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.).

AustraliaWe would have liked to stay longer,but our schedule did not allow this
The staff were extremely helpful and reliably communicated with us & assisted us with private transfer to Haiphong airport (coordinated taxi/ferry/taxi for us seamlessly) This was much appreciated especially since we don’t speak Vietnamese.

Breakfasts are marvelous (pancakes are must try). The team is doing their best to help the guests in all requests: motorbike rental, boat trips, buses, island tours. Would love to stay here again.

United KingdomReally clean room and pool area. Pretty courtyard. It's about 20 mins walk from the centre which means the noise you hear was of everyday life, rather than bars etc. We really liked it here and stayed an extra day.

GermanyWe had a very nice stay at Lynh's Villa. The building is very modern and is located a bit up on a hill - so it is mostly quiet. To get to the center of Cat Ba Town it takes a 10 to 15 minutes walk. Everything was clean and there is enough space for all tourists. We easily rented 2 scooter at the hotel and explored the island by ourselves. We can definietly recommend this place, if you are looking for a comfortable stay not directly in the center.

ItalyAt arrival the weather was humid and the whole hotel is wet, floors wall etc. The bed stayed, miraculously, dry. Not a problem only of this hotel, also all the restuaurants etc were wet. Keep your hotel door and window closed ! Most of the staff did not speak english, too bad because it could have made the stay more comfortable.
Clean and bright property. The staff is welcoming. It is a 15 minute walk, hilly, to the commercial town for all the restaurants (or rent a scooter at the property). We hired scooters at the property and booked a Cruise day tour with them. The mango pancakes in the morning were the best !

CanadaOverall service was not so great: they forgot to make our room when we were there, we had to go ask them for toilet paper and we did some laundry that we had to remind them a few times for them to bring back our clothes. Not terrible, but not great.
Very nice charming hotel and comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. They also were responsive to help us retrieve something we left in the room after leaving by shipping it to another place in Vietnam and that was fantastic.

Hong KongOne of our rooms didn’t have a separate shower (door) so the whole bathroom got wet. Balcony side can be noisy from garden. Other guests were smoking below us on their balcony and the smell came up (not hotel’s fault).
Balcony room. Nice view from roof. Wonderful staff. Mango pancakes were amazing. Organised a nice boat trip for us.

United KingdomNothing. This is a beautiful hotel and exceptional value for money.
The hotel is set back from the main road, around a beautiful and peaceful courtyard. There is a lovely rooftop swimming pool. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. We wished we could have stayed longer. The location is a short walk in to Cat Hai where there are plenty of restaurants and bars. Breakfast was included - fresh fruit, eggs and pancakes (delicious) as well as Vietnamese options. We didn’t realise before we arrived at Lynh’s Villa but they also offer mopeds and can arrange tours for you.
