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.).

New ZealandAir conditioning could be better, the room didn't seem to be able to hold the cool in/keep the heat out (bathroom window was open etc). Half the power plugs weren't working or able to be used. Geckos kept coming in through the bathroom window which we weren't able to close, and the door handle to the bathroom door wasn't working/able to be closed properly.
Nice staff, great location. Extra fans offered for the room as it was in the middle of the heatwave (unfortunately it didn't help much as it was difficult to cool the room down in the first place)

United KingdomThe location of the hotel is on a fairly busy street in a busy area which is great for party goers but if your looking for a quiet trip, it’s not an ideal location. We were given a room on the 4th floor which was a lot of stairs in the hcmc heat!! Additionally, the main women was abit intense. She followed us out on to the straight after we said no to her question and followed us whilst asking the question again, however, the other ladies were super lovely!!
Rooms were nice enough for the price you pay

AustraliaExcellent location, rooms are clean and spacious. The ladies who run this hotel are absolutely lovely and were so accommodating to us, allowing us to store our bags and shower before our night bus. After all their service they would still not take extra money. Very kind and very generous would definitely recommend!

United StatesOur room was quiet despite being in such an active location. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. There was a kettle and mini refrigerator. As with many places in Vietnam, there is no shower curtain, and there is no elevator. The hostess was very nice, and very helpful (helped communicate with our onward travel bus company, and arranged an inexpensive taxi). A very good value.

VenezuelaVery nice hotel with a great location near by restaurants and bars. Only a 20 minute walk to the main attractions of Saigon. The owners of the hotel are unbelievably helpful. They gave me free breakfast every day and were always ready to help with my requirements. Besides acomodation they exchange money (best rate I saw) , provide laundry service and can help you book tours and bus transportation to other cities. Great stay

IrelandOur room wasn't available when we arrived as somebody hadn't been able to check out. We weren't happy in our replacement room (further down the same road) so to be fair, she brought us to a few different places to try to get a room that we liked. Unfortunately we made the wrong choice and the bed was like a plank! We felt the other person should have been put somewhere else as the room was booked to us. Other than that all was good.
The owner was fab, very helpful, free breakfast, beer when we arrived in & some fruit. Launderette on site which was reasonable. No lift so beware if you have mobility issues. Bed wasn't bad (Asis beds are hard!) Very close to the madness but not too noisy really as its on a side street

United KingdomNothing, everything was great!
This place is absolutely amazing and I couldn't recommend it enough. I felt so safe and looked after. The sisters who run the hotel are so lovely and friendly. Nothing was a problem for them, they even made me breakfast every morning. The room was spacious and clean,and I had a great sleep. You can ask for your room to be made up but I didn't think it was necessary as I only stayed a few days. I definitely regretted not staying longer as HCMC has so much to offer and this hotel is in a great location. But I was pressed for time so I had to move I will definitely stay here again if I visit HCMC. Highly recommend, especially for female travellers!
