Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

AustraliaBeautiful location surrounded by rice fields and mountains. Nice pool area. The breakfast was amazing with a lot of variety and fresh fruits. The rooms were comfortable and good sized. We were able to borrow some bicycles for free to go for a ride to some sights. We did have an issue with some bugs in the bathroom but it wasn't too bad. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Service was above and beyond. The owners were so lovely and hospitable, greeting us with fresh juice every time we returned to the hotel. They let us hang out and use the shower well after we had checked out and even gave us a bag of snacks to take with us. The outdoor shower was a cool feature as well.

- Staff was very friendly, welcoming and thoughtful. Service is excellent. Loved the nightly foot bath and cold tea served at the reception. - Special shout out to Anna the manager who was very helpful in arranging day tours for us in Ninh Binh. She also helped us to secure bus tickets to Hanoi. - The hotel was very clean and quiet, surrounded by lush green paddy fields and limestone mountains. Perfect place to relax and unwind.

The breakfast exceeded our expectations with so much on offer, especially the local Vietnamese cuisine. The bikes to get around were perfect, location nice and quiet but close to everything. We went with our 7 year old daughter and she loved it, especially the pool. Highly recommend.

Also their breakfast are the best we have experienced during our time in Vietnam. Location is gorgeous, just grab one of the bikes they supply and cycle around the rice fields to the river. This was our favourite hotel during our trip. Highly recommend!

I had read reviews for here prior to trip and they lived up to them and more. Really lovely property, wonderful staff: felt well cared for from even before we arrived. Absolutely lovely people. Bungalow was cool, slept well, bathroom good, hot water and clean towels. Breakfast amazing: too much to eat and such wonderful fruits. Pool excellent and needed at the end of the day. Lovely cinnamon tea given to us when we returned from outings. Bikes were so fun and in good repair and made sight seeing so easy. Setting is wonderful: picturesque and feels away from town but still so close. Highlight of Vietnam staying here.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom was clean but our shower head was really old. The handle for the hand shower was broken and was dangling on a zip tie. The water pressure was a bit weak. Otherwise, it worked fine.
The staff was amazing. They provided 5 star service and they were so helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The staff helped us get a personal driver for a day and they also provided laundry service.
