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.).

GermanyIt is more a Hotel than a Hostel, there is not really a common area where people get together. If you are looking for a more quiet accommodation it’s perfect.
Very warm welcome at the Check-in, they provided a lot of information about tours around Hanoi & also sell SIM-Cards. The room was big and clean, one water per day was included in the price. The Hotel is located directly in the Old Quarter.

PortugalStaff was very friendly. I took a tour to Halong Bay organized by the hostel and didn't face any problems, it was really good. I was able to leave my big backpack between trips so that was great. Room was ok, although very noisy - had to sleep with ear plugs.

AustraliaA minor issue with the TV in my room, having said that I didn’t mind the extra peace and silence!
I must say, the staff here and quality of service here is of a very high standard. So friendly and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble for them. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Old Quarter, having said that, the location (Old Quarter itself) can be both a strength and a weakness! Thanks in particular to Miss Lisa, especially at checkout. I had a great final day in Hanoi. Never forgotten. (Andrew)

I booked a dorm bed which was very comfortable. The staff was very courteous and helpful in guiding tours. I was recommended to do a day tour to Ninh Binh by Linda and it was all worth it. I would recommend the stay.

AustriaThe room was quite small, but very clean. It had a safe and air con. The staff was great, they had all the informations needed for trips in and around Ha Noi, organized the airport pick-up for me and were generally very helpful, but not pushy. As a solo (female) traveller, I felt very safe there. The location was perfect, just around the corner from the lively night market & beer street.

United KingdomThere was a dead centipede found in our room on the floor which was a bit unpleasant but this is an easy mistake to make and the staff quickly came and removed it. You are paying for rock bottom prices and best to remember that this is not a five star establishment.
The staff were brilliant. Helped us with a slightly earlier check in which was much appreciated after our 14 hr journey from London. They actually offered us a room earlier but unfortunately was a double bed, nonetheless appreciated the thought and they allowed us to use the room temporarily to have a shower which was really lovely! The breakfast options were actually pretty good and made to order (I had the pork and sticky rice option) which was nice and they had a decent spread of cereals, juices and fruits. For the money you spend, it is really worth it and we only stayed there for the one night which meant they must have left a good impression. Also to note, heritage house is next door which we did not get a chance to see but was told worth a visit and being right in the middle fo the old quarter meant easy access to most sites.

JapanI did not know they have water server in the restaurant so I just bought the bottle water they sell in front of the reception. The lady could have told me there is water inside of the restaurant so that I could just refill the water.
Liked their professional services and tours. Even though I did not book in the end, they helped me with many info. My first time seeing bathtub and shower in dormitory room of 6 beds. It's nice to have a small terrace to see outside. I felt the other guests were more matured than other "party" backpackers dormitory hostels/guesthouses in Hanoi. I liked their breakfast 1 menu of your choice and fruits and drink buffet. They servce from around 6am so great to start early morning. I had made fellow friends here :D

IrelandThe only downside is that some of the electrical sockets were quite old and did not hold some plugs in place easily making it a little difficult to charge devices.
This is a really nice hotel. Lovely comfortable clean room, excellent friendly, helpful staff, strong internet connection, very good breakfast, super location and all really good value for money. I would definitely recommend it.

QatarFirst of all we wanna thank Ms. Lisa, who was there for us during our entire stay. From airport pickup to arrangement of tours, money exchanges etc, their services were prompt and exceptional. The checkin process was very quick. The room was super cool and cosy. The view from the room was the best amongst all. They provided us with recommendations for tours, since my wife is pregnant. We booked couple of them for reasonable price too. Unfortunately, our wallet got pick pocketed in the same evening. We were worried, since all of our money, bank cards and IDs were in the stolen wallet. Knowing that, the staff went extra mile to cancel our tour which were already booked, refunded our entire money, so that we could stay in Hanoi for couple more days without any hassle. Ms. Lisa also provided us with a free airport drop off, which shows great professionalism, care and empathy. We felt like we were given extra care and compassion throughout our stay. We will definitely recommend Hanoi House to everyone who plans to visit Hanoi for a memorable lovely stay and journey. Thanks a lot Ms. Lisa once again.
