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 KingdomThe grubby bedroom and bathroom decor, stained shower mat, and worn sheets. The breakfast selection and quality weren't 4 stars. The cold coffee. USB port lamp arrangement not working. Minimal toiletries in vulnerable containers.
The staff were very helpful, professional, and dealt with queries and alteration to our booking efficiently. The Breakfast room had great views from the 10th floor. It was a stones throw from the lake with a good variety of restaurants bars and shops. Beautifully furniture throughout and comfy beds. Excellent omelette.

Australiawe had standard rooms to begin with and they were a little shabbier than the last two pre pandemic times I stayed at the Golden Silk. We upgraded for our last night and loved that room.
great location - just a quick stroll to Hoan Kiem lake and plenty of good eating options close by.

United StatesHonestly can't think of a damn thing. I even extended an extra day just because the place was so perfectly suited for exactly what I needed.
I already live in Hanoi, but I needed a staycation to clear my mind. I took 2 weeks and stayed at 4 different places. I wish I had spent the entire two weeks at Golden Silk Boutique Hotel. It's easy to find. Great location near Hoan Kiem Lake. That means there are plenty of food options available as well as scenic walks, art galleries, and plenty of space to move around. I took a walk around the lake every day. Let me just say I am extraordinarily appreciative of Emily and her staff for the hospitality they showed me, from the moment I checked in until I left, (after extending my original booking). They helped me find exactly what I needed. I needed a quiet, spacious, and inspiring place to write and that is exactly what I was offered. The hotel is gorgeous. My room was gorgeous. The included breakfast was fabulous. My large balcony view made all the difference when I needed a change of perspective from my comfortable desk space. The large king bed was comfortable and the pillows were just right. But all that is the easy part. It's not hard to spend the dollars to outfit a room. The Staff was probably the best part of my stay. The room was absolutely perfect, but the staff was the best complement to it. Even if the room was just average (again, it was perfect, btw), the staff would have made it more than worth the stay. I'm currently backpacking around the world. I've been in Vietnam since Covid. Of all the places I've booked. This is now in my top 3. I will for sure return for another staycation and I think you'd do yourself well to think about the same sort of getaway. You know you need it.
