How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNear the Mekong River and temples.
We wanted a room with a view of the Mekong River and with that intention we picked a room with a wrap around porch. The only view we had was of other buildings in the hotel complex. Additionally it took us a day to figure out the hot tub faucet was reversed, the cold water was hot and the hot water cold.
Dear Byron, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet your expectations. Your feedback regarding the view and the hot tub faucet is very valuable to us, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we will make sure to address these concerns to enhance our guests' experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Mekong Riverview Hotel.

Verified reviewThe room was absolutely filthy; there were cobwebs, ants, dirt everywhere, and grossest of all- giant COCKROACHES in the bathroom! The staff were consistently very rude and unwelcoming. No one helped us with our bags. Terrible value for money; please stay elsewhere
Dear Georgia, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that your stay did not meet expectations. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we take all comments seriously to ensure improvements are made. Regarding assistance with luggage, we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Verified reviewThen staff were unhelpful. We asked for milk for our coffee / tea and we’re told they could not arrange this even though the hotel has a restaurant !!! Their is no outdoor space to walk or sit to relax. The hotel is right beside many n road very noisy.
Dear Julie Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience during your stay. Regarding the milk request, we regret the miscommunication. While it’s not provided in rooms by default, we’re always happy to offer it upon request. Our reception team, with over ten years of experience (except the night audit), is aware of this service and would have been happy to assist had it been mentioned during your stay. We understand your concerns about outdoor space and city noise. While we are near the main road, it is a quieter one-way street compared to hotels in the city. We strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for all our guests. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate your visit. We hope to welcome you again in the future Best regards, Mekong Riverview Hotel

Verified reviewThe location, the bed that you can incline for feet or for the head The balcony of the room, I loved it, ask room 26 The vintage EV for complimentary rides in the town was a plus

Verified reviewThis is a lovely hotel with delightful old style rooms and very helpful friendly staff, with a breakfast cafe in an unbelievably wonderful location.
The noise. The hotel is supposed to be in a tranquil location at the end of the peninsula. But sadly, Luang Prabang is over run with Chinese tourists. The dreadful, extremely loud karaoke boats on the Mekong mean that you are tortured by tone deaf warbling wannabe singers all afternoon and evening, and the plethora of minivans means that they keep parking outside the hotel with their engines running, waiting to pick up all these tourists. So it is impossible to relax on the balcony of your room and enjoy the peace and serenity. That has all gone now. It's very sad, and not the hotel's fault (although I think they could do something about the vans parking outside).
Sabaidee, Christopher Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our lovely hotel, old-style rooms, and our friendly and helpful staff. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the breakfast at our café, set in such a picturesque location. We deeply regret that the noise from the karaoke boats and the minivans impacted your stay. While we strive to provide a tranquil and serene environment, we understand how these external factors can be disruptive. Please know that we are actively working on solutions, including coordinating with local authorities to address the issues with the minivans. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to improve the experience for all our guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Mekong Riverview Hotel

Verified reviewThe location is superb; the staff are very friendly.
The property has probably seen better days; the woodwork needs a good overhaul. The room rate was overpriced for what you get; no special activities or even a welcome drink. You would expect a greater choice of food at breakfast.

Verified reviewGreat location, balcony had good river view, although there is a road in front of the hotel and there is some sort of construction work on the river bank so not particularly quiet or relaxing The viewpoint cafe, where breakfast is taken, has a nice view
The property is old and in desperate need of updating. The bathroom looks like it hasn’t been touched since the 80s and all the fixtures and fittings are old/worn/showing their age
