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 reviewAll of the staff is amazing. Friendly, funny and helpful. The breakfast was really good. The location is also good. For the price per room its a good deal.
The economy standard room is tiny, and one whole wall is essentially glass. While it blocks some of the sound, you can still hear the party from the pub street at night. In two of our rooms the aircon had a bad smell.

Verified reviewGreat location!
We had some issues with our room (door not locking properly, so noise coming in from outside) and they changed the room. Rooms are okay, what you need for a night. Unfortunately, we had lots of noise from the other people in the hotel until late at night, but overall, perfect location and lovely staff!

Verified reviewBreakfast was great. Fresh from the day. Quite well located They offer tours to Mekong delta
- Photos in Booking do not match with reality. (smaller and older). - There was a worm in the shower drain, we asked to clean the room that day, they agreed however no one came to clean it up. - It was quite noisy, close to pederestian party street. Need to wear ear plugs. - Can find hostels for similar price for much better output.

Verified reviewComfy beds and great location. Staff were kind.
The pictures are not a true display of the actual accommodation!!!! Unfortunately I didn't have a good stay here, the first night we weren't given our expected room - a handle had been broken so we were given a different room and then told to pack up and move on the second day (a bit annoying). The room we were moved into unfortunately smelt like a drain/sewer, when we complained one of the staff sprayed the room with cleaning spray and bug spray? This helped for about an hour. The handle then broke off the toilet door! To make it worse, the next morning we found dead cockroaches in the shower which I assume the staff knew about hence the bug spray. I then went back and looked at the original listing pictures and realised the room we booked is not displayed on the listing at all which is highly misleading to customers! Most of the staff were kind and helpful but one member of staff made us feel a bit weird while we were having breakfast, he was a bit too intense and over the top with everyone making us very uncomfortable.

Verified reviewClose proximity to Ben Thanh market and also the busy Bui Vien Street. Bed was very comfortable, had aircon and it is a large room that provides a mini fridge and access to free bottled water. Breakfast was delicious though basic from Banh Mi Eggs to Pho or toast. I tried everything but especially loved the cut fruit pieces supplied with it on the daily.
The walls are very thin. Could hear upstairs and downstairs neighbours when they came back to their rooms.

Verified reviewGreatly liked the hosts, Moon and Min, who went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. Also enjoyed the breakfasts, especially the varied fruit platter and fresh bread!
The suite I stayed in allowed smoking on the balcony (my choice admittedly) and a smell of stale tobacco seeped into the room a little as the ashtray was left uncleaned by the cleaning staff. Also, the unit faced a distant nightclub and the bass line was sub-audible during the night. The tremendous hospitality of the hosts and staff, however, radically compensated for these minor annoyances!
