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...).

VietnamI had a truly enjoyable stay at this homestay. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the peaceful surroundings and the connection to nature. The property is surrounded by lush greenery and has a charming garden, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The room was spotless, well-organized, and the bed was very comfortable, providing a restful night after a busy day. The thoughtful decor and small details made the space feel cozy and welcoming, and the amenities provided added a personal touch. The host and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They assisted with transportation bookings, provided clear directions, and recommended local attractions that I might have overlooked. Their warmth and attentiveness made me feel genuinely welcomed. Breakfast was simple yet delicious, featuring local flavors and beautifully prepared – a great way to start the day. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and this homestay is perfect for both relaxation and exploration. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to others

United KingdomThe property is very peaceful so just what me and my partner needed after a long travel. The pool is lovely and clean. Our room had a fantastic view over some Lilly fields and the sunset and sunrise were outstanding. Coffee, the dog, is just the cutest. All of the staff are amazing and friendly especially Tim who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and even sorted out our bus to Hue. We rented bikes from Tim so this made our stay a good spot to check out local attractions.

United KingdomThe things we liked were the ability to swim at anytime we wanted, how peaceful it was at night. The staff didn’t speak much english but were very friendly and kind. The things we didn’t like was that the retreat was miles away from Ninh Binh, the only way to get food was to order it at the reception desk as it was the only place that had food available in the whole area and Grab didn’t have any takeaways able to deliver. the menu was very limited.

New ZealandThis is a fantastic place to stay and chill out away from the busy cities. A small taxi ride from Ninh Binh ($2) it is well worth it. The whole facility is clean, tidy. Everything works well (including the large clean pool & a/c). We had two meals, dinner and breakfast with drinks, all very nice. Tim speaks great English and is very caring. He very generously gave us a bag of fresh lychee for our days travel.

United KingdomWe loved everything about this hotel. Spacious bungalow. Quiet garden surroundings. Very comfy bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food. Near enough to all the local sights but far enough away to get some peace. For what we paid, which was next to nothing, it was exceptional. Arranged promt, clean modern transfers to and from Hanoi at a reasonable cost too.

FranceThis place is in a peaceful and quiet location, yet still very convenient. They offer scooter rentals and can help you book buses easily. The staff are incredibly kind and supportive—always willing to help with anything. I highly recommend booking your tours and transportation through them as well. Their English is excellent, which makes communication super smooth. The owner even messaged us the day before to arrange for someone to open the door at 4 AM when we arrived—such thoughtful service! Highly recommended!

Restaurant and breakfast were both excellent I’d say the area is a little remote with only a few perfectly nice restaurants on the street outside But no real nightlife - consider this as a hotel for r&r
