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.).

United KingdomThe host Om, is such a sweet, caring and loving person. She lent me a warm jacket and a scarf, as I wasn't prepared for such cold weather in Hanoi. Besides she'd always be offering hot drinks and fresh fruit to us. The house is very quirky and full of character, and the room is very spacious and comfortable. The neighbourhood is nice, lots of cafes and restaurants around, approximately 30min walk to many areas of interest such as the old quarter or the HCM complexe. Highly recommended.

United StatesUnfortunately, we stayed during one of the coldest weeks of the winter and most homes, including Mrs. Hong’s, do not have central heating so it was very cold inside the house. She did provide us with plenty of blankets to keep warm at night. It is a good 30 minute walk to most of the sites, which I was aware of when I booked, but the cold weather made the walk less enjoyable and calling a Grab wasn’t always convenient because the traffic around the city was so bad. Mrs. Hong does offer to do your laundry for 130,000 Dong/Kg. That felt very high so we took our laundry to WorldWash (25,000 Dong/Kg).
Mrs. Hong’s family home is beautiful! And like other reviews mentioned very much feels like an art gallery. She was a very kind and hospitable host. Every morning she served us coffee, fruit and a Vietnamese breakfast dish. She was always available to answer questions and helped us find a driver to the airport. The wi-if worked great and the beds were comfortable. There are several stairs which could be an issue with heavy luggage but we had only backpacks. Our family enjoyed getting to know her and felt honored that she shared her home with us!

United KingdomEverything! The house itself was beautiful, unique and in a great location, close to the Old Quarter but, in my opinion, in a much nicer part of Hanoi. We were made to feel completely at home by Hong who treated us like family! She made us a different Vietnamese dish for breakfast every day, as well as coffee and fruit. The room was spacious and clean with a nice balcony. Although the bathroom was separate from the room, it was right next to it so it felt private. Overall, this was a perfect stay in a unique Homestay. We highly recommend!

LithuaniaIt was one of most amazing experience in Vietnam! The host was so incredible and warm that I felt like at home with my own family. Ms Hong speaks english so it was very interesting to hear more about locals lives. The hause was decorated by her beloved husband who is architectur, so the vibe of the house feels like art galary. Ms. Hong and her huband Mr. Binh are verry friedly, teated us with homemade vietnamiese coffee and tea. I and my wife hope that our friendship with this lovely hosts will last in the future.

United KingdomWe had a lovely time at Tonkin Homestay, the lady who ran the place was super freindly and helpful. She made us tea and we chatted about the lovely decorations in the place which all have a story. As you can see in the pictures the design of the homestay is really unique and beautiful. It felt homely but we also had our privacy and needed rest from the hectic streets of Hanoi. The location is great if you want to avoid the touristic Old Quarter and get a little taste of local life. There was still a great selection of cafes and restaurants nearby to choose from and the old quarter is a short taxi ride away too. The nearby lake is also very beautiful and worth a visit.

Isle of Manbed a little firmer than what I’m used to, but all the other pro’s about this place outweighed this part for me. hence staying a second night
I only planned to stay for one night, but extended and stayed for two. The accommodation was so beautiful and the host Hong was so caring and thoughtful. After travelling for 8 weeks arriving at Tonkin Homestay gave a feeling of being at home :) This place and Hong are hidden gems of Vietnam! Other parts: my room had lots of amenities including bathroom on same floor, AC, fan, fridge, desk and lots of clothes storage, small balcony and good wifi. The bed itself was larger, perhaps firmer than what I’m normally used to but came with plenty of blankets and pillows. The home has lots of stairs which was fine for me but anyone who struggles with stairs might need to double check this as there is no lift. As a solo female traveller I felt safe in this neighbourhood and often walked in daytime and at dark to nearby cafes, atm’s or street food stalls trying lots of local food. There is a small convenience shop across the road and the chicken noodles next door also come recommended (the women working there also very lovely). The water puppet theatre is around 20minute walk at pace and old quarter a little further which I mostly got grab bikes to. Tip for others: There is a quieter train street nearer to central circus (behind Fuji super mart about 6mins south of the homestay) which has more frequent trains and far fewer tourists and good coffee shops. All in all I would highly recommend Tonkin Homestay and hope to return one day soon! :)

Everything. 5 weeks of cycling the coast of Vietnam ended here and it was the most perfect ending. The coolest house, an attraction in itself (you can spend hours just looking at all the cool stuff that adorn the walls) But the family are what make it so special, so caring, considerate and warm.
