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 reviewFriendly family owned place. Rooms are huge, the room itself is very clean and modern. Comfortable bed and strong AC. Lots of desk space, big wardrobe and balcony. TV with lots of apps and movie channels. Wifi is fast. Location is perfect. Walking distance to most places.
Bathroom is a bit dated but considering the price I wouldn’t complain

Verified reviewWhat more do you want ......!!! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this home stay for 2 nights, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was perfect—the location was great (around 15 min to the main place which is the 'old village' and the night market, the room was good, the beds are confortable, the WIFI was good and they offer bicycle for free ..... But what truly stood me out was the kindness of Ms. Sophia, her husband Mr Thai, and their entire family Thai's parents and the kids. I arrived at 7:00 am, they allowed me to take a rest in the lobby's couch i was very tired as i had a long trip of 11 hours by bus. The same thing when the departure, my bus was at 4:00 pm, i stayed in the lobby till 3:00 pm (it was very hot and dry outside) Basically this Guest house doesn't offer breakfast, but as I had benefited from GENIUS booking offered me free breakfast, Mrs. Sophia prepared it for me both days (eggs, toast, watermelon, coffee) It’s rare to encounter such warm and generous hosts. Thank you for making my stay in Hoi An unforgettable! I highly recommend this Homestay.

Verified reviewThe free bikes were good and super useful to explore Hoi An. The host was very kind, and the bed was spacious and very comfortable.
I imagine the balcony room is much better. Ours was not so great. In the bottom floor, no windows and soooo many mosquitoes.

Verified reviewThe room was spotlessly clean, with beautiful windows on all sides, and a very comfortable bed! Sophia and her family are all so kind, and so helpful, helping me with everything that I needed and more! It’s a perfect distance by bike from the hustle and bustle of old town, close enough to get in easily, but far enough that it’s peaceful and quiet, tucked away in a residential neighbourhood.

Verified reviewIt’s tucked away in a neighborhood just off a main road leading into old town. I personally loved being on the outer edge and biking to the rice fields/beach/quieter areas instead of being in the middle of the tourist hustle. Her husband’s airport car service was easy and a good price, and their laundry service was very professional. Would love to stay again.
Bikes could use some brake repairs, otherwise great!

Verified reviewThe hospitality was top notch! Van (Sofia) is the sweetest hostess… she will help you with anything you need. She took me shopping, (strolling down the streets arm and arm), helped me ship a box home, gave me the names of restaurants, made me the best coffee, and even helped me repair the wheel on my suitcase. She is amazing 🤩 and grateful to call her a friend!
The construction next to her property. Hopefully they’ll be done soon.

Verified reviewThe room was really nice and cosy with a lot of storage place. It was clean as well. The host offered airport transfer for a good price.
The accommodation was not so far from the city center but the neighborhood was dirty. There was a small rain and around the building was a big puddle, not possible to avoid.
