Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

I ended up staying here 3 times whilst in Vietnam. It’s a great hostel. Nice and clean, good size rooms, good location. The staff were what made it for me. Always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. They booked a few of my tours and I had the best time on them! Thank you for all of your help!

The room size itself is slightly small, making it a bit cramped IF your room was full (but not as issue for me).
Probably one the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Extremely clean, towels are changed regularly, breakfast was very tasty always, staff are super nice, dropped my key down the side of the bed and they quickly fished it out for me, the social activities they just are also really great.

If you have a low social batter it can be a bit too social but it really depends on your personality and preference what you're looking for in a accommodation
Very social hostel. They organise walking tours and pup-crawls every day where it is very easy to meet people and make friends (also free beer in the lobby every evening). Also it was great that I could leave my luggage at the hostel while I was travelling with lighter luggage to Ninh Binh. Staff is very friendly and helpful and I had a great stay while I was there.

The hostel can put a sign for guests that there is a possibility to refill their waterbottle at the bar for free, to reduce plastic waste. There's already so much plastic trash in Vietnam.
Stayed here again when visiting Vietnam for the second time. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean. Comfortable bed. Best location in the Old Quarter. I am happy the hostel removed the yellow ribbon around the towels since my last feedback, I found it not very environmentally aware.

Toilets and showers were cleaned at 8 am when I needed them, so I’d to go to another floor.
Nice hostel in a side street to the very busy area in Old Quarter. Free walking tour to connect people (walking around Old Quarter, going to a local market and visiting train street). Beds were comfy, AC was good and there were plugs and a small locker for personal items close to the mattress and a huge locker underneath the bed. Breakfast was quite good but nothing fancy for 50k.

If you get a bed on the first floor, there is a lot of noise due to reception on the ground floor and the relaxing area on the same floor.
Staff was pretty nice and showed a lot of patience in explaining the areas / destinations to see.

Roommates setting door so locked is locked but door can be pushed open, which then forces the door bounce/slam whenever anyone enters. Plus, anyone can get in your room
Large communal area at reception/bar. Quieter area on 2nd floor also. Location is very central and down an alley which blocks a lot of the noise from Main Street at night

Good hostel, I liked the female dorms on the last floor, beds are comfortable. Location is ok if it’s your first time in Hanoi, but I’d suggest to explore other areas. The old quarter is just for tourists with a lot of tourist traps.

The top bunks don’t have a rail on one side and aren’t always against a wall which is disconcerting.
The beds are actually comfy which hasn’t been a norm in hostels, it’s clean (bedrooms and bathroom) Upstairs lounge is more chill quiet space and then there’s the social downstairs with free beer (at 6:30)
