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.).

AustraliaNothing to complain about
We stayed at Lavender on recommendation from a friend. Stayed 7 nights in total (5 + 2) around a trip up north. The location in Hang Bac (Street of Silver) in the Old Quarter is great, everything is at your doorstep. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. We appreciated the little extras, like two pillows each and providing hand towels and a bath mat, 😊, as a number of places we stayed (at about the same cost) , provided just towels only. We booked a room with a window for the first stay. This overlooked Hang Bac and had good views, but of expected, there was a bit of noise at night. The second stay, the staff kindly upgraded us from the double room (no window) we had booked, to a double room at the back of the hotel which also had a window. This room was very quiet at night. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Booking transfers efficiently and they happily took care of our big luggage when we went up north. The breakfast was as included in our booking and we were impressed with all the selection of food provided. We would stay here again without hesitation. Just loved it.

AustraliaA great haven away from busy Old Quarters
This is a charming hotel with a great vibe and is in the heart of the bustling Old Quarters. It was great value for money, the room had everything we needed. The staff at the front desk were amazingly helpful and attentive. The breakfast was really nice and they made pancakes on request. They were happy for us to leave our belongings there once we returned from our cruise, and in between our flights, even though we weren’t staying an extra night. I believe the smaller hotels make for a more personal experience. It was a great stay!

The location was perfect for all we wanted to see in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. The staff are just exceptional. They go out of their way to help. We never usually book things through hotels but the staff booked our transfers to Sa Pa for the same price we could book online and even made us a packed lunch! They also kept our bags for the time we were away. The place is clean and has a cute charm. Just loved our time here

United StatesI truly believe nothing. For the money you pay and their rates, by the way, are very reasonable, you receive a perfect combination of excellent service, warm hospitality and friendly smiles.
It is an excellent hotel which exceeded my expectation. The staff were very professional and courteous. I'd like to emphasize the level of English of the staff which was ranging from very good to perfect; it is not very often you could meet in Vietnamese's hotels. Strategically the hotel is located right in the middle of the Old Quarter, which is the perfect location; everything is within walking distance. During our stay there was only one mishap but in fact the way it was resolved shows hotel's staff efficiency and willingness to please the guest. In one of our rooms the A/C became too noisy and as soon as I reported the hotel's management immediately found another room with the quietest A/C and transfer all my belongings there.

United StatesThe room was rather small but it is typical of the Old Quarters. There were choices of rooms with or without windows and we paid a little more for the one with a window. Unfortunately the view out the window was an air conditioning compressor that blocked most of our view.
The staff was exceptional, warm thoughtful and sincere. Hana took great care of us making sure that our entire trip in Vietnam is planned out, not just only when we stay at her hotel. She booked our trip to Sapa and would accommodate our choices of overnight stay and activities. She made sure we had our packed breakfast for the journey to Sapa.

AustraliaMy only issue was a massive 2.5% charge to pay for my stay by credit card. In all our stays in Vietnam it was the only hotel that charged us to pay by credit card, and the 2.5% charge was high. I think the hotel should be transparent about this charge upfront and mention it on their booking.com page. No charge if you pay by cash.
The hotel is centrally located in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. A busy area that comes with traffic and people noise, but our room was on the top floor and this helped minimise the noise. We were greeted with a warm smile from Hana and received a welcome drink whilst we checked in. The entrance is small from the street, but it opened into a much bigger ornate area. We had booked a junior suite which was located on the top floor, accessible via a lift. The room was a good size, with a large street facing window. Clean and comfortable, with good WiFi reception and tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was included which was plentiful and there was lots to choose from. The staff couldn’t do enough for us, including organising a cab for us one day and offering other tours too, apparently at a discount. Couldn’t really fault our stay and would happily stay again.
