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.).

The breakfast, lunch and dinner was also amazing, you definitely won't go hungry. The staff are absolutely lovely and kind. Thank you Regal Genesis, we will definitely be coming back. We will never forget the wonderful time we had on this cruise.

IndiaI would appreciate more variety in Vegetarian & Jain Food
The junior suite on our cruise, while not overly spacious, was beautifully appointed and comfortable. The bathroom was big with a luxurious tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventures. What truly set our accommodation apart were the massive windows situated directly in front of our bed, providing breathtaking views as if nature itself was displayed on a high-definition screen. The private balcony, furnished with a pair of chairs and a table, provided the perfect nook for intimate conversations while soaking in the stunning ocean views. The standout feature of our cruise was the exceptional level of personalization. From the moment of booking, through boarding, and until our return to shore, we were in constant communication with dedicated staff (Ms Chee)who made us feel truly valued. The cruise manager, Mr. Sunny, deserves commendation for his excellent engagement and entertainment skills, adding a vibrant energy to our voyage. Our dining experiences were a highlight, with our dietary needs for Jain food thoughtfully accommodated.

A special thank you to Ms Chee, thank you for organising the cake to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and help to surprise her. My family really appreciated that. Everything was perfect on the cruise and I will definitely recommend.

HungaryOne of the bartenders did not speak English well enough. One of as were lactose intolerant and told them in advance, they overlooked that. We could not go into the Bright and Dark Caves, and we think the operator knew, but didn't say the chances are very low and it is better to stay on ship, or go at your own risk. They could have offered alternative activity or a free cocktail or something like that... The drop off logistics in our case (private car booking) was not really ok, but we got compensation for our issue, and are fully satisfied with that, they did a good job.
The ship was beautiful and the room was excellent. It was so lovely to have such a nice private balcony and enjoy the views from there. We enjoyed the food and drinks. They took responsibility for an issue we had with our trip back after the cruise that we booked with them. They have excellent customer service.

AlbaniaWe booked 2 nights 3 days and the shuttle with thier lucury van which was very comfortable. All is organized perfect from the pickup to the hotel till the way back. Sunny was the hust and know how to anumate the gyest and always make them feel comfortable. The food is 5 star plus (book 2 nights to try all the menu they have). Big congrats to the chef. He cooked great food for lunch and dinner. All the staff is very kind and and always pleased to help and do their best to satisfy the guests. They are always smiling. I would mention James, the waiter which take care for you not to miss anything. Than the tour organisation with Daisy is fun just to be with her. With Daisy you can’t miss laughing anything she try to explain, and thats why every call her Daisy , lazy, crazy, noisy 😊😊. If you do one night will see only the cave but i suggest 2 night because second day you can visit the Cat Ba village (Women village, i will not tell the story behind because you need to hear from Daisy) where you ride in the nature and enjoy the beaty, you see tipical Vietnamise village. You will try the fish massage, and the holy water. The night is very calm and relaxing and you forget about the stress, cars and internet 😊. The room is better than 5 star hotel. You have all facilities needed and is very clean. We really enjoyed and i would suggest to do it if you go in Hanoi. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

AustraliaFood was good, however trying too hard to be pretetentious hence dropping in quality, at times. We personally felt they would have been great doing simple Vietnamese food. We do however understand they try to cater for all tastes. This is not Genesis' fault, but it was sad to see a lot of rubbish in the sea, basically everywhere.
Stunning rooms with private balcony, large windows and massive bathroom. Clean, well furnished and comfortable. Great restaurant setting and rooftop, including multiple lounges to cater for all guests. Friendly staff - we loved Daisy! Genuinely nice and funny. We had lots of fun sqid fishing with her. Competent tour guide, Sunny, was always present and attentive. Very prompt and helpful booking process and check out experience. Comfortable transfers. Smooth transition across transport and the various activities. Food quantity was plenty, maybe even too much. Overall amazing experience!!!

United KingdomUnfortunately our room was right underneath the loud speakers to the bar on the top deck, so the vibration of the bass came through to our room and was shaking our ceilings. It didn’t exactly make for a relaxing environment when we wanted to take a bath or chill in the room. Ha long bay itself had a real issue with waste and plastic in the ocean. We didn’t swim at all because of this.
The staff are so welcoming and kind. Special shoutout to Kong and Henry who really made our stay by sharing great stories and making us laugh. The ship itself is really lovely and the rooms are pristine, especially the bathtub. We did the 2 night trip, so we were able to do the excursion to Cat Ba island on the second day which was a highlight for us.
