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 reviewThe location was great, access to laundry was helpful, staff were friendly and helpful, and I liked that there was a shared kitchen. We got to meet other travellers while still being able to retreat to our private space.
While the bathroom was private, it was down the hallway from the room. The bathroom and hallways also weren’t air conditioned.

Verified reviewI loved the neighborhood, with awesome cafes and some nice little places to eat. The house is nice, and overall I enjoyed my stay here, and I would go back again.
The place is a little worn down from years of use, the bed lamps were broken, the lighting was not that good, and my window looked out onto a firewall where someone's air conditioning was running all night. I felt that the Botanical theme is such a good one, and there could have been more plants in the common space, or plant-themed decoration in the rooms. It's a small thing however it would add a lot to the overall experience.

Verified reviewThe staff are exceptional. They are extremely responsive on Zalo and super helpful when helping me to receive some deliveries during my stay. I also like the location tucked away in a peaceful neighbourhood, yet only a few mins away from the city center.
The hygiene can be better. For instance, the courtyard where the dryer and washer are could be more clean.

Verified reviewIt is very cosy and convenient place. Has its own vibe, not ordinary hotel, but like actual HOME. Everything is on its place, all small necessities “you dont think about till its gone” prepared, like detergent powder, or iron, or speaker. Located in very comfy area with majority of coffee places. And most important-staff. They helped and navigated me so much! Even with questions they absolutely didn’t have to. I am so glad I choose this place🩵

Verified reviewI like the atmosphere of the place, and the security. Communication with the staff was generally very good. The arrangement of the room and its closeness to the bathroom was very convenient. The location was also very good, close to a lot of interesting coffee houses and restaurants, and the river.
The room was clean and it had a large window that allowed some natural light in through a kind of large skylight or opening in the building. This was nice, but I personally prefer rooms with some kind of view onto the landscape of the city or the surroundings. It's a somewhat minor thing, and I might very well stay there again, or see if they have any rooms with outward facing windows.

It was a bit confusing when we arrived as there is no reception or staff around, we hadn't realised it wasn't a hotel. but the communication through whatsapp was sufficient to get us checked in. Otherwise very good.

Verified reviewVery nice room, cool aesthetics, comfortable floor mattress, convenient kitchen/plenty of supplies, very responsive staff
It's a bit hard to find, and all the gates in the neighborhood close early at night. The only way in is through a little side gate on the opposite side of the neighborhood, which was a pain to locate after a long day. Also, the balcony was small and dirty.
