Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaMosquito nets in the bedrooms would be a good addition.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Amazing bed linen, super clean house (spotless windows to enjoy those views!), clean and well functioning toilets/ahowers (watch out for frogs!). Breakfast is delicious and plentiful with something different every day (6 days!). Staff were accommodating to us arriving very early. The location is truly stunning; in the rice paddies on the outskirts of a Hmong village, with views across to Ta Van and Fansipan in the distance. Waterfall within walking distance. Local kids played with my kids daily around the grounds. We went for a “trek” with the lovely neighbour who runs a shop next door. We got a taxi into sapa town one day and it was a huge culture shock! Great WiFi, washing machine, kitchen etc.

GermanyNothing - the property is really a perfect place to experience Sapa and the mountains surrounding it. But be prepared that you will be shocked by the trash that accumulates in places to a point were we personally felt very sick and devastated to be witness to such a disregard of the environment.
The house itself is very beautiful and local. It was all super clean. Our host was kind and over the top helpful. We had to check-out at 3am in the morning and he came and helped us with our luggage and pick-up service. The location is wonderful. You are directly in the rice fields and surrounded by local farm houses which makes it easy to just relax and people watch. It’s about 6 minutes away from a gorgeous waterfall were you can swim. Our kids loved it and would have spend the day there. And it’s easy to just start walking and have a hike through the bamboo forest and the rice fields.

ItalyPlace is located in a remote place, village of local ethnic Hmong. We had a room with balcony, where we could sit and watch sunset. In the morning we were woken up by roosters and pigs from a farm next door so if you’re looking for a place to sleep until 10:00 with no interruptions rather choose a hotel in Sapa but if you want to see how real life of locals look like this is definitely a place to go. A well known fungus problem in Vietnam caused me some skin irritation but Sapa Tranquilla was completely free of it. We were there end of February 2025 night was cool and humid so we were sleeping in sweat shirts, I did not feel cold. Staff is very friendly and kind. We were served coffee/tea and banh mi for breakfast all very tasty.

United KingdomThe hosts of our stay Cha and his wife Char are two of the loveliest people you will ever meet. The property is big and inviting, the shower facilities are stunning and the rooms are as cosy as being back at home (plus they come with an electric blanket for chilly nights ). Well worth the money and Char's half day tour/ trek through the near by villages and bamboo forest are incredible (she is a wealth of wisdom and has incredible endurance (you'll need plenty for the trek)). In addition to this Cha is an excellent cook so overall they make an incredibly dynamic duo.

United KingdomThe last piece of path/road leading up to the property is not suitable for cars, so on arrival there is a mini walk with your lugagge. But after that, we managed it perfectly fine on a motorbike.
The host and staff were super friendly and helpful! The location of this property was perfect for us! The rooms were so well equipped, spacious and well decorated. We had some awesome breakfast here and was kindly served by a member of the team on site. The hosts kindly assisted us booking motorbikes for our time here, they put us in contact with a local taxi driver who assisted us in our arrival and departure and also provided us some awesome information on walks we could do yourself in the local area. We really loved our time here, it is such a special place with amazing views, despite the inclement weather at times.

AustraliaI wanted to avoid the city to get a more authentic experience and to slow down from my previous stays. However, it was 25min taxi to the city. Therefore, this stay would be perfect for people who are trekking or don’t plan to spend much time in the city/town part. With this food options were more western and simple at surrounding food spots. Although, Tra gave me a taxi contact number and every time we wanted to drive in the taxi guy Tao was there on time and replied promptly. Located next to pigs and chickens so the smell outside was strong but inside smelt lovely and was very clean. Hot water would only work sometimes.
Beautiful location, very clean. Hard working staff and very kind. Tra went out of his way to take my partner to get dinner and returned him safely. Check in and out was easy. Filtered water for drinking. Laundry services offered and very prompt. Perfect for a homestay couple thinking of trekking. The rooms look like pictures.

IndiaI absolutely loved our stay at this charming property. This is located in the Quieter part of SaPa and is a few kilometres away the main town. The balcony has a great view and there’s a waterfall at walking distance. Cha is a super helpful host and went out of his way to assist us with her queries and help make our stay more comfortable. Scrumptious morning breakfast, complimentary! 10/10 would recommend!

Me and my partner we had such a good time at Sapa Tranquilla. The staff is friendly, helpful and supportive and we had nice conversations. The room is spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The host allowed us to use the kitchen and to prepare the coffee in the morning which was great for us! The view in the morning is absolutely stunning and is all you need if you want to escape from noisy cities and the hiking paths are near by. I reccomend this property with my entire soul!

United KingdomThe host is super friendly, one of a kind. The place was clean, comfortable and cozy. The location is close to the trekking attractions such as waterfall, rice fields, bamboo forest, etc. There is a supermarket and a cafe picturing the rice fields. I recommend Nguyen's property and I'm looking forward to visiting his place again. The place can be reached by taxi from Sapa or by renting a scooter. Taxis might cost between 200 to 250 VND, scooters start from 100VND/pd.
