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.).

New ZealandOverall, very happy with our stay. We booked 3 rooms, all were great.
Great hotel, the best location! Walking distance to everything within Hanoi Old Quarter, rooms are as pictured a little older, but for the price you pay and its location, it's excellent! Great breakfast! Small buffet, and you can order Westen meals off the menu as well as the best Pho, all included in your stay. Cool bars, restraunts, and shops all within walking distance. Rooms were clean and have AC and fans, small hotel, like most in the area, Great spot for quick transfers to Halong Bay or anywhere you need to go. The manager is excellent, very helpful with organizing transfers etc, we stayed a night then went on a Halong Bay cruise for 2 nights, were able to leave our larger bags and pick them up when we returned to Hanoi and stayed another night.

Stayed here several occasions visiting Hanoi and for value it's the best.. Exceptionally clean. Great location, on the edge of the old quarter. Breakfast was an additional bonus . Must mention an early check in after a long flight was accommodating. Peter the manager and staff are very helpful supplying us with a takeaway breakfast. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We liked our whole stay at Hanoi Hotel Royal, the receptionist was very good in all aspects, the food was great, the room were clean. Highly recommended, the staff even let as check in so early, we arrived at 7am and he let us check in even our real time booking is 1pm. He even offer us to leave luggage after our check out after he knew that our sleeper bus going to Sapa is at 10pm. Great service!

MalaysiaAir conditioning could be colder, but a cooler was provided, so it wasn't a showstopper. It will be better if they can add a mirror in the room. Highly recommend for the friendly service and warm welcome!
My recent, albeit short, stay at Hanoi Hotel Royal was truly delightful, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a fantastic experience. The hotel's interior is wonderfully cozy, creating a very inviting atmosphere. What truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service, particularly from Mr. Peter. He was incredibly helpful in guiding me on the location and was remarkably prompt in responding to all my messages and inquiries. This level of attentiveness truly made a difference. It's clear that the staff at Hanoi Hotel Royal genuinely take care of their customers. Beyond the friendly service, the breakfast was delicious, offering a great start to each day, and my room was impeccably clean and pretty. For anyone looking for a hotel in Hanoi that offers friendly service, comfortable surroundings, and a commitment to customer satisfaction, Hanoi Hotel Royal is an excellent choice.

RussiaFrom the nuances - not exactly perfect cleanliness. When you just come from the airport, it is somehow visible...that there is hair on the floor, on the ‘decor’ cushions too, there is like a mini closed balcony, probably for those who smoke, there were nails...I apologise to the hotel for writing so openly, but it really catches the eye. But it should be said not for a long time-after a walk in the city, to which is very dirty, you come back and a little bit on it already look but another😅 more tolerant that is)))) although maybe it is only in our arrival so was, and at other times perfect cleanliness.
The location is very good — it's right in the centre of the old market. Taxis don't come right to the doorstep, but it takes less than a minute to walk. The staff are nice and we were checked in quickly. The room was ready early, which was nice after the flight. I would also like to mention the delicious and plentiful breakfast, which is included in the price. You can choose European or Asian breakfast options, which are freshly cooked. There is also a buffet with a wide selection of food, including fruit and sweets. I would also like to mention the good brewed coffee. You can pay in the hotel with cash or card, with a small commission. I would like to mention that the room was rather large, spacious and very comfortable. Regarding noise, there was some, but that's to be expected in Vietnam.

SingaporeLocation was good but you could miss it as it was tucked away in an alley. Breakfast was exceptional—a delicious and diverse spread, including a delightful Vietnamese option. The generous portions from their extensive breakfast menu were more than enough for our family of four, and the manager, Peter, was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed.

AustraliaOur stay included a Friday & Saturday night. There was a bit of Karaoke on Friday. It ended around 9pm. Plugs in the room need updating. By no means a reason not to stay. We would absolutely come back.
The list of what we loved about this hotel is very long! Sparkling Clean. Room was exactly like the pictures. All staff especially the Manager (Peter) were very attentive. There was a great deal of care taken to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was brilliant and there was lots of it! It included a buffet of fruits as well as menu options. The location was the best. Minutes to the lake, puppet theater etc. convenience store nearby for water. Mountains of eateries outside. We were in room 501. It was amazingly quiet considering the chaos outside. The hotel is down a laneway and off the main road and that definitely helps with keeping the room quiet. Room 501 was on the top floor and at the back. It has a cute little balcony. Peter organised an airport transfer for us. It was so nice to have someone there to collect us after a very long flight. He also booked us a limousine (minibus type vehicle) to Haiphong.
