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.).

VietnamThe tours in the local area seem expensive compared to the cost if you just do it yourself which is a shame as it would be a good way to meet other travellers. The breakfast isn't included. The airconditioning isn't the best.
Loved this hostel, one of my favourites in Vietnam. It's a great place to meet people and the pool and outdoor area is a real hub for both people staying here and other travellers staying in Tam Coc. There's plenty to explore and do nearby, but it's also great to just spend a few days lazing by the pool. The banana bread and coconut iced coffees are delicious!

United StatesThe food is a little pricey but good. Having free tea or even a free water refill station would be nice. Very few activities and the family dinner was not that great. They could have board games or activities that encourage social activity. It is a big space and they need to have things to do that are social to bring more people together. Honestly, board and card games are the best thing they could do for this place to make it so much better.
This is probably the best hostel to stay at in Ninh Binh and one of the best hostels I have stayed at. The pool is very clean. They are constantly cleaning for hours. The rooms are a perfect size and nice bathroom that was always nice and clean. The beds are very comfy however the coffin style makes it a bit hot. The staff are so friendly and genuinely nice. Perfect Location as well.

IndiaMy favourite Hostel in Vietnam.Its in a scenic location with good options in kitchen. The best staff, they made our experience of Ninh bin so much better, truly the best people we met in Vietnam.Escpecilly Christie from the reception helped us to get to the town and even after two days after we left. My friend misplaced his new Tailor made shirts in the hostel and she helped get it back neatly packed by the time we left. Will definitely come back if I get a chance.

IndiaThe only thing I found lacking was a common room area to socialize which they do have but was under construction when I visited.
Felt more of a resort than a hostel because of the scale of the property and the area beside the pool. Located next to the Tam Coc boat station this was an excellent place to chill out and explore Tam Coc around. The rooms and the property was very well maintained too. The bar was nice too.

ItalyIf it very rainy the water from the balcony enters into the bedrooms. I advised the receptionists that cleaned the bedroom. The bathroom is outside the bedroom
Very friendly and helpful staff that helped me to book the sleeper bus and the receptionist was in contact with the driver to check the exact time and if there any issues. Since I booked the sleeper bus with them, they also gave me the possibility to have a shower after the checkout and they gave me the towel for the shower. Clean rooms and nice location, in the center of Tam Coc. I liked also the bar and the breakfast (excellent oat meal). They have a bike rental service that is very good.

AustraliaThey make you sleep on the floor when the night bus arrives at 4am. The shower in our room had a big gap on the door and the bathroom was complete inundated after a shower. Food was very expensive. Tours were also way too expensive and our tour guide was really inexperienced. We went on a tour and they did a bad scheduling so we had to rush back so other people wouldn’t miss their bus and the easy rider was driving at a less than safe speed.
Pool was nice.
