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 reviewWe stayed in a family room for 4 nights. The location is in old quarter. Lots of restaurants and marts around the hotel and the night market is only 10mins walk. The breakfast was awesome,there were 4-5 choices. The staff in the kitchen was so nice,she prepared a take away for us when our tour was early in the morning and we didn't have time for breakfast. The beds are big enough and comfortable.However, there's a bad smell coming from the toilet or from the water coming from the sink,not really sure where the stinks come from.

Verified reviewThe receptionists were nice and helpful. The location is good, there are lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was really good too. They also provide laundry service which was fast too.
Cleanliness of the room and very old shower, not so much space to put clothes. First we also didn't get duvet cover but when we asked for it, they provided it.

The water percolates from the shower to a corner of the floor, where it sinks away. So, not a big problem, but it could use a refurbishment.

Verified reviewThe location. Right in the centre of the city. The manager is helpful in managing tours.
Small Space of the room. Room doesnt look like what it is seen in booking. com.Moreover the property doesnt clarify the room allotted is in the 2nd floor and accessible by stairs only. This Property has fixed cupboard without a single drawer. We didnt have toilet tissue even in the washroom. We informed the reception but didnt find it inside washroom later..

Verified reviewThe location is perfect (busy road but it's Hanoi). Staff is friendly and helpful, especially Giang is super helpful. Beds were comfy, breakfast was simple but nice, we liked the fresh fruits a lot. Good for a 1 or 2 night stay. We had an afternoon bus and they offered that we could take a shower if we wanted, after check-out, which was very friendly.
Our room on the 4th floor could really use some deep cleaning. Air-conditioning had mold on it and didn't work properly (we told staff and they immediately offered to give a fan, he said mechanic would come the day after). Also when showering the water inevitably would come all over the bathroom floor. Room was quite small. Hostel has potential but hygiene in the room we had really needs to be improved.

Verified reviewVery good location, right in the heart of the Old Quarter, you can walk everywhere. Good wifi for working. The bed is comfortable, and the shower is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast.
Very noisy. Our bedroom window was facing the street, and there is no soundproofing, so you can hear all the constant traffic noise (we had to sleep with earplugs).
