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.).

AustraliaWas too hot to enjoy all of the resorts facilities - would be a better location in the cooler months The very peaceful location was transformed on the national day weekend into a noisy (screaming karaoke, loud dance music, drunk people banging on your door at 11pm) crowded (no inside seating left for breakfast and 35 degrees outside) place that we were glad to leave. We had loved it up until til then.

VietnamSome what isolated but with convenient transport options for day trips to Hue; the next door 3 star hotel hosts cultural activities and is very lively with many school groups so may be slightly noisy on occasion but otherwise added variety to the experience.
Well maintained in a rural natural setting, convenient layout with bicycle or walking and golf cart on call. Excellent spa and onsen facilities as well as outside thermal baths. Very good restaurant with very fresh traditional Hue dining. Excellent, very helpful and pleasant staff at all facilities. Excellent app made management of room service, bookings and transport very easy and response was excellent.

Everything was just fantastic. The hotel facilities, activities and staff exceeded all our expectations. Spa and onsen are very well organized, clean and professional. We even did zip line. The food on site is of great quality and there is so many things to do in site, we wished we could have stayed longer !

VietnamHoliday cheer can sometimes clash with spa scheduling realities. We recently encountered this during our Christmas Eve visit, when the spa staff initially booked our appointments right smack in the middle of dinner! ️ Needless to say, we weren't exactly thrilled with the prospect of swapping festive feasting for facials. After politely declining, the spa team managed to find us some alternative slots. While we appreciated their efforts, the catch was that the appointments were scattered, meaning we couldn't enjoy our spa time together as a group. This experience highlighted the importance of booking spa appointments well in advance, especially during busy periods and holidays
The hot springs were absolutely amazing! They had several pools with different temperatures and minerals, and the outdoor setting was incredibly serene. The pools were well-maintained and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to relax.

TaiwanThe rooms and bathrooms are a little smaller than in other hotels of a similar quality, and access to one side of the bed was a little awkward and cramped; there was no armchair or comfortable seating area, however the stool under the counter was helpful.
The village-like layout in this peaceful location provided a restful ambience. The daily onsen visits and choice of foot or head reflexology massages were fantastic! The included breakfast (buffet and a-la-carte) and other meals in the beautifully designed Madam Chau restaurant were delicious. The complimentary kombucha and frequent welcome and pre/post treatment drinks were thoughtful. The staff, especially in the restaurant, reception and spa area, were very warm and welcoming, and made every effort to make our stay enjoyable. The outdoor hot springs, and the easy access to the public hot springs in the property next door provided ample opportunity for bathing at different temperatures. Our day trip to the city of Hue, visiting the Citadel and Tomb, was inspiring and worth the effort.

Staff were exceptional and always happy to assist with booking our spa treatments and dinner etc. The resort was very empty when we went which probably helped with this. Yoga class was awesome and food was reasonably priced so wasn’t a problems either eating at the resort. Finished our stay and felt very relaxed

AustraliaWouldn't change anything - it was exceptional.
My partner and I chose to stay at Alba to get away and celebrate our third anniversary. Tuyet Anh and the team were absolutely remarkable, they went well above and beyond to make sure our stay was absolutely unforgettable. I was in close communication with the team days before arrival on WhatsApp to make sure everything was arranged - which was such a personal experience, one that I've not had with a hotel or resort before. As an unexpected special treat - we were surprised with a room upgrade to bungalow & gifted an anniversary cake! Beyond the above - we were impressed by all of the amenities, activities and facilities, along with blended Vietnamese & Japanese architecture and interior design that made the entire environment feel unique and different. An absolute highlight for us was the onsen and spa, with several different types of baths and steam rooms, the entire experience was so well considered and relaxing. Alba is a must if you are looking for a short get-away in Hue

Vietnamnothing really
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the resort. That was like a dive into countryside life without giving up on city-kind comfort. The staff was extremely hospitable, and the bungalow was great, clean, and had everything we needed (even a coffee maker, which was super helpful for bringing morning cycling into our life😆). We had many entertainment options such as a zipline, highwire, pottery class, meditation class, fantastic swimming pool, massage, hiking, and more. Thank you to all staff who helped us during all those activities! Moreover, the place is full of breathtaking landscapes we reveled in! For sure, we will stay there again, and I do recommend doing the same for everyone looking for a place of physical and mental relaxation.

United StatesThe food at the restaurant was overpriced, especially for the size and quality. The beds were quite hard. We specifically requested a room with a king/double bed, and they gave us a room with two twins pushed together, even though I said I didn’t want that option.
The hot springs were lovely, and I loved the Onsen at the spa. The room was clean. The breakfast buffet had good options and the food was fresh and tasty.
