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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe rooms are really small, no housekeeping during our stay, very noisy road. The room was dirty, it seemed the sheets weren't changed from a previous guest..
We liked the location, it is right in the heart of the old town and a block away from the lake. The hotel staff stored our bags before and after check in/out.

Vietnamthe stairs are horrible. my room was on the 4th floor, I had to go up to 5th floor and bring my suitcase down the stairs which are super narrow. they were doing some construction so it was really loud in the morning, when I was checking out I was going to take my luggage up the stairs so I can use the elevator but the staircase was full of construction material so I had to go down two floors with my suitcase in those tiny tiny stairs, I almost fell down multiple times, it was just so painful. the rooms are so small, there's no view out the window, just a wall. the pictures on booking.com and Google maps are super misleading. there's no mini bar, just a tiny empty fridge. it's just not what you think you're booking.
the staff was nice, the owner was very helpful, the room was clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. location is great.

AustraliaVery small basic rooms more like a single. Photos on Booking.com make the rooms look nicer than they are. Walls are thin so noisy neighbours and TV can be heard. Overpriced as room is only 2 or 3 stars due to age and small space. No view from window just a dirty courtyard.
Good host. Great location. Air conditioned, tea making facilities, hair-dryer. Quiet as internal rooms are away from street noise. Laundry and tours available at front desk.

Right across from the lake, outside taxi pickup zone but barely, room was decent and clean.
