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.).

IndiaThe hotel is located in Central Almaty and is close to the iconic Kok Tobe. Restaurants like Noodles and Navat are very closely. Yandex Taxis were able to reach with ease. The best part was most staff spoke English. Not very expensive too. Lavish breakfast buffet was the best part about this hotel.

United Arab EmiratesThe hotel is centrally located with access to all main attractions of the city. If you are comfortable walking, you can cover all the main attractions like war monument, cathedral church, Independence monument in a day with eve visit to Kok robe hill. The cable car for Kok Tobe hill is 300 mts away from hotel. Also there are quite few restaurants which are available till late night or 24/7. Overall the experience is amazing.

KazakhstanBreakfast was terrible… absolutely terrible!! The food was extremely limited and very unappealing over represented with bread and pastries choices. The waiters didn’t do their jobs of cleaning away dishes or resetting tables… missing forks or spoons. They hide in corners looking at their phones, others stood in daze constantly yawning and unattractive to the room.

SwitzerlandI originally had stayed in a hotel right next to this one but had to extend my stay for 2 days. I saw that the KZ hotel was cheaper so I decided to stay here instead and this is what that got me: - ZERO wi-fi (not in the reception, not in the room). - Not the most affectious staff and the English level is not enough to help out with more detailed enquiries. - Rooms that feel and look old and musty and that have zero soundproof. - Asked in reception if the hotel had a bar to have a drink. Was explained that on the 26th floor there was a bar. Go there and an incredibly rude lady orders us that we can't have a drink there (why, she doesn't feel like it to explain it to me...just no). So all in all, if any of the above matters to you, for a few extra bucks you can choose other options in the area.
Landmark of the city of Almaty, this hotel and it's history feels like something you need to experience. While it's glory is certainly behind, it still holds a bit of cache. The breakfast is one of the best parts of the stay.

IndiaThe room was uncomfortably hot despite the -8 weather outside. Staff couldn't assist with the heat issue. The outdated air conditioning was not sufficient to cool the suite, and we had to keep two windows open in -8°C weather. The property is quite old, and the description of the queen suite was misleading as it only had one bedroom with a door and no lock, leaving the other bed in the living cum dining room without privacy. Grateful it was just a one-night stay.
The breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide variety of food options.
