Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaLike every other hotel shower, there's not enough space for shampoo, conditioner, face wash, soap and a razor.
Everything. This is one of the best places I've ever stayed. It's brand new and everything is easy to use. The staff is absolutely awesome and will show you around the property. Special shout out to Vinah who was amazing!! The property is quiet and in a very convenient location across from a cafe called Dozo, a money exchange place, and several massage places. There is every type of food you can imagine in the basement of the mall. It's a very cheap Grab ride away from everywhere you'll need to go too. I could go on and on. Loved this place and already regret leaving!

South KoreaNo complaints,
The room are unexpectedly clean and was a 11/10. Had a great stay over the weekend with my friends. Both room booked and it's in clean condition. Toilet is superb with both equipped shower and bathtub. The designs are unique and the staff are quite accommodating and friendly. It's worth it's value for such a short stay over at Ritz. Never a disappointing stay.

PhilippinesNothing too drastic. Perhaps I am used to having a wash basin around the toilet but it was at the opposite end of the room near the shower, and there were no towel rests in the bathroom so it got a bit complicated positioning the towel but all in all, it’s not something that would lose a star over.
The Loft was located at the Imago Shopping Mall which had everything I needed when I looked for sunblock and insect repellents for my tours. The staff were super friendly. I checked in extra late (My flight arrived at 1:20 AM) but they waited for me so that I could check in. I asked for recommendations for massages and they continuously helped me through WhatsApp. The place was very nice, my only regret is that I packed my schedule too much that I didn’t get to sleep in longer! It’s a vacation on itself just to stay there. As for late night food or snacks, a restaurant which was located at the front of the Loft was open 24/7 so getting hungry at night was not a problem. The room looked exactly like the photos here.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is that the pools are for all the residents of the apartment block and there are no sunbeds to lounge on.
Wow, where to start. This place was fabulous! The room was so luxurious, it was beautifully decorated and gorgeously furnished. The bed was quite possibly the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The bathroom was stunning with a small bath and a rain shower. Further, this has all the mod-cons you can hope for. Dyson hair dryer, a power bank to take out whilst exploring, USB charging ports on each socket, digital mirrors, electric blinds, and that’s just some of what’s available! The designers and planners have thought of everything; they provide two litre water bottles in the rooms and even have Biscoff biscuits in the tea/coffee set! The staff were helpful and quickly checked me in. I asked for a pool towel and they gave me two for my comfort. The communication from management and staff was excellent, providing precise details on where to get a taxi to and where to go on arrival to get to the apartment.

BruneiDuring the day, it can get a bit noisey with the aeroplace and traffic. The walls are thin, and you can hear the people next door, especially if they are with roudy kids that sleep late into the night. There are many steps into the room - perhaps not best for people with wheelchair / with elderly requiring stepping in and out of room / toilet.
Staff, Location, Cleanliness, Comfort - Excellent. The staff were accommodating and responded very fast. The place was in the same building as Imago, however, you use a different lift to enter. Not a big deal because it is very near and convinient. Cleanliness of the space was very good. Everything is new and clean. Comfort - Bed was squeeky but comfortable. Food - Lots of restaurants within Imago, but the building next door also offer budget local food.

MalaysiaI booked this hotel for a short staycation and was pleasantly surprised by the quality that exceeded my expectations. Although I wasn’t anticipating a five-star hotel experience, the room’s elegance and comfort paralleled those of 4 or 5-star hotels I’ve visited during my travels. This clearly shows the owner’s commitment to providing an exceptional experience for their guests. The hotel’s location is a significant advantage, situated right in the heart of the city, making it an ideal choice for foreigners. The convenience of having a shopping mall on the ground floor and a food night market in close proximity enhanced my stay, allowing for easy exploration of the city’s offerings. I am grateful for the amazing experience provided by this hotel, even if it was just for a staycation. Thank you for the exceptional hospitality

Lovely property! Really comfortable beds and great amenities in the room. The decor is lovely. Nice big bath tub and shower. Two pools, a gym and a massive open space with benches and hammocks to enjoy. Very clean. Love the fridge which has free soft drinks and water for guests. Everything you need is available. The staff are really friendly and helpful and are always available by WhatsApp. Perfect location too in the Imago mall where there are tons of nice restaurants and lots of shops. Quiet and peaceful once inside. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Kota Kinabalu and this is by far the best!

United States of AmericaWalking to the downtown area was a little bit sketchy but still navigable. Most people just get a grab car which are really inexpensive. Also the entrance to the property was a little confusing and not very attractive but the room was top notch.
Very clean and new. Comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. Convenient access to the Imago Mall where you can get anything you want or need. Staff was very helpful. You can get many different types of food from fast food to good quality restaurants of numerous cuisines in the Mall and the KK Times Square area across the street.
