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.).

Cozy homestay run by family. The owner (both Alex and his wife) is very welcoming and helpful. Even before my arrival, they helped me with bus booking which made my life very easy. (I always received instant replies.) During my stay, they were also very helpful and always happy to assist their guests. Dinner with other guests was nice and fun too. They have friendly cats and dogs which would be a plus for animal lovers. Overall, my stay there was very pleasant. Happy that I found this homestay!

AustraliaThe place could have been a bit cleaner and the beds are pretty hard. Bathrooms are pretty tired as well.
Location was great. Pool was excellent and the views from the dining room are amazing. In the middle of the village and close to a bunch of places to eat and get coffee.

ItalyThe hosts are incredibly friendly and available at any time for recommendations or help in organising transportation. The room and the bathroom were clean and very spacious. The homestay is in a quiet area in a small village, perfect for sleeping far from the city noise and experiencing the more "rural" Vietnam. The location allows to easily reach Trang An and Mia Cave by bike, but all other sightseeing spots were close too. The services offered are great: free bicycle, motorbike rental, swimming pool, transportation booking, laundry service (we gave it for washing in the morning and it was already returned in the afternoon), and family dinner. I absolutely recommend joining the dinner in the evening, food was amazing and varied and it is also a great way to connect with other guests and exchange travel advice. Breakfast was also great with both buffet and a la carte options (eggs/omelette, soups, rice/noodles). They have helped us book our transportation from Cat Ba and then to Sapa at a good price with drop off/pick-up directly at the homestay. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it if you plan to visit Ninh Binh area.

The staff was very helpful and friendly to us - they helped us to complete our travel/sightseeing plans for the limited time we had with tips and arrangements they made for us. Delicious breakfast and lunch. Good value for money.

United KingdomA friendly welcoming small complex with a pool, great for cycling (bikes provided and free) to the lake and the pagoda trips (the only 2 main sites in the area and neither should be missed). Owner speaks good English and helped us with bus from Hanoi, and taxi to Ninh Bin station on leaving. Rooms are clean large and traditionally styled, and amenities are as listed. Evening meal with other guests is on offer and provided a very pleasant opportunity to sample home style Viet cooking. All in all highly recommended and good value.

The hotel has a swimming pool and offers bicycles for free which are convenient to go to many of the near by attractions. The breakfast was very good with more than 10 options to choose from. The hotel offers family dinners where guests share travel experiences while enjoying amazing meals . I recommend very much these dinners every time they are available. Alex and his wife are the best hosts. Alex runs the hotel very efficiently and his wife is in charge of gastronomy and both make a great team together
