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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaWe booked a river view with a balcony and got an indoor room but due to our limited stay we didn’t complain as we were just putting out heads down after a long journey. I just feel it shouldn’t be advertised as a room I booked and we not get what we booked. Other than that the property and the owner was lovely, accommodating and welcoming.
The property was great however it was not as per the photos

United StatesThe view from the rooftop is wonderful! I arrived in the evening, got picked up from the bus stop for free (it was 4-5 mins motorcycle ride). There is family dinner every night, which helps to connect with other travelers. I attended to a cave tour arranged by the owner, Linh, and it was definitely an unforgettable day! She also arranged my bus to Ninh Binh. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay, highly recommended!

Russia- Our room was not exactly what was promised on booking.com. On the third night of our stay, hotel manager was able to change our room to the one we expected. (all rooms very fully occupied due to the public holiday)
The owner and the manager of the hotel is very helpful and professional. She helped us to find a taxi to get to the hotel from the center of the town, in the middle of the night, since we arrived to the town very late. She also has many tours in the hotel, organized by herself. She speaks good English and all the questions and problems can be addressed directly to her. She will answer any time of the day - Motorbikes for rent can be organized by the hotel itself - Good free breakfast at the hotel with Western food - there is a nice roof top in the hotel, where you can chill, have a drink and look at the amazing view of the Phong Nha - The hotel is in the quiet area of Phong Nha - A lot of restaurants within the walking distance from the hotel

BelgiumNormally I am too lazy to write a review, but this hostel just goes above and beyond for its guests. The way the rooms, pool, bathrooms and comon area are located are perfect, good beds, cute coffee shop but the best this hostels has to offer is its owner Linh. This guy is so passionate about the hostel. Remember every name, helps where she can, knows everything and she makes it so easy to get the guests talking to eachother. Very social hostel. The best ive been so far

The host was absolutely extraordinary, Linh's commitment to helping us organise trips and buses was phenomenal despite personal circumstances. I cannot recommend this hostel enough. The true definition of a home stay! The location of the hostel is fabulous and the atmosphere to make friends is great. The social areas are really well equipped with a pool table and other games. My favourite hostel in Vietnam!

VietnamIf I could give it more than 5 stars I would! This place litteraly felt like home. Linh, the owner, is AMAZING. So welcoming and proud of her beautiful hostel which makes her always try to improve the place. He also presents everyone to make it really social and organize good evening activities. The girls at the coffee and the barman are also really great and friendly, and remembers the name of everyone. I could have stayed a year here. + beds, blanket, rooftop, bathrooms and location is amazing.

VietnamMy personal favourite hostel that I have stayed in throughout Asia. The staff go above and beyond for their customers and I felt truly safe and respected. Location is a stones throw from the town, rooms are immaculate and I can't fault one thing. It was the perfect kind of social where you can meet people and truly make friends.

United KingdomHad an excellent stay at this hostel. It’s a lovely setting just back from the river with lots of restaurants nearby and a short cycle into town. Private room was massive with a great view of the mountains from the balcony. Atmosphere sociable but chilled with a good family dinner, staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it if you’re coming to Phong Nha!

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel run by Linh. She is incredibly kind and hospitable, always ensuring her guests feel welcome and well taken care of. I arrived in Phong Nha around 3 AM, and she even arranged for her staff to pick me up, which was a thoughtful gesture. As for the property, the location is excellent, and the hostel itself is clean, spacious, and—as the name suggests—cosy. The breakfast is delicious, and they serve a family-style dinner around 7 PM, which is a great opportunity to meet and connect with other travelers. I would love to come back here again!
