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.).

Cigarette smoke got into my room through the bathroom exhaust vent despite that I had been promised a non-smoking room. The staff was very helpful and upgraded my room the next morning to an executive room which is much bigger with city and park views.
Buffet breakfast is included in the room charge. A wide variety of food is provided including Western, Chinese and Vietnamese. The location is excellent especially for first time visitors to HCMC. The bus terminal is nearby and there is a local bus stop just 20 m from the hotel. Airport buses and intercity coaches also stop outside the hotel. The hotel is behind the Bui Vien Walking Street.

I personally asked for a room with a balcony, which faces the park and the street. It's a busy street! So I don't mind sleeping with earplugs... Maybe the noise from outside will bother others. But the view from there is beautiful!
Centrally located, right in front of the park! Big room, super comfortable bed. Breakfast is really delicious (it's actually like lunch)! The hotel is clean and cozy, I enjoyed staying there!

Rooms were big but very outdated, needs a refresh! Small bathroom, with bath/shower. Breakfast was disappointing, chose not to eat there again.
Quiet hotel in District 1 with Close proximity to everything you’d need. 7/11, massages, pubs/bars, MacDonald, hungry Jacks: Coffee shop down stairs. Great indoor, semi air conditioned market with better quality items than Ben Thanh markets just 5min walk. Night life 1 street back with live music.

One of the bed made squeaking noise when you change position. It wakes other people. That's all, otherwise it was a great stay.
The room with three beds was spacious as well as the bathroom. Place was clean, staff was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Food was good lots of choices. Place was near everything.

We were offered early check in and late check out during the stay - as genius booking members but non of the options were available. Gym was open only for few hrs and it wasn’t a gym but just a room with dumbbells and treadmill. Staff doesn’t really speak English and was giving confusing informations.
Comfortable room and good location. Good breakfast

Breakfast is leaning towards woeful, abandoned my breakfast on the first morning and never returned. Saigon don't sleep so park facing room will be a little noisy, so just be aware, this is not the hotel though - it's the city
Great location, walking distance to Ben thanh and steps away from Bui Vien, great park right across the road, taxis always out front, professional staff, clean room with great ac

Nothing
Location was perfect. Walking distance ( this is relative as 1 km I still consider walking distance ) to Ben Thanh market, Saigon Square ( I recommend shopping in Saigon Square over Ben Thanh as it is air conditioned and the shops offer better prices ) and the Church if you are Catholic. A lot of restaurants also around the area. Breakfast was good. Had the Pho every morning as it was really good. Bfast was also varied as it had western and Vietnamese dishes. Lobby staff services was excellent. Reception staff always helpful on any help you may need. Special mention to Mr Tam who assists guests at the lobby area. Mr Tam even helped us cross the street as you may know how scary it can be to cross with too many scooters in the streets.

The room doesn’t have windows but the picture shows a fake window which is misleading. The bedsheets felt a bit damp, and the furniture are old.
The staff is responsive and easy to talk to. The location is very convenient and the breakfast has lots of options.
