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 reviewThis is an actual excellent stay. You get a lot of hotels rated 10/10 and still not meeting the excellent standards. We loved everything about our stay at Residence Bassac. We stayed in the duplex room which was gorgeous and super comfortable. The downstairs had a nice desk, sofa, and toilet. Upstairs was great with very comfortable bed and really nice high quality bedding with access to nice balcony. Huge thanks to the cleaning staff who were remarkable! We don’t know your names but we are very grateful for your care and attention during our stay. THANK YOU! Also, the restaurant and front desk staff were super helpful and friendly. Overall, we had a memorable stay and loved every second of it.

Verified reviewThe rooms are gorgeous and very well appointed, surrounding a lovely courtyard garden. The restaurant/ lounge area is very nice. They also have a dining/lounge area on the riverside, perfect for watching the sunrise. Staff were all exceptionally nice and helpful. The robes and slippers felt luxurious. Everything was in good taste. The included breakfast was pretty good, particularly the Laotian noodle soup. Mineral water was provided.
The fruit selection for breakfast was surprisingly meagre (mango/watermelon) considering that one could see other fruit growing all around. And there was no fruit juice included. The mineral water provided came from Laos, which is great, but came in tiny plastic bottles, which seems like an awful lot of plastic. The shower did not drain properly, soaking up the bath mats and encouraging biting insects.
Dear Erika, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience at Résidence Bassac. We are delighted that you enjoyed the ambiance, the design of the rooms, and our different dining areas, including the riverside lounge—watching the sunrise there is indeed a special moment! Our team truly appreciates your kind words about their hospitality. We also appreciate your constructive feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve, and your comments about the breakfast fruit selection and the use of plastic bottles are well noted. We are continuously working on reducing our environmental impact, and we will look into more sustainable solutions for bottled water. Regarding the shower drainage, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will address this issue immediately to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests. As for the pool—we hear you! It’s something we are considering, and we hope to have updates in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable stay in Champasak.

The menu is overly ambitious in an area where ingredients are not plentiful/ available for European fare. It is blazing hot and after a day of touring to have a pool would be nice rather than holing up inside to cool down.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our staff and the compliments on our breakfast! We take pride in providing excellent service and are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the menu and the availability of ingredients in our region. We strive to offer a diverse culinary experience, but we understand that sourcing certain ingredients for European dishes can be challenging in this area. We’ll continue working to improve this aspect. As for the heat, we completely understand how refreshing a pool would be after a day of exploring. While we don’t currently have a pool, we are always looking for ways to enhance our guests’ experience, and it’s something we may consider adding in the future.

Verified reviewReally comfortable place, most comfortable place I stayed at during 3 weeks in Laos, and it has a lot of charm.
--The garden could have been so much more idyllic (Champasak is, after all, essentially a village), but there is a surprisingly busy road close behind the property, meaning that there is a fair bit of traffic noise in the garden. --The hotel advertises all sorts of interesting tours and experiences on its website, but the staff there doesn't really know anything about them (and there's no promotional material in reception). When I showed staff the website, I was then quoted an exorbitant price. This kind of soured my experience. --I think the glory days of the restaurant are in the past. They can do some dishes well, but there are much better (especially if you want Lao food) and much cheaper options available elsewhere.
Dear Isaac, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at our hotel, Résidence Bassac. We're delighted to hear you found our place comfortable and charming during your 3-week stay in Laos. We were surprised to read your comments about the traffic noise, as Champasak is a small, typically quiet village. This is the first time we've received such feedback, and we're truly sorry if there was unusually heavy traffic during your stay. It's possible there were temporary disruptions that we were not aware of, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regarding the tours and experiences advertised on our website, we appreciate your feedback and understand the confusion and disappointment you encountered. Laos is not a high-volume tourism country, and as such, all our activities are tailored to provide a unique, customized experience. This bespoke approach requires more preparation time, especially for organizing minivans, guides, and other logistics. Currently, our team in Champasak coordinates closely with our main office in Vientiane to arrange these activities, as our local staff are not yet equipped to manage travel services directly post-COVID. Rebuilding our comprehensive travel services takes time, and we're committed to improving these processes. For future visits, we advise booking such experiences in advance to allow us the necessary time to create the perfect itinerary for you. As for your dining experience, we're concerned to hear it did not meet your expectations. Our restaurant prides itself on maintaining international standards for quality, hygiene, and food safety, distinguishing us from more casual, roadside options. While it's true these alternatives might be cheaper, they do not offer the same level of assurance in terms of quality and safety. We're keen to understand more about your specific concerns, so we invite you to provide further feedback via email. This will help us address any shortcomings and enhance our offerings. We're dedicated to providing an exceptional experience to all our guests and take all feedback seriously. It's through your insights that we can continue to improve and deliver the high standards our guests expect. Thank you for choosing Résidence Bassac, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future under more satisfactory circumstances. Warm regards, Résidence Bassac Management
