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 was excellent—within walking distance to convenience stores, ATMs, and the main tourist area
There’s no lift, so we had to carry our luggage all the way from the ground floor to the 4th floor

Verified reviewEverything, the top floor balcony room was modern, clean, high ceiling in room and the bed was so comfortable. The location is within walking distance of everything, balcony part enclosed, not like the photo, but the opening views of the river are amazing. Mr Hahn was so lovely and helpful, arranged laundry and taxi for me.
Nothing, loved my stay.

Verified review- Location is excellent, very close to Old Town but still relatively peaceful and quiet and with many eateries nearby - Budget friendly - Staff is very helpful and responsive via the Booking app, although sometimes too insistent to sell tours - Wifi was decent, smart TV allows you to connect your phone to TV
- Cleaning of the room was very superficial and replacement of toiletries was inconsistent - Common kitchen was very dirty, although I guess it’s also fault of other guests - Bathroom window would splash water to the living room when opened - River view room didn’t actually have much view to the river due to a large tree in the front. I mean don’t take the tree out, but perhaps don’t advertise it as river view - Mattress was very hard although I guess it can’t be helped in Vietnamese style hotels

Verified reviewThe location was great—close to everything we needed. The owner was very nice and helpful, always making sure we were comfortable. When we needed a kettle, desk, and chair, she provided them quickly. The room was on the 3rd floor, so we had to climb stairs, but we didn’t mind it—though it might be a bit tough for older guests. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
One morning the water was cut off for a few hours, which was inconvenient, but the owner resolved it quickly. There was a constant noise from the roof that made it hard to sleep on two nights. We also expected a proper balcony to relax in the evenings, but it had been turned into something else (see photo). Some of the room features listed online weren’t there when we arrived. It would be helpful to update the room photos and descriptions so that guests know what to expect.

Walk up units, no coffee in the rooms.

Verified reviewPerfect location and beautiful large rooms overlooking the river. Staff were very welcoming and super helpful, even organising a car for us at discounted rate to Danang.
Bathroom had some mould on the ceiling just due to lack of ventilation, wasn’t a big deal and shower had good water pressure

Verified reviewConvenient location, near old town. Nice staff. Secured motorcycle parking inside the lobby at night. Comfortable bed. Nice warm water shower with good water pressure.
The ‘window’ is to a narrow area well. The room smelled a little musty.
