very comfortable with everything we could need for a stopover in Manila. Great location close to airport and shopping mall. Very spacious and comfortable room, self-service laundry, a gym and communal area. We'd highly recommend Lyf to anyone starting or ending their Philippokes trip in Manila.

FranceWe had a great time at Lyf Malate Manila! The property is very modern, with a lot of facilities and exceptionally clean. Also we felt really safe! The most important thing is the kindness and the reactivity of all the members of the personnel. They made us feel more than welcome! They really deserve congratulations for their hard work. Special credits to Mr. Perry Lozano, who was very helpful with us! If we come back to Manila we will definitely choose again this place to stay.

South AfricaI really wish they had a bar. It was disappointing that there was no real onsite bar or even mini cafe to have some food or a drink after a long day. There is a Starbucks next door but wasn't really what we were looking for. The bathroom is really small and that would be my only complaint about the room. The place is a bit far out from the best spots in town but getting taxis was easy,
I really loved how helpful the staff was and the two bedroom we stayed in was so spacious and comfy. There are also some really cool instagramable spots in the building for you to take photos. I stayed here twice in our stay so it's really great and affordable.

Staff extremely helpful. Big room and very comfortable. For those who complain about hot water just speak with the reception. Mine was not hot at all at the beginning but then they called the maintenance and in few minutes it was very hot. So very efficient staff.

Four separate rooms with either queen bed or two single beds, 8 people can comfortably fit in. Two separate bathrooms, 4 separate sinks are so comvenient. The big dining table and fully equipped kitchen enabled us to have our gathering with food and drink easily. The whole flat is clean and neat, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The roof top is a surprise bonus, we had a blast singing karaoke there. There are many food options within walking distance. Another plus point is, check out time is 12pm.

New and clean hotel with excellent decor. Concept of shared living is interesting to a point e.g kitchen, rooftop, ironing, laundry etc. Daytime location is minutes walking distance from Robinsons mall. Friendly staff especially Mr Tarrayo who was helpful and gave good advice. It has Has a nice gym.

BulgariaWhen I arrived the water heater was turned off, so there was no hot water. The AC however was set to 16 degrees, and the room was actually that cold. It was freezing in there. There was a dog sniffing my luggage prior to check-in. You also don't check-out immediately. They also check-up on you if you've left the DND sign on the door.
The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space. Everything was clean and tidy and the weird layout with all those pipes sticking out is actually extremely comfortable.
