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.).

PakistanNot a alot of variety in the breakfast menu
Our first night in Vietnam was at Babylon Hotel in Hanoi. The receptionist Mary was a delight to meet. She allowed us a very early checkin. As we were on our honeymoon, our room was beautifully decorated. The staff at this hotel, especially Miss Mary made our experience amazing. She even came all the way outside till our car to say us goodbye when we were checking out. Room was small and cozy, nothing exceptional but it was clean. The Ac worked like a charm. The hotel is situated in the heart of old quarters. Few minutes walk to train street. Would 10/10 recommend it.

United StatesThe room needs a little updating. The lobby is usually warm and uncomfortable while we were there. I don't think they keep the air conditioning on in the lobby very much. No hand towels in the room. The breakfast could have more variety and more flavor
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The location is great. They even let us shower and keep our luggage after check out.

United KingdomExcellent hospitality and super welcoming. This hotel is in a fantastic location and all the staff were exceptionally helpful in ensuring we had a wonderful stay and all our needs were met. They also managed to help us retrieve my husband’s lost phone which he forgot in the taxi on the way to the airport (shout out to Tony, thank you so much!!) Good variety of options for breakfast, rooms were comfortable and they held our luggage for a couple of days while we flew to Hoi An. Would highly recommend, thank you to all the staff at Babylon!

AustraliaRooms were not soundproofed. We get woken up at 5am ish every morning by people moving about outside the room and by the sounds of dining room chairs being dragged across the tiled floor despite being two floors up (level 3). Management should consider putting felt pads under the chair legs to reduce noise.
Location in old quarter was perfect. Rooms were comfortable. Hotel staff are friendly.

IrelandNo complaints, all was great.
Can't recommend Babylon enough. I loved my 3 night stay here. A 30 second walk to one of the main shopping streets in old quarter Hanoi, less than 5 minutes walk to the night markets and Hoan Kiem Lake, and 10-15 mins to train street, the prison and military museum. Delicious breakfast also included, buffet and a la carte options available. The staff were exceptional from start to finish. So welcoming and friendly and caring. Reception staff, the young men at the front door, restaurant staff and tour staff - you are always greeted when passing by. Room was made up on request also. Fast and cheap laundry service available too. I didn't use the spa so can't comment but it looked nice! They also kept my suitcase safe when I went away on a trip for a few days.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, and only have very positive things to say. Tony from Babylon Premium helped organise my trip months in advance - and it all went incredibly smoothly. I stayed three different nights over a week period, and Babylon was my "home" as I went to and from tours leaving from Hanoi. A great location right in the bustle of the old quarter. The staff were superb. They kept my bag safe, I was able to have my laundry sorted, and they answered all my questions about food / where to go. Also arranged a last minute food tour for me to join in Hanoi. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and quiet! - just what you need for a cosy nights sleep. And a decent breakfast, with take away organised for an early start. The 2 night tour to Sapa - that I organised with the hotel months before - was fabulous, with efficient van transfers, good itinerary, and a comfortable hotel, and homestay. Made it easy that could sort some of the tours directly with the hotel. It was really good. I felt very well looked after and appreciated all the support from Tony and the hotel team for my trip to Hanoi. Staying with Babylon just made it so much easier to plan the visit as a solo traveller. And helped make it very special. I would highly recommend Babylon Premium Hotel and will be back to stay should I visit Hanoi again.

ThailandAs mentioned by others, yes the water pressure is pretty low and that's a bit annoying but not the end of the world. The trash bin in our bathroom couldn't close (lock was broken) so the lid stayed open continuously not so clean/fresh, I found that something which should have been noticed and changed by staff.
Location is very good, middle of the Old Quarter. Reception very friendly and helped with restaurant reservation, provided us a map of the city center and it's highlights. Room is rather small, but yeah didn't come there to spend much time in the hotel room. Breakfast buffet selection is pretty decent, I expected worse.
