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 is good and the bed comfortable.
There is dead cockroaches in the room from the moment we step into the room. And they only provide drinking water for the first day. For extended stay, it is payable.

Verified reviewQuick easy check-in. Allowed early check in. No street noise.
Not as nice as photos!!! Disappointed. Decor was very tired. Walls & ceilings really need repainting etc. Stairs not clean. Room not very clean. Wall had random paper cover hole! Plug sockets not working. Not mentioned that balcony was shared with neighbouring room. Meant locking door for security & privacy. Closing door because neighbours smoking outside. No privacy. Bed not that comfortable. Noise from construction in neighbours courtyard property.

Verified reviewAircon was great!! Bed was comfy. Hosts were welcoming, did our laundry (for a small fee) and delivered it to us. Dog was cute. Big bathroom. Balcony was nice even without view. Was fairly quiet. In a good location, close to water and also silk street.
It took us a while to figure out which side street to walk down as the signage for the hotel was on the small street we couldn't find 🤣

Verified reviewI liked the location, which was very central. It is quiet, older-style accommodation, but it had everything you could want.
There was a kettle to make tea or coffee, but no cup.

Verified reviewThis place is so good that we stayed there twice and I am reviewing it twice. It is down a really quiet and peaceful alleyway right in the heart of chaotic Hanoi. An absolute haven of peace and tranquility at a very reasonable price. The family that run it are lovely and could not have been more helpful.
Nothing not to like

Verified reviewThis is a beautifully quiet and peaceful place to stay. It is tucked up a tiny little alleyway off the road so that when you get in there you get absolute tranquility. The family that own it are really pleasant. The room was spacious and clean with a balcony facing onto a small courtyard. Good hot shower was really welcome. The location is perfect as it is in the middle of the old quarter and only a few minutes from both the lake and train street. It was great value for money and I would not hesitate to stay there again.
Nothing not to like about this place.

Verified reviewThis was our second time staying as we loved it. Great value for money. Staff are lovely. Location is perfect. Very clean. They are available all night so it’s perfect if you have a night bus or similar. Highly recommend!
Just to be aware if you have accessibility requirements, there are many stairs and no elevator. The laundry was also questionable both times (bleached sock, a few stains, returned damp, and gained a few extra clothes!) but not sure if it’s done on or offsite. The hotel itself is great though

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is very centrally located, and as the name suggests, it's hidden from the road up a narrow alley. It was amazingly cheap, and we just used it as a base before our late night flight home. So we didn't sleep in the room. But it was perfect for our needs.
Don't expect anything fancy. It's basic but friendly. But for the price, what do you expect!?
