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.).

The staff is amazing. They go out of their way to ensure the comfort of their guests. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. Our motorbikes were secure. The location is central to great restaurants and walking distance to Ben Thanh Market. Comfortable beds and the property is set back enough that there is hardly any road noise at night.

AustraliaBathroom and furniture was tired and dated (looks newer in the hotel photos online), bathroom very basic but functional, some stains on our clean towels.
Good value for money for a 2-star hotel, you get what you pay for. Basic but clean with good much needed aircon from the humidity outside. Comfortable and clean pillows and bed, good TV reception, hot water worked in shower.

PolandNoisy: you can hear everything around; was not really dirty, but overall it's okay
The stuff is extremely polite!! First, my card didn't work via Booking and they wrote me a message that they are keeping my reservation for me. Second, the room I've booked was not available (because of the accident) and the property apologised, proposed another room or free cancellation. And even gave me to choose between 2 free rooms. Overall it was not bad, very good located near the centre.

MalaysiaThe water pressure was a little weak (but not uncommon for Hồ Chí Minh city). The "king-sized bed" was actually two single-sized mattresses put together, which was fine. However, they were position perpendicular to how you are positioned to sleep, as oppose to parallel (i.e. the top half of your body would be on one bed while the other half on the second bed, the middle of your body would feel uncomfortable where the edges of the two mattresses meet). This was easily solved by rotating your sleeping position so it would be perpendicular to how the bed was set-up.
The room has a really nice view overlooking the neighbourhood with plenty of natural light that can stream in and brighten up the room during the day (something that is difficult to find at this price range in a city like Hồ Chí Minh city). You get an excellent view of the city from the top floor, where there is a small open-air lounge area to eat and relax. The location is in, what feels like, a very local part of District 1; just a stone's throw away from Thái Bình Market and Bùi Viện street where you have access to plenty of local and non-local food options + nightlife. It is also walkable distance away from some of the major sites of Hồ Chí Minh city. Most importantly, the hotel is tucked away along a small lane, which means you get quite a peaceful night throughout compared to hotels facing main streets. The staff working at the reception are really quick to respond to any issues and the hotel provides very good laundry service at an affordable price (much needed when you're walking around a city that is as hot and humid as Hồ Chí Minh city.)

New ZealandHotel is in an alleyway on a very busy street so accessing it is a bit scary. The walls are quite thin and you could hear people coming and going in the middle of the night. Not accessibility friendly, you have to walk up stairs to your room which wasn't a problem for us but may be for others.
The location of Spotlight Hotel was good and central, room was fairly clean and staff were friendly.

AustraliaThe room I was given is significantly smaller than the one advertised on the website, and it has a very unpleasant odor. The state of the bathroom is unacceptable, it is extremely dirty and unsanitary. Additionally, I was disappointed to find out that the fridge in the hotel room is non-functional, which is unacceptable for the price I paid..

IndiaLack of lift and elderly people find it difficult to climb the stairs for 4th and 5th floors.
A great place to stay and enjoy Ho Chi Minh City. Located in the center of the city, it has all important places near it along with a places for money exchange as well. The staff are polite and very friendly and are always ready to help you with any guidance or booking cabs, trips, etc. The only problem might be that it has only stairs and no lift. So if you get rooms in 4th pr 5th floors it might get difficult for the elderly.

PhilippinesI didn't encounter anything I didn't like about Spotlight Hotel. From the exceptionally helpful hosts to the affordability that makes it such a great deal for solo travelers, my experience was nothing short of delightful.
Had a blast at Spotlight Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam during my four-night stay. It was a very nice experience. The hosts at reception were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made my stay all the more enjoyable. The hotel's location is extremely convenient, making it easy to explore the city's attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and I was particularly satisfied with the breakfast provided each morning.
