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 KingdomWe loved this hotel. Upon arriving via a taxi, staff immediately greeted us and helped us with our bags. We were provided a welcome tea, and then helped to our room. All of the staff were very kind and welcoming. The room itself was lovely, with plenty of storage space and it larger than expected. Despite being in the busy centre, the room was very quiet and we didn’t hear any noise from traffic etc. The hotel is situated in an ideal location, within walking distance to everything. We also enjoyed the breakfast too. Overall we’d definitely recommend this hotel and would return!

United KingdomLovely hotel in a quiet location, and easy walking for old quarter sightseeing. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and had a lovely ensuite bathroom. The whole place is tastefully decorated. There was a good selection available for breakfast buffet. Very friendly staff, especially Ms Lena Pham. They let us check-in early without charge, and also stored some of our luggage whilst we went on a week's tour. In total, we stayed 3 nights and we were very happy with this place. They also organised a transfer to Ninh Binh for us.

United KingdomFrom arriving to leaving, the hotel staff could not have been any more helpful or do enough for you. The room was very spacious and exceptionally clean. The breakfast area was very nice, food plentiful with a good choice. The Esplendor is in an ideal situation within the old quarter of Hanoi, providing easy access to Ho Hoan Kiem Lake, the Red Bridge and temple, Train Street, the water puppet theatre and the Hanoi Hilton (the old prison), all within 5 to 15 minutes on foot. We would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in Hanoi.

SingaporeIf I must mention, others commented about the reed diffuser used in your hotel. You might want to consider changing it as it’s not easily accepted to all but I’m okay with it 😂
Splendid service rendered by the hotel’s staff: Kris Such a dedicated and thoughtful staff are rare gems in the hotel industry. He has helped us a lot in taking care of issues we had during our stay. We booked 3 nights stay but ended up staying only 2 nights as plans changed. Esplendor hotel upgraded our room and gave us room on 5th floor. I must say I booked the Junior suite twin room because of the balcony. It’s so pretty and instagrammable! The interior and furniture exudes a flair of bohemian and Victorian vibes. Their lobby, and restaurant where we have our buffet breakfast got the exact vibes. You can dress yourself like a little princess and take nice photos there. Just that for us, we didn’t have time to enjoy taking lots of photos in esplendor. We reach the hotel very late because of our trip back from sapa. But we were greeted by the smiling Kris and his bell boy colleague who helped us with our heavy luggages. I explained that my iPhone is dead and could not contact esplendor to inform our arrival time. And also wanted to cancel our Ninh Binh day tour the next day. We left a message the night before via hotel’s website. So firstly he provided the keys to our room and orientated the details from breakfast to reception to check out. The bell boy helped to move our luggage upstairs. While I look for my dead iPhone to pass to Kris. Then he asked if I mind telling him what happened to my iPhone. He offered to help me to bring to shops in Hanoi to troubleshoot and I can tell him later if I accept the repair costs. I said I like to look for a spare phone too. And he understood and took my friend’s phone no. to update. I was very grateful for his gestures as photos and contacts in the phone were the most important and I will need time to go around sourcing a shop to repair, plus the language barrier. He used his personal time for all these!
