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 had an amazing time on Rita Cruises! Alice was very helpful in assisting us to arrange our stay in advance, and also checking in with us during our stay to ensure we had everything we require. On board, the staff were welcoming, engaging and attentive. We particularly enjoyed speaking with Hung, who was professional and enthusiastic! The restaurant manager also went above and beyond to ensure that we could eat confidently with our dietary requirements, and the food was of exceptional quality! This made all the difference during our stay. We stayed for 2 night and 3 days. The activities were well organised and the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting! We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and particularity enjoyed our day trip to a small local village as well as jumping off the day boat! Jay was a fantastic local guide who was clearly passionate about Ha Long Bay and very knowledgeable. The facilities were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We would definitely return to Rita Cruises!

United KingdomYou have to get a small boat to the main boat which wasn’t super clear (or nice) so we were a bit concerned at the time…but then we saw how beautiful the main boat was and all the worry disappeared!
Amazing rooms, lovely staff and of course the most beautiful location. It all just felt very high quality and well done

We loved everything about our Cruise. Helen who attends to the bookings was amazing. She communicated with us from the day we made the booking till we got back to our hotel in Hanoi. She arranged transportation to and from our hotel and thought off everything. I can highly recommend this cruise and hope to go back one day to spend more time in Halong Bay.

United KingdomThe cocktails need work. They certainly weren't luxury, we had better margaritas on beer street in Hanoi. You'd expect a luxury cruise like this to serve high quality cocktails. We were also told to bed at 10.15 by staff who were all, by that time, in their piamas and even serving us behind the bar in their PJs. This put a bit of a downer on the trip for us and is the only reason it didn't get a 10/10
Everything about this screamed luxury. The rooms were beautiful, the beds were so comfortable, food was amazing and the setting is just perfect.

AustraliaOur room needed a little maintenance. There was a small leak in the bathroom and one of the lights was buzzing, however, as the stay was so short we didn’t complain - I am sure they would have fixed it if we did. The food was kind of European style which was a pity for us as we were interested in trying more local dishes. But these are small things and overall we really enjoyed.
As this is the only Ha long bay cruise we did, it’s hard to compare it to anything else. The staff on Rita cruise were outstanding, always on hand for anything we needed. Really enjoyed the activities we did - we did the 2 night option so visited cat ba island on the second day which was really great. I left my bag on the day boat by accident and the boat staff made sure that I got it back the next morning with everything inside which was much appreciated.

From the start of the booking process with Alice ( always prompt to reply to any queries) to the transfer and finally onto the cruise, everything was perfect. All the staff members on the cruise went beyond to make us feel welcome and special. We had a wonderful Xmas party, the staff made Christmas eve a truly special evening. So glad we got to meet Alice on the cruise. A huge thank you to the management and the staff of the Rita cruise for giving us memories for ever.

United KingdomNothing. Couldn’t fault it!
This was the most incredible experience of our lives! Firstly, a beautiful place - Halong Bay is a MUST see. The Rita Cruise itself was the perfect way to do it. We felt the boat was well appointed, luxurious, and had great amenities. Our bathroom was particularly nice, and our private balcony. The views are spectacular. Kayaking and swimming activities great fun. Even two happy hours at the bar! The service, however, was the best part of the whole thing. Every member of staff was so friendly, professional, and couldn’t do enough to help. We were so impressed - thank you Happy and his team!
