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.).

FranceThe hotel is a bit outside of the city center but a shuttle is at our disposal and taxis are affordable.
The team is extremely caring, kind and smiling. This was a real pleasure to stay at Smarana. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was really good. A premium shuttle is available to go to the city center 👌🏻

South Koreaa hidden jewel of Hanoi, the staff are incredibly well-trained, friendly and attentive 👍 not a second goes by without one of the staff looking after your needs… i was waiting for my Grab driver just 5 minutes away, and Andi and Vincent were there to keep me company with their warm conversations and a glass of water ;) probably the coziest, most intimate venue i’ve ever stayed when it comes to the staff, location, and the 5-star facilities and amenities 🙏🏻

SingaporeTo be honest, I couldn’t think of any.
I am deeply impressed by the overall experience; Be it check-in, breakfast, and room expectations. The staffs at the front desks are all polite, friendly, and welcoming. The staff (who I presumed is the manager) at the 7th Level is extremely attentive and show an extraordinary level of hospitality. He greeted by names, and is very pleasant. I am amazed by all the experiences through my three nights stay. A very much appreciative thank you to the Hotel and staff.

United KingdomThe only thing we though could have been improved upon was the location, having said that it’s a short taxi to the centre of Hanoi, and taxi’s are inexpensive, so it didn’t trouble us too much.
Wow, what can I say, it felt like every little detail was thought of and executed to perfection, from the staff and their extra mile mentality, to the heated toilet seats! Really though, I don’t think they could have done more to make our stay exceptional, I take my hat off to them. In terms of services, I used the spa for a coconut scrub and 90 minute massage, which was fantastic. it’s a little on the pricey side but was worth it I think. The restaurant was impeccable, as was the service, and the food was some of the the nicest we experienced on our trip. Honestly, we felt like royalty. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Hong KongNothing, everything was perfect.
We absolutely loved our stay at Smarana. The front desk staff were super helpful, spoke good English and gave us wonderful recommendations. Everywhere we went we were greeted with the same hospitality. You can tell that the staff really try their best to make you feel welcome and ensure that you enjoy your stay in Hanoi. The staff at the restaurant were extremely polite and we felt totally spoilt! The food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the hotel’s soup of the day choices on both days and were so impressed by the presentation of the dishes, service and taste. We really hope to stay here again!!

TurkeyDuring my visit, I was blown away by the exquisite artistic details throughout this posh boutique hotel. The rooms are perfectly clean, the service is excellent, the fine dining alacarte is superb, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Though it will be more pricey than other hotels but still well WORTH the cost though!

There is one thing that might be done better: the sky bar could open earlier. That hotel was fantastic, and I want to return sometime soon.

Good breakfast options, both eastern and western dishes. Walking distance to many eateries and shops. Not too central to Hanoi, however. Excellent service. Staff were always so courteous. Oh, and of course, the smart toilet seat!

MexicoWe really appreciate the receptionist's assistance from the very first moment of our trip until the very last. She made all of our reservations for us, including the airport shuttle, the Halong Bay tour, the dinner reservations, and all the information we needed. Both times we ate at Le Carpe, the food was delicious and presented beautifully. The sunsets from Lunaire Sky Bar are spectacular, we also unwind in their spa after a long day and have no complaints. And you absolutely DO NOT MISS the Afternoon Tea sets in their lounge. Definitely suggest!

BelgiumThe architecture and setting is impressive, I can enjoy the Vietnamese culture in the olden days through many hanging paintings on the wall. Which is totally Vietnamese, not Chinese, Japan or Western, the part that I have not ever heard or seen before. Now I know one more amazing art call: Hang Trong Folk Painting, I suppose to get one of those in the future and hang it on my house.
