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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThere isn't clear transparency on billing, if you ask to bill in local currency they will use a higher conversion rate than Google. We had some issues with our billing and got up charged quite a bit from the price we booked at but the staff did what they could to assist us. It was also fire season so smoke pollution was a little rough.
Breakfast was good would have preferred a few more vegetarian options of the meat ones. Staff was very nice and helpful. They were accommodating of adding another guest to the booking. Easy booking of tours, really enjoyed the pool and was cleaned regularly

ChinaThe rooms had very few plugs and the ones that were there were difficult to use. We didn't come to watch TV, but the channels were not clear at all and so we didn't even bother trying to watch. The cleaning staff did not do a great job of cleaning the rooms, even though there wasn't a great deal to do anyway.
The Breakfast was superb. Both the breakfast area and the food was great. The hotel is located within walking distance of the main Luang Prabang attractions. Our room was large, comfortable and quiet. The staff were very friendly.

CanadaStaff was very friendly and accommodating but only a few staff members spoke English which made it difficult to communicate at times. I did not eat at the hotel, although the menu looked great the prices were more than expected and I opted for more authentic meals in town. Location was very nice and quiet but a 20min walk to the town which was inconvenient at times.
The hotel is absolutely stunning, beautiful gardens and pool area. The rooms are very spacious, serene and clean. The evening turn down service is excellent.

GermanyWe had one lunch at the hotel which was really tasty. But otherwise we ate out as we felt the prices in the restaurant were too expensive.
What a wonderful hotel, it was like stepping back into the past. Full of charm and atmosphere with beautiful grounds and a fantastic pool. My suite was just fab - incredibly comfortable, with everything you need and really effective aircon. It was great having breakfast on the verandah of the main building each morning - also very tasty. And the bar was a particular highlight of our visit - cozy and stylish. There were very few people staying during our visit - hopefully that was because it was low-season, because this really is a special place to stay. It's a little bit away from the centre of town, but that made it really peaceful and relaxing. The staff were terrific - incredibly helpful and kind. Many thanks to them for such an enjoyable stay!

United StatesOn booking they said they had free airport transfers. Not only did they not honor this but when we tried to contact them we got no response. On booking they, also, stated that the onsite restaurant was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant was not open for dinner. There were some stains on some of the furniture.
The rooms were big and spacious. The grounds were beautiful.

SwitzerlandFree of cost shuttle bus times to village center and back to hotel limited in between 17:00 to 20:30 or by addition fee per person of 5 USD per way. There is free of charge bicycle services available however that is not convenient for everyone. Shuttle bus need to be requested over line or what’s up. Response or confirmation needs to be improved. We waited for pick up at airport for more one hours and just when local person called the hotel we got confirmed that bus is on the way. We had another insufficient response for village to hotel return shuttle bus request where we after multiple requests received a confirmation.
Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast.

SingaporeUnfortunately my husband got food poisoning from the hotel and spent 3 of our 5 days in bed or in the bathroom. The hotel forgot to book our pickup car at the start of our trip which started things off on a negative. The wifi was sketchy, the bathroom flooded every time you took a shower because the drains were slow. Overall not the 5* experience we were hoping for or that the price suggests. I’m sure this hotel was fantastic in its heyday but now it’s dated and tired.
The property has been styled in keeping with an old colonial style and the gardens are beautifully landscaped, but sadly it seems like this hotel has never fully recovered from covid. The staff were friendly but clearly bored and under trained. The beds were super comfortable and breakfast was nice.

The grounds were really beautiful and you feel like you’ve gone back in time. The pool is enormous and very appreciated after a day in the sun! Incredible breakfast - we felt so spoiled! Finally, the staff were all really kind and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Special shoutout to TK at the front desk who helped us organise all of our tours - it was really well managed and we had a great time - and also to La the supervisor who ensured that we were very comfortable whilst at the property. I would recommend staying here if you go to Luang Prabang.

FranceEverything beside the rooms ! I have a glass of watermelon juice in the room since checked in and it stays there until I checked out! The hotel on it own is very beautiful but sadly lack of maintenance. Toilettes at the pool was extremely dirty. They should have just locked it down. Pool towels have holes and stains on every single one of them. A towel hanger in my room was broken in front of the housekeeping and they just put the broken piece there without fixing anything. First use of toilettes it was broken. We called and they send some one to "fix" it. 2 uses later, it was broken again and it kept going on like this until our 4th call. I told them we can not call each time we need to use toilettes and they needed to really fix this problem after that it was fixed! Our room is in the main building. We can hear the karaoke bar close to the hotel very loudly. If you do not need to sleep before 11 pm it would be fine... They service is hard to discribe. The staff are kind and helpful but they do not understand what you say or they are just not trained to work in a five stars hotel. We had lunch there once. The food was tasty but very very overpriced comparing to other very nice restaurants in luang prabang. I asked if the orange juice is fresh before order and got told that it is not because it is TOO expensive. By the way the room cost over 200€ per night! They have big management problem. We did not even see a manager there. Good comments on googles are not even from guests. Negative comments never been answered. By far this is my worst experience in hotels ever. 5 stars is such a joke!!
The rooms are beautiful

United KingdomThe menu for lunch/dinner was a little disappointing. Not much choice and pretty overpriced. There are a couple of authentic Lao restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel (a hot pot restaurant right opposite for example) which offer great food at a far cheaper price.
Absolutely beautiful hotel in Luang Prabang which was the perfect ending to our 12 days in Laos. Hotel was in a great location just outside the historic centre but the hotel runs a regular, free shuttle bus service into the town. Room was very spacious with everything I needed including a big comfortable bed and terrace. All the staff here were lovely; very friendly and helpful. Cocktail bar was beautiful and has a buy one, get one free offer during happy hour. Pool was stunning too. Good breakfast.
