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.).

United KingdomWe didn’t realise that the family also provide a good service (extra charge) and we felt at times guilty for not buying meals from them.
It was spacious and very clean. There was a rooftop terrace, which was really nice in the evening where we enjoyed delicious cocktails made by the son who had watched YouTube videos to understand how to do it. The family were very welcoming and met us at the harbour. We didn’t realise this at the time and so were slightly confused. To hire bikes you should be charged just 150k per day, so be sure to check this on arrival. The family also organised snorkelling for us - we travelled across in a coconut boat to the snorkel site which was great. The family were always on hand.

GermanyThe family is extremely nice. You go here not to be a tourist, but to be part of the family. You feel at home and very welcome. It has been an amazing experience, to live like locals, to experience their culture. Something very much different and absolutely recommended to anybody who travels to discover different cultures and populations. The family also offers snorkeling activities and tours of the island by motorbikes: both absolutely recommended!

FinlandTo think that the place is on an island with many nice sand beaches and you would expect that sand would come in any time. There was no place where we could rinse off the sand before coming inside the house which made all the sand come all the way inside to the bedroom and bathroom. The madrases in the beds was very thin and hard so they were bad for our backs. There was AC in the room but it did not work properly so the room was still quite hot.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were very welcoming and tried their best to make our stay as memorable as possible. We really enjoyed it and the kids loved all the monkeys that came to the house. The food the house owner made was delicious and they made according to our wishes which the kids loved. If you wish to experience how to live in a Vietnamese home, this was a great experience.

AustraliaThe beds are rather hard which is ok when you are young but as a 40+ I felt it.
This cute home stay is a gem. The family running it is so accommodating and caring. They organised bikes to rent, cooked beautiful homemade food fish freshly caught by the man. Great value for money. So beautiful to sit on the roof top for dinner overlooking the ocean. The owners English is very limited but we got by. Great aircon.

AustraliaThe family were incredibly welcoming even from before I arrived on the island. I was collected at the port on arrival and taken to a wonderful home. I ended up staying an extra night and by the end I truly felt like one of the family. I feel certain that I will be returning back to this place again Special mention to the food that was offered, cooked from the heart and amazing to share with fellow travellers.

PolandAmazing Homestay which we highly recommend. The atmospere and the food prepared by the family are unforgetable. Before our stay we asked for help with organizing the transfer from Cua Dai and renting motorbikes. They booked the speedboat tickets for us as and then when we arrived to the island, we were picked up from the port with the rented motorbikes prepared for us. The host also organized a snorkeling trip for the guests, it was really nice. Thank you so much for the fantastic stay!

SingaporeMake sure you wait for the family to pick you up with their scooters. We did not know but you can rent a scooter from them with much better quality. We rented one from the people along the quay with far less quality...
We did not know what to expect when we would arrive Cham Island. When we found Mr Lau and his son they took us to their lovely homestay. Mrs Thu and Mr Lau prepared us a nice lunch and afterward we went snorkeling and a boat trip with their son Trung. After the boat trip we explored the island on a scooter and trung showed us the nicest spots. In the evening we cleaned and prepared the sea urchins we caught during our boat trip. The dinner was served at their roof top. In the morning we got a nice breakfast. The family took good care for our children and ourselves. Big recommendation if you like to stay in a simple homestay but with great hospitality!

SwedenWow !! I don’t really know where to begin. Me and my girlfriend had the best time of our lives the four nights we stayed at this homestay. Food here is amazing, one of if not the best food in Vietnam. We ate at really expensive restaurants in Hanoi that wasn’t nearly as good as the food at this home stay !! the family is very helpful with everything and very friendly. But what really made the visit a real blessing for us was their son, Quoc, who took us out fishing, snorkeling, trecking, and knew absolutely EVERYTHING about the island. He was without a doubt the best guy we met during our whole trip to Vietnam (3 weeks) , we visited many places and did lots of stuff but we always missed the island and Quoc. We will come back to this place, I don’t care how long it will take us to save up the money for it but we will. Quoc is Cham islands, he truly is the soul of this island and to spend time with him and to experience all the things we did on Cham islands was truly a profound experience that I will never forget…!!!!!

United KingdomThe homestay is located in a fishing village, about 15 minutes from the main town. It is right on the beach and only a short drive from other even more secluded beaches. You can rent bikes from the main town, but the owners will drive you anywhere that you ask. Lau and Thu’s son, took us on a private snorkelling trip on his boat and a tour of the whole island on his bike. The food was a mixture of fresh seafood, fried rice and vegetables and was some of the best food I had in Vietnam. The owners as you can probably tell were amazing and even though they spoke very little english, always made sure we had everything we needed.
