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 reviewEfficient and polite staff, spacious, clean and well equipped rooms, a convenient location. We had a room on the eighth floor, so it was very quiet. Susan at the front desk was very helpful in helping us sort out a problem we had experienced during our stay. We highly recommend this hotel.

Verified reviewThe location is not accessible by car, which is a challenge if you have many luggage. It is near many places, such as famous food places, souvenir shops, landmarks, and even a supermarket. The staff let us in way earlier than the check-in time, which helped us a lot in order to prepare for our tour upon arrival.
The door in one of our room cannot close properly, it was okay but a bit of a struggle.

Verified reviewHotel is in old town and inside small street, needs to walk around 300m to get access to the road to get onto car. Quite a lively and friendly neighbourhood with lots of tasty street foods.
a bit difficult to walk in the small and busy streets, but worth to get the experience.

Verified reviewLocation ideal. Room was clean, bathroom great with good water pressure. Bed comfy. Mini bar well stocked. Reasonably priced. People were lovely.
No air con in breakfast area or hallways. Air con in room was clearly quite dated and temperamental. Breakfast options fairly limited. Overall hotel felt quite dated and could do with a glow-up. Can probably get somewhere a bit nicer for same money in this area

Verified reviewThe location was super convenient - right in the city center and really close to restaurants and souvenir shops. We only stayed for a night and slept for a few hours. The room was clean, but it looked a bit old as there were some parts of the floor starting to peel. The hotel has a lift, which was super helpful for seniors and PWDs. What we really appreciated was that they packed our breakfast to-go since we had to check out at 4am to catch our flight - such a nice gesture! Overall, the staff were really friendly and did their best to adjust to whatever we needed.
The room was a bit on the pricey side, especially compared to other hotels nearby that were nicer and more affordable.

Verified reviewSusan on reception was lovely and very helpful and informative, she booked our overnight train to Sapa and Limousine bus back for us. The young bellboy was amazing took us to the train STN and waited for us and got us on our train.
The hotel is a little tired, bed and pillows hard needs some TLC. Breakfast is basic but ok. Overall good value for the money.

Verified reviewWhen we arrived in Vietnam at the beginning of our trip, we stayed here and loved the hotel, so we decided to stay here again at the end of our trip, three weeks later. The staff is very nice and helpful. They upgraded us to a bigger room the second time we stayed here and offered to help arrange transportation to the airport They also allowed us to leave our bags at the reception after checkout. I really liked the transparency with which they handled everything. They tracked our luggage with a receipt. They also gave us a stamped paper copy of our payment for our stay. No other hotel we've stayed in Vietnam has been as transparent. The hotel has a very good location, although it is a bit hidden, since it is on a pedestrian street, is perfect because there is no noise in the rooms. Located in the French Quarter (Hoan Kiem area), it's possible to walk to the Old Quarter and practically all of the city's attractions. In both stays at the hotel the rooms have been spacious, clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast is a bit scarce and is only served until 9:30. At night they close the main door but they always have someone from the staff sleeping at the reception who can open it. The value for money is good for the city of Hanoi.

Verified reviewThe staffs were all accommodating and friendly. They allowed us to check in early once a room was already available. They provided us extra pillows when we asked for it. The room was really clean as well.
We had a trouble locating the area at first since it's kind of in an alleyway. The breakfast wasn't ready when we went down at 7am and it was also meh. The TV has no internet.

Verified review- Quiet and central location - Spacious and nice rooms - Comfortable beds - Friendly staff
- Very weird room design with hanging lamps above the bed (we ended up bumping our heads into them 2-3 times) - There were mattresses on the stairs of every floor, which raised concerns about fire exit safety regulations !!! - Simple breakfast - Awful coffee (I highly recommend Tornado Coffee, a lovely family-owned place nearby) - Bathroom needs some renovation (leaky sink and outdated facilities)
