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.).

United StatesThis place has been nothing but amazing: the room, location, view, the kind staff, the food (!). It is all built sustainably w bamboo and clay and the bungalows are set in a wonderful garden within the rice terraces of Sapa. Even when at times Sapa can be cold, the hotel staff will make u feel cozy. We also did some trekking tour provided by the stay and loved our guide, Su, the tour through the local culture and nature and the many things we learnt! Did I mention the view! The amazingly yummy food!! Special thanks to the hosts Ivan and his wife, Nam and Sue and everybody else who we met here.

FranceFrom the moment we arrived, we were received by a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere and an extremely warm and attentive team, which lasted until the very last moment! We loved everything about this place…the food was exquisite and very reasonably priced, the rooms made us feel as integrated with nature while being extremely comfortable, clean, and very beautifully decorated with local craft. And the view is absolutely breathtaking over rice fields and mountains. The BEST place to be in Sa Pa!

It was an amazing holiday at Eco Palms House. I am thankful to the host Mr. Ivan and his Wife. Eco Palms House make me a good feeling with the beautiful mountain view with the infinity pool, besides that are delicious cocktails and special local foods. And we did two days trekking tour which is perfect with the Local guide “Mrs. My” she is so funny and knowledgeable. I think there is nothing to decry.

I stayed at Eco Palms and had a terrific experience. The lodge overlooks a large valley, and the rooms all have that spectacular view. The rooms are spacious and have a nice balcony to stare at the view. The food is outstanding, with lots of choices (including vegan options, which was great for me). The lodge is about 15 minutes outside Sapa town, so you have some distance from the "action" in town. And the staff were all great - friendly, gracious, and made sure that I had a nice time. Strongly recommend this lodge.

The owner helped us book a great trekking guide, Su, who spoke english very well and we had a fun day with her walking through the valley. They have a lovely new pool which was awesome after a day trekking. The food was really good too.

Hong KongThe bathroom could use a little showerhead mount on the wall. we always had to hold it with a hand during shower.
A private, cozy small resort owned by a lovely, friendly couple. Great great view from right on top of the rice field, if you don't wanna get tired traveling in town, you can definitely spend a whole day sitting on the patio, having a tea and staring outside of the room. Room interior is very unique, traditional structure. There is not bed frame, the mattress is just placed on the ground, but very comfy. Food is slightly a little more expensive than outside but very nice. As advertised, there are a lot of insects, esp. in the night when the lights are on. But there is mosquito net around the bed. Shut the door in the night and for extra protection, please bring mosquito repellent.

United KingdomNot specific to the lovely Eco Palms House, but Sapa is generally a bit overpriced. Expect to pay more than you normally would elsewhere in Vietnam, but worth the views.
Incredible views, super attentive staff. We booked the Mountain View Cabin and it was even better than shown in pictures. If you're staying in Sapa, I'd recommend booking Eco Palms as it's far enough from the crazy city centre (Sapa can feel touristy), but close enough you can 'hike' or get a cab there (~5km) so you get to enjoy the amazing mountain air / views without the city madness.
