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.).

We stayed at the hotel twice during our trip, before and after Ha Long Bay. The first room was fine and they kindly upgraded us for our return trip. The second room was lovely, great view. Kim, Liam, and Phoebe were very helpful. The pool looked nice, but we did not use it. The lift stops at 12, and breakfast, pool, and rooftop bar can be reached by some steps. Breakfast choice was good. We left early on our last day, and they kindly organised a takeaway breakfast. The location is excellent, close to the lake, market, and train street. It is always busy, but we liked the hustle and bustle.

It was like a homecoming. We ended our trip with Rex, just the way we started it. This one was just a one night stint. The way we were received by Rose and Kim, was beautiful and full of warmth. We have decided all our Hanoi trips will be at Rex only.

AustraliaI felt like the bathroom and shower was quite small, so when we showered a bit long the bathroom floor was really wet. There was no bathtub either in the Premier Deluxe Twin Room and the view was meh, so I'd recommend booking a suite if the view matters.
Rex is situated in the heart of the old quarter and is right next to Hoan Kiem lake. It is located very close to Beer Street so here is never a dull moment if you are staying here. The lobby service was the best I have seen in my time in Vietnam and they offer solid money exchange.

United Arab EmiratesOur room didn't have any view at all, it would've been good to get a preview as I would have happily upgraded for a view. Our room had a few issues including shower drain blockage and the AC didn't work at first. The toilet door was also difficult to close. For the price paid we would expect these small things not to be an issue. Although nice, the pool is not very child friendly.
We really liked the location, it is in a very walkable area right in the centre. The staff were also excellent and very friendly. We liked the floor with billiards and table football which gave a great view of the city. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of food for all palettes.

PakistanJust to nitpick if at all, i wish the bathrooms were better ventilated (since the place is very humid) and perhaps if the pool were outdoors that would be great. Nothing that takes away from the place to be honest!
Oh where do i even begin! Kim became my most trusted guide, always with a smile on her face and such helpful suggestions for food, excursions, shopping. Even before the trip she was connected to us with her invaluable tips! Absolute gem ❤️ Rose, we met once we reached and like Kim she also had the best to offer. Hinny(hope im spelling it correctly) from the resturant upstairs was a darling, with her cheeky smile and compliments galore. The location was central and walkable to almost all major things. The beds were super comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. We would drift off almost instantaneously. The Bar area was great with views for days! I would love to come back to it everytime im in Hanoi.

AustraliaUnfortunately the lift does not go beyond level 11 and the breakfast room is on level 12 and the rooftop bar is higher still, which would be difficult for people with medical issues.
Excellent location, everything is at your doorstep. The area is closed off on weekends and becomes a walking area, and is very vibrant with music, street performances, cafes and bars. All the staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful and I highly commend the staff at reception. Good breakfast and the rooms were clean and well stocked.
