How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Bed was a little on the hard side but we didnt really mind as we like a hard mattress
The staff went above and beyound to help out and spoke good english room service was brilliant/breakfast in bed and complimentary coffee during the day. Location was one of the best weve stayed at for local attractions and eating out would 100% stay here again. Air con stays on even when you leave the room which is a must

Exellent experience! Good location, very convenient to go anywhere in the city,...Room was completely clean and comfortable. Price is also good. It's really a good choice. I couldn't taste the in-room breakfast service because I had arrived a bit late after the breakfast order time, it’s ended at 8:30pm and I only had time to stay here for one night. Luckily, it's not too difficult to find a good restaurant around.

We really enjoyed our stay here a few day ago and this hotel absolutely worth the price. With the mid-range price but we received many services beyond that (free laundry, free drink at lobby/room,...) Everything is good. Nearby Ben Thanh market, you can get nice food areas around there.

There is no free breakfast served here, I imagine because they do not have a dining area. Not a big deal, as there are many close by places to grab something!!!
This hotel went above and beyond during our stay. They have free laundry services which came in very handy in the heat of Ho Chi Minh. The hotel is right across from a park and very close walking to many attractions in District 1, as well as a lot of good food, coffee, etc. on an adjacent street.

The room was a bit small but this was as advertised. Perfect for a stopover night in Saigon.
Just across the road from a park. Lovely to walk in. The other side of the park were many of the main bus tour companies- so very convenient. The staff were beyond helpful.

All good except a bit noisy during weekend (and there was a 2-day convention at the park opposite). Perhaps room could have an electric kettle too.
Friendly staff, clean room, free water & refreshing drinks at the lobby, daily same-day laundry service. Highly recommended for the price!

After 6 weeks in SEA region: still the best place we stayed in! Excellent location (we arrived with night bus, and hotel was just across the small park), could reach everything we wanted easily. Got upgraded to a room, that had a window, and it was perfect. Clean, spacious, everything works, very comfortable. Laundry, which staff washes for free!!! And the staff, absolute best! Always there, always helpful. Upgraded us to a better room without asking. Took care of us and were always present. Gave tips of the city. Pulled some strings and let us prolong for 3 more nights! And many other little things, that really made a difference. We were very happy in this hotel.
