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.).

United StatesEvery single thing was simply delightful!
Gorgeous, luxury ecolodge in a glorious setting! Topas Ecolodge delivers on its premium price in every way. Throughout my entire stay, I felt pampered, relaxed, and happy. From the pool with an amazing view and Vietnamese flute music each evening to the complimentary sundowner snacks and drinks to the delicious food in the restaurants. I marveled at each new delight. The Vietnamese vegan offerings on the Stilt House lunch and dinner menu were delightful. The "Viet-Western" steak menu at the 360 Restaurant was one of the best meals I've ever had anywhere. The breakfast buffet was varied, delicious, and included plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. My treatments in the spa were heavenly and well worth the luxury hotel prices. The "chalet style" Premium Executive Bungalow was cozy, rustic, and still luxuriously comfortable. I hope the universe will allow me to return to Topas Ecolodge in the future.

What a stunning property. If you are in north of Vietnam you have to make the special trip to Sa Pa and you have to stay at the Topas Eco Lodge. It’s hard to put into words how beautiful this property is and how environmentally aware they are. All staff are from the local communities and they have a clear and practical view of sustainability. They make you feel right at home. Definitely do the hikes and activities with Hai. He is an amazing guide and shares great stories about the region and its people.

PhilippinesStaying at Topas was everything we hoped for. The pool was nice and heated. We used it alot even under chilly weather. The views from the private pool were beautiful. Love the breakfast choices. Walking around the ecolodge was great and gave me nice opportunities to take pics of the mountains from different angles. The location is just perfect, it made our stay there unforgettable.

United StatesEverything about this property is a 10 plus! We loved the staff from the General Manager (Reto), the Assistant General Manager (Nang), the Restaurant Manager (Le Hoang), the Executive Chef (Benjamin) and The Travel desk team (Kevin) along with the reception desk staff as this crew knows how to take care of guests and their every need. The property itself is amazing but the hospitality extended by all staff was truly impeccable. Other than special people, the food was fabulous, the spa was incredible and the pools were spectacular. Highly recommend for anybody that is seeking a magical experience in a picturesque setting. The bungalows were spacious and all had incredible views and were extremely comfortable for any duration of a stay.

United StatesI think it would be better if there is more facility shuttle availability to downtown, especially for evening time. There are more morning trip but not much in the evening so we would need to call a taxi to go home from downtown Lao Cai
I really enjoy the entire resort area. Beautiful scenic view everywhere. Love that you can walk around easily to enjoy the scene. The food at the restaurant was great quality. We had dinner every day at Stiff House and it was great. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. This was a perfect vacation spot for us to relax and enjoy the facility entirely without needing to go out and explore too much. All the staff were so accommodating and polite. I greatly appreciate them letting us check in early.

United KingdomA really gorgeous and unique place. A truly stunning location with views to die for ( when it's not too cloudy). The accommodation, facilities and staff are all incredible It's a long journey to get there but worth it. The food is of the highest quality and if you are staying for a few days there are plenty of choices. The ethos of the Topas Ecolodge and the way it is embedded in the local community is also worth knowing about. A memorable and wonderful place to stay.

AustraliaTopas Ecolodge is a stunning boutique resort nestled atop a hillside in Hoang Lien National Park, offering a unique blend of Scandinavian minimalism and Vietnamese charm. The bungalows provide stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, The ecolodge's commitment to sustainability is evident in its eco-friendly practices and support for local communities. The infinity pool is a highlight, offering views that make you feel like you're swimming in the clouds. Dining options are limited to the lodge's restaurants, although the food here was exceptional. We loved the cozy feel of the lodge to have a pre-dinner drink. The experience is definitely worth the price.
