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 reviewRoom was clean, staff was freindly, and the location was convenient to tourist spots and restaurants. The breakfast was outstanding. Room was quiet at night which is pretty rare in Saigon. Free Wi-Fi was important for planning our trip to other cities. Most of the staff spoke English very well. We really enjoyed our stay!
Room was a bit small. Mini-fridge didn't get cold. No dedicated, secure space for short-term baggage storage.

Verified reviewThe staff are outstanding. Very helpful. Shout out to Moon, super helpful, I don't think she ever sleeps. Vincent should have his own TV show. Also met Jan herself and she is lovely.
Very little to be critical of. For the price range it's very good indeed.

Verified reviewThis is a very good hotel to stay, right near the busy Bùi Viện Walking Street but without the noise. Accessible to the main Trần Hưng Đạo road where you can get the public bus (No.152) to-and-from the Airport. It is located on a wider clean alley instead of the common narrow alleyways typically found in HCMC. The staff was extremely helpful when I needed to buy some things for a special occasion. There is a also a good laundry shop right next door! Thank you to "Jans", "Moon", "Minh" and all the other staff who I cannot remember the Vietnamese names (sorry). I understand that the owner has 3 different properties in that area, so I must have stayed at the best one.
The Lift is a bit small for anyone with big bags, but the boys will assist in delivering bags to your room. The dining area (breakfast included) is a bit warm and perhaps need better ventilation. No other facilities but it is ok, as I was always going out. And the weird thing in Vietnam, the location is where it is, but (don't know why?) Google Maps is just not accurate for most places !

Verified reviewA perfect place to stay in Ho Chi Minh. Moon is such a wonderful host and the whole team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and aid us with our trip planning. On arrival, Moon provided us with cool drinks and fresh fruit- a much needed treat after a long journey. Laundry service available next door and Moon helped with lots of information to enable us to enjoy our stay. She has a wonderful singing voice too! Lovely breakfasts with lots of great options.
Cautionary note...the showers get really hot!

Verified reviewLots to like about the Jan Hostels, but mostly I liked the staff, especially Moon and Min, who both went way beyond the call of duty to make my stay in Saigon much better than good!
In sum, nothing, nada, zero! I fully enjoyed my 2 two night stays!

Verified reviewThe staff were all super friendly. The location was great—close to a lot of the sites and nightlife on the walking street, but still felt secluded and quiet. The Vietnamese-style breakfast was also very tasty!
The room and bathroom could have been a little cleaner as I spotted a couple ants but not many and there were a few damages in the paint and on the tiles.

Verified reviewFriendly staff. They offered some breakfast to go on days of early check-out and an early excursion. Location is central, but in a quiet street away from the busy main road.
Room is very small, bathroom is basic, breakfast is very simple. Photo's look a bit more stylush than it actually is. All in all good value for money.

Verified reviewNot only is it a great place to stay, the staff is also the nicest. Moon and her brother in particular are always is to help and are more than kind
On a typical Vietnamese fashion, the walls are thin so you can hear the street

Verified reviewLike other reviews also mentioned, the staff was amazing! Always smiling brightly and willing to help! The room was nice and the beds were comfortable. Especially for the price, I can’t think of a better stay in Ho Chi Minh.
The room was very noisy so you can hear everything happening in the hallway. If there are louder guests at breakfast or in the hallway/lobby they might waker you up. Be mindful of that if you are a light sleeper. The shower was also not very hot at certain times, but this is avoidable.

Verified reviewThe staff really made this place feel like more than just a stopover. One of the team, Moon, was full of energy and kindness, even went out of her way to prepare me breakfast after I’d missed the usual time. That gesture alone sums up the vibe here. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and the location made it easy to get around.
Nothing major. Just be aware it’s tucked slightly off the main road, peaceful, but not a party hotel.
