Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

CanadaGreat value! Comfortable, clean, bright and spacious rooms. Super friendly and helpful staff! Nice quiet location with views of the bay. Short walk to the street with all the restaurants- but hilly. Great for a calf workout! I like it

Czech RepublicThe breakfast was very bland without many options The room wasn’t cleaned very well.
The location is great for the boar cruises, 5 min walk to the harbour. It is 25 mins walk to the “city center” for restaurants etc. However they rent motorbikes for reasonable price which is great! The facility is okey for 1 or 2 nights

ThailandSomewhat out of town but close to the Harbour. Rooms looking a little dated but good enough. Breakfast was a little basic.

United KingdomThe hotel is located near Bến Bèo, the port from which cruises to Lan Ha Bay depart. It’s 20 minutes away on foot (steep uphill and downhill) from the central part of town. The town is currently a massive construction site, they are building on the sea and who knows when they will finish, so maybe it’s a good idea to stay on this side. The hotel has nice views and a great panoramic rooftop. The rooms, however, are strangely designed and look patched-up. Some things are new, some old, some look completely random (blue ceiling lights, weird shower controls). As often happens in Vietnam, housekeeping is extremely superficial. There was a lot of dust around, the bathroom looked a bit dirty, so did the coffee cups. The fridge was noisy so we unplugged it. Breakfast is ok with a choice of eggs and a few more items on a buffet, but quite limited. Quân, one of the receptionists/managers was very nice and personable. They still had a Christmas tree at the entrance (we stayed in late March), which felt quite odd, and tells a lot about their attention to decoration. 😁 Cát Bà is in general very unappealing and I’m sure it will get even worse if they keep building it up.

United StatesCan be a little cleaner, bedsheet had stains which they quickly addressed so that was fine. You can hear any hallway noises from the room but it didn’t bug us too much.
Viewsss were amazing. Make sure to book sea view and request corner/high floor if you can. Most of Cat Ba is under construction so this was nice to have unobstructed views of the bay unlike the city center. The center was still just a quick walk/motorbike. Staff were nice and helpful. Breakfast was good. Great value!

ItalyWe stayed 2 nights and room was not cleaned when we run out of toilet paper end of second day I had to go downstairs to ask for it, it’s not what I’m expecting from a hotel. Breakfast was very basic, dried- out pancakes and no jam or chocolate, only honey.
Receptionist was kind

RomaniaThe air conditioner didn't work for heat, and it was quite cold in the room in February. We also had issue with water as the hot water was at low pressure and after 30 seconds was turning into cold. The laundry services were promised to be done within 24 hours, but the clothes were not ready. As we had to leave that day, we took the wet closes. There were not good washed neither
We really liked the view and the cleaness in the room. The location is closer to the pier, where all the lan ha bay cruises starting from. The staff was helpful and hospitable. The guys at the reception helped us with the transfer to ninh binh and give a hand with carrying luggages. The breakfast was ok. We opted for fresh tasty fruits and green salad, and they were cooking eggs for us (scramble, omlete, fried)

CanadaLots of room for improvement. This hotel can be summarized by: very good appearances but fails to deliver. For example, fancy looking showerheads but terrible water pressure. Shiny big TVs that don’t work. Nice wooden tables that you can’t fit your legs under. Glass mugs that cracked as soon as we put hot water in. We asked for housekeeping (just fresh towels and toilet paper - not even room cleaning) three times and did not receive it. This is a new hotel but the staff could focus on making things smoother and more functional.
The service was good and the people running the hotel were very kind. Nice rooftop balcony.
