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.).

CanadaThere is nothing not to like.
There are so many great things about the Matilda, but one thing does stand out … the staff! They are the most friendly people and are really are trying to help you anyway they can during your stay. The rooms are comfy and clean. The building is in great condition AND the breakfast is simply the best. This is our second time at the Matilda and will continue to be our go to spot when in Hanoi!

Australiamaybe a misunderstanding but we organized transport to the airport and had to go to the domestic airport but got dropped off at the international airport this caused some confusion and we hurriedly had to get a taxi to go 2 kms to the domestic airport
Breakfast was great, staff were great and very accommodating - we had visa issues so day of arrival had to be rescheduled and the hotel was really good with communication and adaptability. Lovely rooms -we stayed in 2 different ones - both beautiful....well thought out and very clean.

VietnamOne of the best 4-star hotels in the old town: the location is great - right in the middle of all the shops and restaurants, 7 min walk to the lake. Easy to do things from here. We got a room with a balcony and you have a view of the bustling street which is fun! However, the room was very quiet; It was spacious and neat with all the usual amenities. Cable TV with lots of channels, including movie channels. The staff are very kind and professional. They go out of their way to help you book any trip, transport and provide lots of helpful advice. Easy to talk at any time. Definitely and highly recommended!

Great location in the heart of old quarter, very close to “beet street.” The staff were incredible and upgraded us for both nights and let us store our Luggage for free when we went to Sapa. Room was very spacious and the breakfast was nice.

IrelandOnly thing is the laundry service is very expensive but there are plenty cheaper in the locality so this isn't even a negative to me.
A little gem! This hotel is so lovely, excellent value for money. Location couldn't be better, right in Old Quarter but still no noise and the street itself is quieter. Staff are so lovely and helpful - thanks to Hang for being so friendly! The breakfast was great, and they even packed me a little to go breakfast because I was checking out very early! Also be sure to check out the spa - I got two lovely treatments there (guests get a 20% off). If you want value for money, while still retaining all the perks of a comfortable, clean, nicely designed hotel then this is the place for you.

PhilippinesHotel's old and outdated, so sometimes we have small bugs inside the room.
Location is best selling point of this hotel. It's conveniently located near tourist spots, along strip of restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. Staff is very helpful too. Huge shoutout to Hằng for helping substantially with the airport transfers, Grab bookings, and reservation for tours to Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh. Lobby staff is incredible, and makes our stay very very easy.
