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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaWe had the most amazing experience at this homestay. Dzung and his wife Dep treated us like we were family from the moment we arrived to the moment we left and made us and our children feel very special. They are truly the friendliest, most beautiful people and we were so grateful for their hospitality during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and the location was fantastic - easy to get to all the main attractions and some great local restaurants, walking or via grab/taxi. Waking up with the view of the limestone peaks was incredible, it really felt like we were in a different world, and that we were able to experience local life. The breakfast was also so good - amazing banana pancakes and fresh fruit with delicious local honey. And the coffee!! Thank you for hosting us - we had the best time.

United StatesEverything was great
We loved out stay at Limestone View. Everything was exceptional - I can’t imagine coming back to Limestone and not staying with Dzung, Dep and their family. The rooms are spotless clean, the beds were large and comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. The location is great, as you are cycling distance from all of the attractions, but in a nice quite area central to each. For a place so surrounded by nature, we never had any bugs in the room at all — it was so clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great, they did laundry for us, made us various coffees to try in the morning, plus plus plus plus! Just book a stay here if you are looking at options.

SpainWe loved everything.
Dzung and his wife have been the best hosts we could have had. They had a great sense of contact, humour and thought of everything to make us feel at home. This is the best homestay we’ve ever done, and the best accommodation in Vietnam. The views of the room were simply stunning and the breakfast was delicious. We’d be very happy to come back again. Thank you :)

Located in the middle of limestone karsts. The pool on the rooftop was excellent. The best boat rides are from Trang an boat station only 2km away. We walked. It was really pretty. Limestone honestly has bikes available. We used them a lot - 2km to mua caves through rice paddies or villages. 6km to tam coc. Breakfast was excellent. The owner will help you with activities and transport.

Went out of his way to ensure we had the best time possible. Organised our transport to Hanoi. Breakfast was delicious with pancakes and fresh fruit and fresh juice. Swimming pool was a godsend as the temperatures got up to 38 degrees .

ItalyThis is the second time I come to the Limestone View Homestay. Dung and his wife have a contagious enthusiasm that attracted me back after 7 years. The rooms are very large and comfortable; the view is great and you are bike distance from all the attractions of the area. There is a nice swimming pool, very refreshing after a hot day of tourism. Wonderful breakfast. Highly recommended !

United KingdomThe property is on a T junction so there's a bit of tooting of horns outside.
Dzung and his wife were so charming and hospitable. Dzung gave us so much information about the local area, including restaurant recommendations, boat trips and other activities. Unfortunately the weather was bad, but we went to the Bai Dihn temple complex (very impressive) and on a boat trip from Trang An. Our tour guide book said this was less commercial than Tam Coc. It was a beautiful experience. But most amazing was Dzung and his beautiful home. He very kindly upgraded us and we had two double beds. The rooms, which he's gradually fitting out himself, are beautiful marble. As you can see from the photos on this site you're right in amongst the limestone peaks. Dzung is very funny too! Lovely breakfasts!
