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 dorm is in the center, near Bui Vien Street, it's good if you like drinking and party, but it's too noisy for me, hard to sleep.
The toilet is dirty, the bed creaks when the man from upper bed moves, it makes me wake up many times during night.

Verified reviewClean beds, toilet was very comfortable and noise levels were low despite the location.

Verified reviewThis is an outstanding hostel with GREAT staff. Very easygoing vibes, a host that goes lengths to help out, share recommendations and makes sure you’re doing OK!
It’s going to be a little tinier than you can imagine but if you’re staying only a few nights, it’s going to be a vibe anyway :)

Verified reviewThe Location is just awesome. Bus Stop, Party Place, CIRCLE K all within 50 meters. The host is really helpful and delivers exactly the crucial information. The basic kitchen setup saves money and get us things we really wanna eat. Very useful.
Just the place is not very big, but that's obvious... Otherwise will be huge expensive in its location...

Verified reviewThe Hostel was situated in the prime location of bu vien, the hotspot, the party spot you name it. It was easy to roam around to find food and of course bars to have a few beers and kick back, "Circle K" kind of like 7/11 is like 5 meters away from the hostel if you need essentials quickly. Even though, its a party spot at night time the rooms are quiet surprisingly how close it is to the clubs\bars and the noise level.
Have not found anything i don't like as yet, the hostel is quiet new, so everything is still fresh and new.
Thank you Michael, Pleasure having you mate !

Verified reviewHad a short visit to HCMC and found this little hidden gem. Cosy, little hostel that is great to stay short term. Food, drinks and entertainment are literally seconds away from the hostel so that was super convenient. Wasn't too noisy too.
Thank you for your kind words Miss Phuong Linh ! 😊

Verified reviewAmazing Location - amazing friendly staff - anything you need they’re there to help you! I met the two owners Dave and James in January my first day in Vietnam 🇻🇳 they told me they would be starting their own hostel! Their hospitality was just amazing, they cooked me a dinner my second night we stayed together. I felt like I was at home. I promised them when I came back to HCMC I would stay at their new hostel and give them my support! 6 months later here I am writing a review! If you’re looking for a fun friendly staff who can help you find anything you need, stay here! I wouldn’t say it’s a party hostel but the vibes are amazing and with Bui Vien walking street just 1 minute away you can’t beat the location!
Sometimes guests can be a little lazy about cleaning up after themselves! This isn’t a hostel issue - quite common with hostels unfortunately! Dave and James will do anything to make your stay more comfortable!
Thank you Mr William for your kind word it was a pleasure having you ! 😊
