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 KingdomI liked everything except the broken bathroom door which just needs to be screwed back on.
The property was great, it was very clean and we enjoyed the pool table in the evening. The banana pancakes for breakfast were lovely. The lady who owns the home stay was exceptionally helpful and dropped us to the bus station at 4am for free, even giving us each a bag of crisps for the journey which was a lovely gesture!

United KingdomOur toilet bin wasn’t emptied for 3 days when the room was cleaned. Our towels were changed but not the bin which isn’t very nice. My pillow case had stains all over it, as if it hasn’t been washed as i picked one bit of dirt off. When we went downstairs there was no one there to change it luckily i had my own pillow case in my bag to swap it with, but i’m sure if there was someone they would’ve swapped it immediately. The sheet had black stains over it as well and hairs stuck to the bedroom walls. Whenever we went downstairs there was never anyone there, their son took our breakfast order each morning but we don’t think he was working as he was on the sofa playing games on his phone so maybe having someone a bit more present would be great.
Breakfast was really nice the banana pancakes were great. You order from a menu which has traditional foods and then pancakes so we opted for banana pancakes each day and loved them. You also get to choose a drink too which we had tea & milk. Location was great, there is a couple restaurants down the road which are really good if you walk left from the homestay. Quiet location no noise in the evenings. Rented a scooter directly from the homestay. Staff are so friendly, provided us with water for our onwards journey. Room has a fridge and provided with water which was great.

United KingdomOur only small complaint would be the shower which was a little weak, but other than that nothing!
This was an amazing place to stay. The location was perfect. Situated on the outskirts of the town on the riverside, it is perfect for visits to the all the local caves! The hosts were so informative and friendly, we were immediately made to feel at home and were offered pick up from the bus and drop off when we were leaving! The hotel itself was great value for money and had spacious rooms with a great view. The breakfast, especially the banana pancakes were perfect! Despite checking out earlier in the day, we were still able to hire a motorbike and leave our bags at the hotel all day, when we returned, we were given water and Oreos for our bus journey onwards! Amazing! Can’t recommend this place enough!

United KingdomNothing at all we didn’t like. Loved everything.
Everything was perfect. I’m convinced this is the best family in all of Vietnam. Catered to all our needs and invited us to a family party which was perfect. Providing us with lots and lots of happy juice on the house! Vietnamese people are lovely anyway but this family definitely tops it! couldn’t recommend this enough and if we’re ever in phong nha again I will not hesitate to stay here. I hope to see them again. Lots of love Kyle and Lottie.
