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.).

AustraliaHalong Bay has been in our bucket list for a long time and being there truly felt incredible. Our room was outstanding, very spacious with bathtub overlooking the bay, big standing shower, huge bed and satellite TV with international channels. Wifi was weak so we ended up watching some TV before bed and caught Pretty woman which was nice :) All 4 meals were good, especially the seafood dinner on the first night, very fresh ingredients, beautifully presented with generous portion. Good selection of wine. We ordered a bottle of bubbly Bottega, and it was absolutely wonderful, went perfectly with the seafood. The staff was the star of the show, professional, knowledgeable with good English skill and super caring. Vietnamese hospitality is truly on another level.

SingaporeWhile the location speaks for itself, the cruise ship is indeed very beautiful, intimate with 30 something guests which leaves plenty of space for us to roam around with privacy. The crew was super professional and helpful, always willing to go the extra miles to make us feel welcome. Food was amazing of course ( Vietnamese food lovers here ^^) Overall experience: 10/10

AustraliaThe only down side (which is not the fault of Le Theatre Cruise), was all the rubbish and pollution in Ha Long Bay. Just worth mentioning as we were surprised - we went kayaking twice and both times came back covered in polystyrene beads.
Beautiful cruise, delicious food and lovely staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day cruise.

South AfricaOur 2 days and 1 night journey began at 8:15 when we were picked up from our hotel and boarded the bus to Halong. It was a comfortable ride on highway and took around 3 hours to reach Tun Chao island in Halong city (where the dock is located). Weather was nice and it was refreshing to see the harbour where many boats are docking. We were then transfered to the main boat by a smaller boat which took around 1 hour. Lunch was served before we checked into our cabin which was one of the best rooms we've ever stayed in, huge bed, clean bathroom and the view from our terrace was incredible. We then proceeded to kayaking and afternoon tea followed by a small cooking class where we learnt to make spring rolls. Dinner was served around 7 and we had the best seafood dinner (seafood lover here :)) Everything was fresh and locally sourced and the food just kept coming. Lilian our waitress kept checking on us to see if we need more food but really it was too much, we couldn't finish everything. The 2nd day we did a bamboo boat ride to see the dark cave, we especially loved this activities and would highly recommend you wake up a bit early to participate. We arrived back to harbour around 11:30 and reached our hotel around 3pm. It was a perfect little side trip if you're in the North side of Vietnam. Tips: - Best dipping sauce recipe: Salt, pepper, chilli pepper and a bit lime juice , literally go well with everything! - Ask bar staff for drinking board games, they have some and was quite fun!

AndorraExcellent service and great facilities. Staff went above and beyond to provide us with a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our time onboard. The only thing that needs improvement was softer pillows. Their pillows were a bit hard and we are used to flat pillows that support neck. Personal preference though. Other than that, all good.

AustraliaIt does not directly have to do with Le Theatre Cruises. The boat ride to the caves is a beautiful experience but also poses the problem of pollution. :( I hope tour companies are doing their bit to clean up and preserve the beauty of Halong Bay.
Great for 1-night stay. Food was great onboard and the staff were attentive.

New ZealandThere's nothing much to do at night after dinner except for squid fishing but we do appreciate them leaving sets of chess in the 2nd deck lounge for us to entertain ourselves. Very nice touch!
We had the wonderful time onboard Le Theatre cruise. The staff did their best to take care of us and shared their best knowledge of the area. We were served a seafood set menu for dinner and the food just kept coming. Despite everything being super yummy we couldn't finish our dinner. But if you can, you can ask for more which was very generous imo. Our room was beautiful and clean and we had hot running water with good pressure. The pillow was a bit hard imo but it was ok for my gf. Overall we had a good rest and really enjoyed our time!
