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.).

United Statesbeds were a little hard
Loved the hosts, the location, the cleanliness, rooms, laundry etc. They went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed and give us a map and tour of the city. They even helped me collect packages while I was traveling so I could fly home with them. the warmth and love I felt visiting here kept us coming back!

United StatesA very nice place owned by such a lovely couple who made my four night stay very nice. There are only two rooms on each floor so the only neighbors I had were above and below. My room was large, clean, comfortable and quiet with good AC and a large fridge. And it is located in an alley a good distance away from busy streets.

IsraelWonderful guest house. I had so good experience. The couple was very welcoming, explained me the city and major places to visit, connected me with a local tour guide and eventually I had a very good experience thanks to this guest house. I sure that my trip was different if I was staying on another place.

Old school family-run guesthouse off a tiny alley in district 1. You walk straight into the owners' second living room. They look after you. Surprisingly peaceful given the location.

PolandIt has a perfect location and very nice owners. They let us checkin very early when we came by night bus from Da Lat. Maybe this is to a high-end hotel, but has everything you need for the stay. Just outside the door on the street, you can eat a delicious breakfast (find Hu Tieu Nam Vang) and have perfect coffee in Yên89. Highly recommendable!!

Italy- There is no elevator, so it might be difficult for people having walking difficulties - There was only one small hand soap, would have been great to also have some shower gel and/or shampoo in the bathroom
- Owners are super nice and friendly, ready to help and answer all the questions - Location absolutely great, very close to the main lively street (yet very quiet) and the bus stop (to go to the airport and tunnels) as well as the city center are within walking distance (10min and 20min respectively) - Room big and spacious

Conveniently located between Pham Ngu Lao and Bui Vien (party) Streets, yet tucked in Alley 217 providing for a quiet location. Room was minimal, (it's a guest house), with a small balcony, yet had everything for a comfortable stay. Great A/C accompanied by a ceiling fan. Owners are the best, as you will not find a nicer couple providing outstanding support for your time with them. I was warmly and enthusiasticly met, and then proceeded to be shown highlighted areas to visit along with an accompanied map.

Pointed us in the direction of what sights to see, and really helped us out with our sleeper bus booking when it all went wrong. 😅 The room was clean and the beds were comfortable, the nights were quiet even with being so close to the walking street. Would have stayed here longer if we had the time.

United KingdomBeds were a little firm and wet room was a bit basic but did the job.
Anh and his wife Anh are absolutely lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Anh sat us down on arrival and went through the city map with us (which was incredibly useful) and marked it with key locations we knew about but importantly told us the easiest walking route. He offered us some tour guides but even though we’d pre decided we were going to do the Cu Chi tunnels he insisted we go and shower and relax before committing to it and later he arranged it for us on request and the driver came to get us from the downstairs lounge. The laundry was cheap at 25k/kg and they didn’t rush us for payment - we had to insist on paying before the day we left as we didn’t want them to get up to meet us when we had an early start (they did anyway!) Honestly such lovely people, helpful without being intrusive, we would definitely recommend. Rooms are on a small alleyway off the main loud street of clubs but you can’t hear ANYTHING at all and this makes the place perfect, cheap cheap street food on the alleyway as well.

Fifteen years in business, very clean guesthouse rooms are minimally furnished but everything works. Stairs up a big mahogany staircase to three floors of big rooms, Third floor room quiet.

A lovely, well run hotel. The owners are delightful & couldn't have done anymore for us. We arrived later than expected in the early hours of the morning after a long journey. They said, no worry to checking now, leave it until after you have slept. A great location just off the crazy fun of Walking Street but so quiet in the accommodation.
