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

Verified reviewThere were so many great things here and a few that didn’t make sense. The tents were so comfortable and absolutely gorgeous, the grounds were full of gardens and trees, staff were so friendly and the food was exceptional! We ordered lunch then preordered (as they requested it) the exact same Vietnamese food for dinner as was so delicious! We were very comfortable for our 2 night stay! Thank you to all the kind staff for looking after us. The cultural show was very moving too.
The main thing that we didn’t understand was the locked gates to the property. We spent quite a while waiting and calling the hotline to get staff to let us in. Even when we arrived from the airport- we called 30 mins before arriving and they still had no way for us to enter. You could improve the experience by having some type of entrance where people felt welcome.
Dear Mr./Ms. Danielle, Thank you sincerely for choosing LAK Tented Camp and taking the time to share your valuable experience during your stay. We are very pleased to know that you were satisfied with the comfort of the tents, the natural scenery, the friendliness of our staff, as well as the quality of the food and cultural programs at LAK. Regarding the issue with the locked gates and access to the property, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the long wait you had to endure. Your feedback is a motivation for us to improve our services and the entrance system to provide a more convenient and welcoming experience in the future. We look forward to welcoming and serving you again. Thank you very much! LAK team

Verified reviewThe rooms are exactly as described online. The bungalow rooms are very clean, big and nice. You have everything you need in the room. The lake view would be great, however it was so windy and cloudy that there was not much benefit of that.
The food was really not good, probably one of the worst meals I had in my entire vietnam trip (and I have travelled through various different parts of Vietnam for almost 4 weeks by now). The second night, I even skipped dinner because I felt so bad after the first dinner. In additon to that, I was the only guest on the property on my second night (and one of three on my first night), which was very strange and I felt extremely uncomfortable. Because there were no other guests, everything seemed to be on a lower standard (food, service, available tours etc.). On my second day they didnt have a breakfast buffet anymore and provided me with rather few food options, bad quality and dry bread. The tour to the waterfall in general is very nice and my guide (staff of the hotel) was also very friendly. However, it all seemed a bit improvised and since there were no other guests, it was not really the experience I was expecting when reading information on the internet. In general, besides my tour guide, the staff wasn‘t engaging with me much nor were they trying to get my feedback (e.g., asked why I skipped dinner the second night). They were also not really helping me with transport options to get to my next location, so I arranged everything myself. Its a pity, as this could be such a great spot to visit the highlands in vietnam but for me definitively something I would not do again. If you do want to go there due to the nice landscape, bring some powerbars and food with you.

It could use a bit more attention to detail to give it more than just a tented camp: maybe some local flowers on the tables, some colored cushions on the benches and chairs. Also the food could use a bit more eye for detail and original tastes: now good but nothing special.
Dear Mr. Hermans, Thank you for your review and for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear that you found your stay at Lak Tented Camp satisfactory. We strive to provide a unique and memorable experience for our guests, and your suggestions are invaluable to us. The day before your visit, we experienced a severe storm, which required us to remove many of the decorations from the tables for safety reasons. However, we will certainly take your suggestions to heart and look into adding more local flowers and colored cushions to enhance the ambiance and make it more inviting. Additionally, we are committed to improving our culinary offerings and will work with our team to incorporate more attention to detail and original tastes in our menu. Your feedback helps us to continuously improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better experience.

Verified reviewLak Tented camp earns money from guests' stays must ensure the safety of guests' lives and property. When things happen, you abandon your responsibility to your customers. There were no previously announced warnings about insecurity. In addition, there is no recommendation about leaving personal items such as wallets, phones, and laptops at the reception. I believe no one sends those assets back to the receptionist and no service area requires that. You guys also don't have cameras in a 5 hectare area. The denial of responsibility regarding customers is unethical and unkind in business. If yesterday I was attacked or lost my identification documents, or was a foreigner,... would you still tell me to wait for the police to resolve it? I feel it is necessary to issue a warning to all tourists in Vietnam and around the world to know about the lack of ethics of Lak tented camp.

Our small local farm adds to the unique experience we aim to provide. Regarding the access to the lake, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the muddy terrain. We understand the importance of easy access to the water and would like to inform you that during the dry season, the water level may be lower, contributing to the muddy conditions. Nevertheless, we will explore solutions to improve this aspect of our facilities.

Didn’t care for the tent, very noisy at night in the wind. Just the bed in the tent, not even a chair to sit in. Bathroom outside the zippered door. No wifi in the tent. Neighbors had small children that woke us up at 6 am. The most expensive place we’ve stayed in Vietnam, but far from the best. Not sure how they justify the price.
