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.).

AustraliaLOCATION: It was clean, close to the main attractions of the city and easy to be picked up by tour operators. STAFF: there are no words to describe how accommodating and kind everyone was, whatever we needed and what we didn’t know we needed. Above my expectations, thank you so much. CLEANLINESS: even though the bathroom is shared, it was pristine each time. Well equipped ROOM: AC worked perfectly, the room has enough light, spacious and has literally everything.

This is a lovely place to stay situated in the heart of the old quarter, on a tranquil side street. The owner is extremely hospitable and offers plenty of information on where to dine out, how to find ATMs without interest fees, and even assists with booking affordable transportation to the airport, among other things. I highly recommend staying here!

- very friendly and welcoming guesthouse manager - very convenient location in the centre, a short walk from most of the city’s landmarks - excellent local restaurant recommendations from guest house manager. He recommended a vegan restaurant nearby and it served the best vegan food we’ve ever eaten anywhere! - super clean and very large spacious room - cool view of local neighbourhood from fourth floor where we stayed - shared bathroom was cleaned throughout the day so it was always very clean and tidy - extremely helpful manager and housekeeper. They very kindly offered to help carry our bags up and down the flights of stairs. - there is no kettle in the room but you can use the kettle in the kitchen downstairs if needed - a real taste of local life in the nearby lively streets

United KingdomThe hosts truly couldn't have been more kind and welcoming. They really went out their way to ensure we had a brilliant stay and were so considerate - they are such lovely people! The rooms are incredibly clean and comfortable, with such thoughtful amenities. The bathrooms are also really clean, with hot showers, and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are offered. The homestay is in a great location in the Old Quarter. We also had laundry done here for a bargain price, and it came back smelling delightful! This was our best accommodation experience in Vietnam - thank you so much!😁

Czech RepublicThe homestay was amazing. Khai and his family was willing to help us with anything we needed and they were doing so always with a big smile on their faces. The room was absolutely sufficient and clean. It was close to all the city highlights and we also got some good tips for quality restaurants. Finally, Khai also willingly sent our postcards (and paid a few extra dongs because we inadvertently used less stamps) as we didn't have time to get them to the post office before we left Hanoi. I would definitely stay here again and I could recommend to everyone to do so.

SingaporeDoors are not easily closed. There was times when doors were slammed on other floors and I woke up several times.
Excellent service and cleanliness. Housekeeper cleans after each shower to keep the toilet/bathroom dry. Essentials are provided - adapter, toiletries, water… sufficient number of hangers. Extremely spacious rooms. Blackout curtains is a plus. Good for backpackers. There were fans and air-conditioner.

BelgiumEven though the neighbourhood is quiet, pack some earplugs as you can sometimes hear trains passing or meowing cats on the balconies. Towel and blanket provided but weirdly no bed sheet, unless they consider the bed mattress protection as a bed sheet and clean it (it looked and smelled clean).
Really nice homestay kept by a friendly family. The husband speaks English. No elevator but they help you with carrying your bags upstairs. Just next to the old quarter but in a quiet side street. Clean bedrooms with air-conditioning and uv lamp for mosquitos. The shared bathrooms are cleaned after someone showers so it's always clean and dry. There is one bathroom for each 2 rooms, so you don't really have to wait to be able to use one

SpainThe room was really clean and comfortable, plenty of sockets to charge your stuff. The bathroom is shared with one more room but always found it spotless. The people who run the homestay are really welcoming and will give you plenty tips to explore the city. Because it's tucked away in an alley it's quiet during the night. The pictures match the rooms irl. Good value for money in my opinion. The accommodation offer in Hanoi can be overwhelming but this place will not disappoint.
