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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel was amazingly well located in the middle of Hanoi Old Town. Very comfortable rooms and toilet. And the receptionist Tony was super helpful and friendly with us, he helped us a lot arranging tours and transportation. He really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Will come back again
Nothing to complain

Verified reviewThe location is amazing and in old quarter close to the train street and the night market
I wasn't aware i booked a room without a window and for a claustrophobic person it wasn't easy. Breakfast wasn't ready at 6;30 as mentioned and ended up eating only toasted bread because of my early transfer to an overnight cruise. Only slept a night out of the 4 nights i booked due to work commitments.

Verified reviewThe hotel was very pleasant, with a great location and a spacious room. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was Alicia, who works there. She was incredibly helpful not only with the accommodation itself but also in organizing our trip to Ha Long Bay. She kept us updated about any changes in plans and handled everything quickly and efficiently — when one cruise was canceled, she immediately arranged another one for us. We felt very well taken care of and can wholeheartedly recommend not only the hotel stay but also the support in organizing other activities.
A small drawback was the breakfast – not so much the limited selection, but the fact that when something ran out (like coffee, certain dishes, or even plates), the staff did not replenish it.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in an excellent location easily reachable from most attractions. The hotel is very clean and rooms are descent size. They have an excellent choices for breakfast. All the staff are very attentive, kind and helpful at all times. One member of staff I would say who stood out was Tony. He always went out of his way to make sure all out queries were answered to out full satisfaction. He was also most helpful even during his time-off. Tony also booked couple of trips for us - Halong Bay and Sapa. We had the best time ever. I will not hesitate to say that Tony is a real asset to this hotel. This hotel also has Spa facilities at a discount to staying in this hotel.
There was not much that I didn't like.

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, so attentive while continuing to go a side and beyond. They also helped arrange our tour to Ha Long Bay which was spectacular!! The room was lovely (executive double), daily turn down, great air con, nice bathroom, comfy bed. Breakfast is on the lovely 8th floor, and a delicious spread. The location was perfect to walk everywhere in the Old Quarter and to some museums. So many top local eats and plenty of shopping nearby.
Nothing

Verified reviewThe excellent location and the room. It was excellent value. Having travelled around a lot we spent two nights here and were planning to do a cruise on Lan Ha bay followed by a stay on Cat Ba island. My, who works here on the front desk team, .was absolutely brilliant booking us transport to get to the cruise, a good price for the cruise, a special transfer by tender off the cruise ship to Cat Ba island harbour and to be collected from our hotel on Cat Ba back to the hotel again for our last night in Hanoi. Everything worked perfectly and My stayed in touch by WhatsApp and even arranged for an earlier pick up from Cat Ba when we changed our minds and decided we wanted to have a bit more time in Hanoi on our last full day in Vietnam. Everything was effortless and food pricing too. My has booked us a taxi for the morning to get us to the airport and had spa treatments ready for my better half when. We arrived back in Hanoi. Having organised nearly everything independently on this trip it was great having someone so capable making all those arrangements - thanks My! The rest of the staff here are very friendly and helpful too.
No complaints from us.
