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 reviewWe stayed here for 5 nights and found it to be a great base for exploring the Tam Coc area. They had both bicycles and motorbikes available to rent. Oddly enough, the bicycles were priced quite high—almost on par with the motorbikes—which was a bit surprising. The bungalow was comfortable and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Breakfast was fine, though we were consistently served a Western-style option, while local guests seemed to get Vietnamese dishes—which we would’ve preferred. That said, we didn’t mention it—closed mouths don’t get fed, as the saying goes. They also helped us arrange our transportation back to Hanoi, and it actually ended up being cheaper than what we had found online. That was a much-appreciated surprise.

Verified reviewThe place is nice, relaxing and quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the business center of town, and we liked it that way. Got to wake up and spend quiet moments by their garden and listen to birds chirping. They provide suggestions on where to go, and they can arrange for a car and driver for you. We availed this assistance to fetch us from the airport (cheaper than online booking sites), then to tour us to our preferred destinations, and then to go back to Hanoi. The host and their family are very kind and friendly. You can ask for recommendations for good food, coffee, or places to visit. We also got to meet the cute kids. Even the kids are used to meeting and greeting guests. We enjoyed our stay. It was a nice place, and the people were kind and friendly to us. Thank you.

Verified reviewIt’s such a sweet place with lovely little individual bungalows. The family who run it are lovey and the host has great English. She helped us with lots of different information about the town, boat tours, view points, bicycle hire and places to eat. They have bikes you can hire for 50k a day which are a great way to get around and explore. The host helps you with the best routes to take and will give you a map to show you where everything is. She always says hello and is happy to have a chat about where we are off too and if we need any help. The free breakfast is lovely and the laundry service is quick, easy and cheap. The rooms have ac and a fan with a huge bed. Hair dryer, kettle and a fridge also in the room. The place is about a 10/15 min walk into tam coc or a 5 min cycle ride. It’s lovely and quiet and close enough to the main area to get to for food and shopping. Would definitely recommend if you want somewhere quiet, clean and a nice atmosphere.
Nothing it was perfect!

Verified reviewThe room is ok, it’s a bit far from the center, but they rent bikes. Good for a one night stay when sun is showing, through I will still recommend a center place near to the lake except if you very very low on budget. The surroundings are still beautiful.
The lady of the House was a business woman in pyjamas, but not a superhero, not really welcoming but very busy, did the strict minimum. The service comes with a price, but not with my stars. It’s not written very clearly but paiement on place. Still met some great people here, take care of your family ! To the next ones, may you be more lucky than us because people can be moody on rainy days 🌦️😊
