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.).

New ZealandBe mindful if you hire a scooter. The brake wasn’t as responsive as I would have liked and I should have double checked. But I was able to use it without issue. But otherwise no complaints.
Good facilities. The dorms had good AC and were comfortable. Mostly clean, which is hard when you consider dorms are hard to keep clean. Good storage to store your bags which was secure. Also space to hang towels or wet gear. A very proximal location to Tam Coc and anything you might want to do.

United KingdomCould hear a couple below me in the dorm having sex one night which was really annoying as they were quite loud. I know this isn’t a reflection of the hostel itself but possibly a better policy could be put in place to deter this.
The staff are so friendly and helpful. Easily store bags, hire bikes, book tours, restaurant, pool. Everything you need. Rooms are lovely and big lockers. Nice outdoor showers. Very good location and would have stayed for longer if we had the time.

United KingdomThis is a party hostel, so note that the people you can get tend to be a bit inconsiderate. Slamming doors, talking and turning lights on at 3am in the morning. Sorry to be a grump, but don’t be that guy!
Really huge space. Reception can help you organize everything, a big bar, reasonably priced drinks and good restaurant. Perfect location. It’s also where the VIP night buses pick you up from which is a plus.

United StatesNot exactly the best social vibe. There were many many groups of young travelers that all stayed within their own group and not really any way to meet others as a solo traveler. The facilities, while clean, are a bit worn down, such as slow hot water in the shower.
The staff took care of all the needs I had. I was given a towel and a separate shower to clean up before taking a night bus which I very much appreciate. Location is close to many restaurants in Tam Coc.

We had an amazing stay at the lovely hostel that we got recommended by a friend. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We booked a night bus through the hostel and we were able to use a shower + towel in the evening to feel fresh before jumping on the bus. The room was spacious and we loved the bed which was very comfortable and had a big size. Everything was clean and we got a locker for our luggage. Outside, you can find a nice pool area as well as a restaurant where you can get western food. It was delicious!!

AustraliaI think I had one of the old private rooms which has been converted to a dorm, these rooms are not spacious. The top bunk had a very tally ladder to climb onto the end of the bed.
The location was great and so was the restaurant and pool area.

SpainEven though they had fans and AC in the room, it was still quite warm at night in the room.
The pool area is very nice. The location is great. They offer tours, transportation, bike & motorbike renting too. You can contact them through WhatsApp and the answer is almost immediate.

Love it how they had mattresses layed out for the people who arrived at night, including me (arrived at 3am). Because of this I was able to sleep until 9ish so that was a great start of the day. The accomodation is pretty clean, ac is working, restaurant has amazing food and overall the vibe at the hostel is really great! Great to get social with other backpackers!

ItalyThe only thing is that it would be nice that the stuff speak a bit more and a bit clearer English, since we had some problems understanding where to go or what we could find in the attractions due to language barrier. Despite this, everything was eventually solved with a bit of effort and map!!
Despite being a hostel, it was super clean and comfortable. Perfect position to reach the city and the attractions which are mostly nearby the hostel. They offer good services as motorbike/bicycles and laundry at fare prices. Totally suggested
