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):
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 small grip for me is the overpowering scent waiffing throughout the reception area. It's a signature for most hotels to do this, and it's always hit-and-miss.
Well-appointed, clean, tidy accomodation. The only downside is a lack of natural light to an otherwise spacious room. Daily housekeeping. 24/7 staff on reception. Breakfast on the top floor consists of eggs your way, pho ga, or a buffet selection of deli-sttle assortments. The customer service personnel (Linh, Sophia) were lovely, sending a WhatsApp before arrival to ask whether any side trips (to Sapa, Ninh Bin, etc) or airport transfers are to be arranged beforehand. All the staff are very sweet. Great location within the Old Quarter. The Aurora Hotels also have an additional two locations, the OG "Premier" location being close to the Lake Hoàn Kiếm, where the rooftop Starlight bar is where you receive a complimentary beer voucher for your stay.

AustraliaClean, comfortable, amazing service, excellent breakfast... The place was an absolute dream to stay in! They even did an amazing bed get up for our anniversary celebrations! The staff were very helpful in booking a taxi to the airport and answered any questions we had! The room was amazing with so much space and all the facilities we needed for our stay! If you are after maximum comfort away from the hustle and bustle of the street below this is the place for you! Thank you to the team at Aurora for a wonderful stay!

IrelandLiterally nothing. Just to note there's no pool/gym but we really didn't miss that.
The stand out about this hotel was the staff. We had come from a 5 star hotel previously where we left there was no atmosphere or personal touch. We enjoyed Aurora so much more. The welcome you receive and how comfortable you feel at all times is priceless. The room itself is so clean, comfortable beds, quiet air con, gorgeous decor, nice showers , huge TV with netflix, etc. The breakfast was delicious, and eggs were made to order. The hotel is like a boutique hotel. It's intimate and smaller than huge chain hotels. We loved the location it was so easy to go to the markets and main attractions, had a gym nearby, laundry services nearby, markets and restaurants and coffee shops. The hotel gave us Umbrellas every time we went out which was such a nice touch. The best part of all, was on the day of our check out we weren't leaving till 7pm, so we went sight seeing for the day and came back and the staff let us shower and change before we took the over night train. Amazing service!! We really loved this place.

The hotel is super clean and tastefully designed. Breakfast was amazing with a wide spread! Most importantly, the service of the staff was phenomenal and one of the best. Special thanks to Sophia/Sofia, Lily, Huy and Dawson. We needed a room for a few hours to wash up after coming back from Ha Long Bay and before we take the sleeper train to Sapa but they were fully booked. However, they offered us to use their spa room with a showering facility! Communication between the team members was commendable. Truly appreciate the team at Aurora! 10/10 will recommend others to stay here :)

NetherlandsThe staff, size of the room, it was clean. I also could order vegetarian food. The location is very busy but close to the nightmarket. Even the AC was not working well, we could take another room but we didnt. And we were able to check out late because of that. So I will stay here again for sure.

Supremely friendly and hospitable staff - from the start you are welcomed with tea and light snacks. Gorgeous room and bathroom! Breakfast was nice with a wide variety and made to order items. Location was perfect for us. I liked being in the north part of Old Quarter. I really can't recommend the property enough and certainly would look here first if returning to Hanoi. Thank you everyone, especially Sophia and Junior, but really everyone from bellmen to breakfast staff for a wonderful stay. I feel this is an excellent value!

CambodiaWe stayed 1 week in Hanoi at the Old Quarter area. Luckily the last two nights of our trip, finally we found the hotel with a large room and the bed very comfy with acceptable prices. The room is large compared to the other hotels we stayed in the same area in Hanoi.The location is good which is very comfortable. I had should find this hotel earlier. The room disigh is very cosy. The receptionist very kind and helpful also take care of everything you need. Thank for provided us checking in early. During our trip in Vietnam we had tried soup Pho in a fews places and the soup at the hotel breakfast was 10 out of 10. We're going to miss the taste. Highly recommend Aurora Central hotel when you're planning to visit Hanoi.

AustraliaFamily Suite was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Good value for money. Excellent location in the Old Quarter, surrounded by many cafes and restaurants. Very close/short walk to market and night market (weekends). Friendly and helpful staff especially Lily, Sophia and Junior. They were amazing and gave us a late check out, which was greatly appreciated. I appreciate all the coffee advice given to me by Sophia (where to buy, best coffee to take home)! Lily was super friendly and accommodating at breakfast. THANK YOU! Communication with the hotel was extremely efficient and fast. We highly recommend this hotel!
