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 reviewNext to the hotel are lots of eateries, restaurants and shops. Hoan Kiem lake and Dong Xuan market are within 15 minutes' walk from the hotel. The hotel staff were all very polite and helpful. They assisted us with our SIM cards and one even helped us to reason with a taxi driver who tried to overcharge us 10 times the regular fare. The rooms are reasonably clean with all basic needs met.
Except for the loud banging of room doors by the other guests and the tiny elevator, there is nothing that we dislike.

Verified reviewGood location, walking distance to everything
Would not recommend staying here. I booked the Double room and the photos are very deceiving as the room I ended up in the window (which looks surprisingly bright in images) was actually covered with an opaque film and the room was very dark without the lights on. It felt quite prison like waking up and not being able to see the sun. The WiFi also does not work at all! And the cleaner came into our room without the sign on the door, moved our belongings into drawers which were not being used and also threw away some plastic bags we had on the floor next to our wet trainers (which we were using to keep our trainers in whilst travelling to keep our other belongings dry from them). The receptionist did provide me with other plastic bags when I went down and explained the situation but it was still an inconvenience and our things should not have been thrown away. In addition the hot water for the shower does not last long and meant that only one person could have a hot shower if needing to shower at the same time before going out.
Dear Ms Charlotte, thanks for taking your time to leave a review. We value every customer feedback and always strive to improve our services. First of all, the room you booked is a Deluxe room which can be on different floors from high to low floor depending on availability. The images shown online included in the Deluxe room section have one with a bright window (because it’s on a higher floor) and one with a darker window (because it’s on a lower floor). You didn’t request beforehand so we didn’t know your preference, and you stayed for a few nights and also didn’t mention anything to our staff. If we knew, we could have helped you change the room to a higher floor. You also didn’t let our staff know that the wifi did not work because if we knew, we could have fixed it right away for you. Sometimes the wifi just needs a quick reset for it to work smoothly again, this only takes 1-2 minutes but we didn’t know the entire time you stayed so we couldn’t assist you on that matter. Secondly, we have daily cleaning so when the guests go outside, the housekeeper will come in to clean the room unless you put the “do not disrupt” sign on the door. When the housekeeper came in and cleaned your rooms, there were empty plastic bags laying on the floor so she picked them up and threw them away for you. When you talked to the staff about it, we apologized explaining that we didn’t know that you didn’t want to clean the room and gave you new plastic bags. Lastly, you had to turn on the hot water and wait for a few minutes for the water to get hot, so we are sorry for the inconvenience. We have staff 24 hours ready to help so please say something if there is any issue during your stay with us. We feel very disheartened to receive this review because we know that we could have helped to make your experience staying here much better if you told us anytime during your stay. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact us at your earliest convenience. Your opinion is always appreciated. We wish you always happy. Thank you and best regards, Hotel Management

Verified reviewLocation was great Wonderful to have a lift even tho we were on the first floor. Good size room, large shower.
Some people might find it inconvenient turning on a water heater switch 5 mins before a shower but it didn't bother us.
