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.).

AustraliaBeautiful location in Tam Coc away from the hustle of the main tourist strip yet still only a short walk/bike ride away. The property was beautiful with gardens and a pool for guest use, along with free bicycles and motorbikes that can be hired for a very reasonable fee. Breakfast was delicious with a few options available to guests to dine in the rooftop eating area with views over the rice paddies and mountains. A leisurely bike ride will take you to Trang An or Mua Caves along with some gorgeous spots around the area. The rooms were comfortable with cooling and heating available for either season and looked out onto the gardens or pool. The hosts were super helpful organising private pick up from the airport and were always available to assist with tours or anything you needed.

IndiaStayed for only 1 night. But it was a big highlight of our overall Vietnam trip. Nga and her family were the loveliest hosts. Would love to visit again someday and I recommend it to everyone visiting Tam Coc. The location was perfect too! Special mentioned to the amazing wholesome homely breakfast they served.

Being a 5 minute walk away from the central location was well worth it since the city is bustling with tourists and loud music.

New ZealandThis is just the most awesome homestay, beautiful owners Nga and her husband and family and wee doggies too. Breakfast was plentiful with the loveliest pancakes and the homemade pineapple jam that Nga makes herself. Room was lovely we had the family bungalow by the pool and a lovely view out onto the paddy fields and the ducks. Ngas relation owns a taxi so he took us everywhere at a really great price and was a lovely friendly man. We miss this piece of paradise and are hoping to come back soon . Thank you for welcoming us into your piece of paradise.

NorwayWe absolutely loved our stay! Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The property is located in a quiet area about 5min walk from the town. View from the property is spectacular. Swimming pool is refreshing. Best of all - the owners! We felt so welcomed by the family, they are all super friendly and helpful. We got so many good recommendations on things to do and where to eat. Bicycles are free to use, which was great. We were also able to rent a scooter. The breakfast is delicious (you can choose one main dish, coffee or tea + you get fruit and fresh mango juice). Try the omelette, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had! We would love to come back!

AustraliaSomewhere to put your things in the bathroom - a little cabinet or shelves - would be good.
The location was perfect looking out over the paddy fields and it was very quiet (except for some late building next door but that finished by our second night). It was wonderful to have the use of the bikes and cycle into town between the rice paddies and the pool to refresh in at the end of the day. The room we had was very comfortable. A stand out was the host Nga. She was very helpful and sat down with us to plan our days. She organised a driver for us and was happy to look after our bags on the day we were leaving so we could go on another excursion. The breakfast was delicious. We would thoroughly recommend.

United KingdomNothing really - i wish it wasn't so hot when i stayed there!
What can I say - Nga was a wonderful host who took care of all my needs and queries without question. I was unwell upon arriving in Tam Coc and when i asked her if she could make some meals for me as i did not want to go to restaurants, she happily obliged and asked after me everyday. On numerous occasions I also had the opportunity to talk and get to know her including her family and her adorable dog - and the place itself is a complete gem! Surrounded by ricefields and the mountainous hills it was so serene and i would highly recommend cycling around there in the evenings with the sunset! You can rent bicycles and scooters (although i stuck to bicycles) and can do laundry additionally. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wishing to visit Ninh Binh and Tam Coc!
