How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The host couple were super kind, helpful and supportive to us as my bike broke down in the next town and she arranged for a car to collect us and a taxi for us to go back and collect our bikes. Additionally the food was one of the tastiest we had in Vietnam - beef noodles and a sandwich for breakfast for a good price with clean and comfortable private room. We recommend Hava stay private or dorm - they looked very comfortable too with curtains for privacy.

Vani the owner made us feel so welcome and she was extremely helpful. Finding vegetarian food can be tricky in Lang Son so Vani cooked us a special veggie meal and wouldn't accept any extra payment for it. She speaks great English and helped us arrange our onward travel and accommodation. She's a hero and her cosy homestay is a must.

The plumbing of the shared bathroom could have been better maintained but it didn’t ruin the overall positive experience. The homestay provided the friendliness, warmth, and safety that I needed to recoup during my long travel.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful. The homestay is run by a young English teacher, her husband, and her mom. They provided shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and body wash for communal use in all the shared bathrooms. The toiletries were in large containers that are more sustainable than the individually wrapped toiletries that other hotels usually provide. They also gave tips of where to go, what to eat, and things to do. Their motorbike rental cost is reasonable. The staff helped me book the transportation needed for my next leg of the trip. They also let me use their phone when mine didn’t work and I needed to be in contact with the airlines about my bookings. Overall, a really warm environment.

- • Group
- • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The other guests didn't respect the rules. At 3 am they still played videos with sound on, disrupting other people's sleep. And at 7 am they made loud noise too. The AC wasn't always on either, I guess others must have turned it off at midnight, making it very hot and difficult to breathe. I know this is beyond the host's control, so no blame on the property. Just a heads up that you might want to book a private room instead for privacy and comfort.
The homestay is in a central location. The dorm bed is comfortable enough for 2 people. The shared restroom is clean. Hosts are friendly and willing to help. Very cheap price for a short night stay.
