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.).

AustraliaThe place was really nice and welcome you were well. Rooms are nice and clean too! Breakfast was very good, I had a pho EVERYDAY. But to me the best was the staff and their services, they were great, helping and made my short stay easier and better for sure! I can’t thank enough Lana for her advises too. I won’t come back to Vietnam without coming back to the same hotel, and will probably ask them for booking other activities

AustraliaThe fridge didn’t quite work, couldn’t keep consumables cold. The bathroom needed a bit more of a thorough clean.
The location was central to where we wanted to be, walking distance to all the Old Quarter tourist spots. The bed was comfortable. The bathtub was amazing. Just don’t have a bath during a heavy rain storm! You’ll flood the bathroom. The staff were all wonderful, extremely helpful and friendly people.

Good location, comfortable hotel and amazing staff. The manager Lana was always very accessible and responsive via Whatsapp and helped us plan our trip. Lana and the other hotel staff takes customer service at heart and treat you as a valuable guest. Good variety at breakfast which starts as from 6.30am, so very practical when leaving for early morning tours. You cannot go wrong with this boutique hotel with personalised service.

ThailandThere is not one thing about this hotel that I can cast a shadow on....it is simply perfect. I do think the staff ....ALL STAFF including housekeeping deserve a raise in salary....THEY ALL DESERVE IT.
You ask what we liked about this oasis amid outdoor chaos. This is a sanctuary where we felt comfortable, well cared for and our requests were not only met with consideration but the manager went over and above our request.to satisfy our need. This place is a diamond in the midst of all boutique hotels in the area. The breakfast was varied but it was also delicious and we could feel "love" being an important ingredient to their dishes. I would recommend this hotel to all and sundry and I WILL RECOMMEND IT...that is for certain.

SingaporeThe room is a little dated and the room we were in had incredibly low ceilings. Toilet could have been more well stocked and cleaner as well - the drainage had a sewage smell
Location was great, we were given a free upgrade due to the availability of a larger room. But the shining star was truly the staff who were energetic and excellent and went out of their way to allow us to have a great stay - with welcome drinks and fruit, a delicious buffet breakfast spread, and when asked for a space to change before our sleeper bus we were allowed to use an empty room to change and shower in.

IrelandProbably the best staff I have ever come across in a hotel, so welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, it really helped me settle in. Breakfast options were delicious, so many tasty traditional Vietnamese options. I would absolutely stay here again on any future visits to Hanoi and would highly recommend it for others. Again thank you to all the ladies at reception, you are brilliant :)

CanadaStaff does not respect do not disturb signs : mine was up and I was texted to ask if I wanted my room cleaned to which I clearly said no. The cleaning lady came in anyway (not the end of the world) and threw away things that she decided was trash, including my contraception (end of the world)! I really think this was overstepping and this put me in a very uncomfortable position (who the heck comes in and decides things that aren't in the trash are trash???). Staff was very apologetic about it, but lacked solutions (I was the one to ask and see if I could go through the trash and no one really helped me... I had to ask for gloves and was pretty much left to digging through disgusting trash alone). We came to an ok compromise in the end, but I was still stuck with the problem of a month of contraception being thrown out when travelling for a prolonged amount of time. The spa is just a small room adjacent to the lobby with sliding glass doors and curtains - kind of awkward when you have to get naked for treatments and people go through the door. I had reserved 3 treatments and again communication was deficient and only 2 had been booked.
I got a free upgrade when I arrived, which I appreciated. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good. Staff speaks poor English so I had a few problems because of that (see negative).
