How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It’s a very good price and easy walking distance to the train station. I left my electric razor and the owner was kind enough to get on his bike and bring it to me before my train came, how kind of him.

She tried to trick me for the money. I put 250.000 on the counter, acting like is doing something else and then came back to the table and said to me, that I didn't give enough and that I gave 10.000 instead of 100.000. But I was sure about it. Then she said, that I don't know the money. Always check money both, before leaving. Another way of a scam, that I learned.

Maybe location? I couldn’t find any decent dinner places or street food close by. Tried the Korean place 2 doors down from KFC - terrible!! But it would be a short cab ride to find good places. A chair and table on the balconies would be a nice touch.
You couldn’t ask for better people! Seriously! Kind, warm, energetic.

Everything. We got a free upgrade to a family room and balcony. The room was huge with fridge, big satellite TV, kettle. The bed was so comfortable. The aircon was great plus we got an extra fan in the room. There was lots of hot water throughout the day. WI-FI was excellent. The staff were so friendly but also very relaxed and just let us enjoy our stay. We also rented a bike from them at a good price. One of the best rooms we have had in our 12 months travelling South East Asia.

Good, suitable breakfast included in price and easy access to train and bus. The hosts were lovely and went out of their way to help and were very easy going. I was unwell and they assisted in every way possible to assist me. Easy to hire bikes. They allowed us to check in early and upgraded our room. They also allowed us to hang around and store bags as we left later at night. Very genuine people. All in all very pleasant stay and would stay again.

Unfortunately the lake in front of the hotel is under construction so it was kinda hard to get to the hotel. We still had places to park the car though ☺️
This place was wonderful, a bit old-fashioned but really comfortable. The lovely hosts helped us a lot in finding where to eat or what to do. They can talk in English, not much but enough to guide you somewhere to play.

This is NOT something I don't like but had to fill it in for review - more of a heads up. Everyone was super nice in these parts but please don't expect many of them to speak English if you don't speak Vietnamese ;) I managed to buy a ticket because the (very sharp!) person at the station must have met many tourists who can barely say thank you in Vietnamese. We got along with pen and paper. Handy tip. Otherwise, loved the people here - friendly bunch. If you're asked if you want a ride while walking always gently say / sign no thank you if you don't need one...always. They only ask once.
The owners were great and very helpful. We communicated in English 😃 Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty and filling. I needed to be next to station (Ga Ninh Binh) so location was ideal. Owner also rents bikes and motorcycles for good reason, it really is a great way to enjoy this part of the world.
