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 KingdomI had a wonderful experience at Hanoi E Central Hotel Boutique. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. The room was clean, stylish, and very comfortable — exactly what you’d want after a day of exploring Hanoi. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the Old Quarter, making it super convenient to walk to all the main attractions, cafes, and local street food spots. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of choices and fresh ingredients. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm hospitality. This hotel is a hidden gem and I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in Hanoi. Highly recommended!

NetherlandsWe came back to the hotel again after 2 days in Cat Ba and were happily surprised with a free room upgrade! They were also super generous with letting us keep one of our suitcases with them while we were away on the short trip. The breakfast was great with lots of options and the room was super comfortable.

NetherlandsWe had a fantastic stay at E Central Hotel in Hanoi. The facilities are perfectly fine – clean, comfortable, and in a great location. But what truly made our experience stand out was the incredible service from Rosie. Even before we arrived in Vietnam, while we were still in the Netherlands, Rosie was already helping us plan our trip. She sent us several tour options for Ban Gioc and Halong Bay, helped us compare them, and made sure everything was arranged in advance. It was such a relief to have everything sorted before we even landed – way less stressful than trying to figure it all out from another country. Via WhatsApp and in real life, she was super helpful, always quick to respond and genuinely caring. She constantly checked in to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. The rest of the staff were also very kind and welcoming, but Rosie truly went above and beyond. She elevated our entire Hanoi experience and made it unforgettable. Highly recommend this hotel – especially if you value that extra level of personal care and service!

The staff here are genuinely kind and hospitable making you feel like home. A big shout out to Rosie who not only helped us plan all our trips but is available to contact at anytime and prompt in her replies. Location is ideal in old quarter with easy in and out as it is close to the main road.

AustraliaWhat a touch of luxury! I was thoroughly spoilt and pampered by every single staff member at E Central. This hotel offers everything you could wish for - comfy beds, air con, hot showers, bottled water, a kettle, excellent wifi, and the most delicious breakfast menu. The boys courteously open the doors for you and take your luggage, and Rosie and the other members at the desk treat you like family. And the location is brilliant - only 5 easy minutes to the gorgeous lake. I'm definitely making the E Central my Hanoi home away from home forever more.

AustraliaThis hotel is in a perfect location for visiting all the important sites of Hanoi. And so close to the beautiful lake and lots of lovely eateries! Apart from the delicious street food, try the delectables at Bread Factory! They are so yum. The staff at E Central are the most lovely I have met in all my travels from south to north in Vietnam. So kind, caring and gracious. They think of everything and genuinely care that you are happy and feel like it is your home away from home. The rooms are so comfortable and the beds are Goldilocks 'just right' haha! Also, I highly recommend the delicious breakfasts - there is plenty of choice to be had! If you want to be spoilt then I can only strongly advocate that you stay here. Many hotels promise a lot but too often fail to deliver and leave one feeling very disappointed - this is NOT one of those hotels.
