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 are 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 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.).

The staff waited for us and let us check in in the early morning around 2am. Thank you! I booked this guest house on the same night as we had a sudden change of plans and came to Sapa a day earlier.

United KingdomNo issues.
I had an incredibly enjoyable experience during my three-night stay at this homestay in Sapa last week. The host, who spoke exceptional English, went above and beyond to assist us throughout our stay. Upon our arrival, she promptly helped us book an amazing trek, arranged our onward travel to Hanoi and a moped so that we could go straight out and see the waterfalls which are about a 20 minute drive away., and even provided a delicious breakfast the next morning so we were energised before our trek. As we were about to depart, she efficiently took care of our laundry and miraculously restored our muddy trekking shoes to their original condition after months of hardcore backpacking. The room itself was perfect for our needs, offering a comfortable night's sleep and a refreshing hot shower. It is also in good walking distance from the main town so no worries there I have no complaints and am grateful for her outstanding hospitality.

United KingdomThe room itself was cold with no heating, but plenty of thick blankets provided so actually it wasn’t too cold in bed. The shower was powerful and nice & hot, but only about 5 minutes of hot water. The bed was very firm so quite uncomfortable, but I still managed to get a good nights sleep. Overall, definitely worth the money!
This place was great value for money - just a short walk from the town centre, the lady who runs it was so kind and helpful, she even has a contact at the top of Mount Fansipan who can tell you if it’s foggy up there! She provides a laundry service and also can book treks, Fansipan tickets etc.

CanadaIt gets quite humid in the room so we had to open the windows to try to air it out a little even if it was cold outside. The bathroom is a bit on the small side. I didn’t mind, but you’ll get most of what is in there wet when you shower.
The location was great, the beds were comfortable and they provided big blankets which were needed while we were threre as it was very cold. The family who runs the place is very friendly and helpful. They don’t automatically change your towels, but you can ask to replace them without a problem. Same for more toilet paper. They also offer laundry service for 40k VND/1kg and you get it back the same day.

United StatesWe had a wonderful stay, they had very warm blankets for the cold weather, let us check in late because we arrived on the sleeper bus at about 2am and had warm water for showering. We had a delicious breakfast. After our trek they let us come back and leave our stuff. They helped us book our sleeper back bus to Hanoi and organized all the transportation to the bus. Overall 10/10 the host is so so lovely, welcoming and kind. Would stay here again if I return to Sapa.

Czech RepublicI can't think of anything right now. Maybe some furniture in the rooms could be newer, but that's not what you travel to Sapa for. Overall it's great value for the money and I would stay here again.
We stayed at this hotel during our visit to Sapa in April 2023. It is a friendly and affordable place and I fully recommend it, we actually prolonged our stay for a couple of days. The owner, a very hospitable lady, speaks English very well and is very nice and helpful. We booked our trip to Fansipan via the hotel and we also repeatedly rented scooters for some further away trips. It's also not in the very center of Sapa town, which is actually a good thing; Sapa town is quite small and everything is within walking distance (so not being in the very center is not a nuisance) and you can enjoy much calmer environment in terms of noisiness and hustle.

United KingdomA very welcoming and comfortable stay. A short walk from the main town on a quiet road with good views of the hills (when it wasn’t cloudy!) The owner was incredibly accommodating and helpful. She had brilliant English and we enjoyed chatting with her. On the day we woke up very early for a trek she made us takeaway breakfast pancakes - we were so grateful. We were also able to do some laundry, with a quick turn around, during our stay.

CanadaWe loved it here. This was the perfect place to land in Sa Pa. We hadn’t had any trekking pre-booked so we were so grateful that Ha, the owner, helped us. She is an incredible host and you just feel welcome and taken care of. She helped us book an amazing 3-day trekking tour, and found us a bus to our next destination very last minute. Breakfast was excellent as well — she makes the best omelettes! We liked it so much here that we stayed an extra night when we came back from the Trekking your. the rooms are big, the showers hot, and all for a very affordable price.
