Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

PolandThe hotel was clean, although we did notice some ants in the room. The rooms themselves were on the smaller side; if you're traveling with kids or lots of luggage, be aware that the apartments aren’t very spacious. One of the challenges we faced was communication – only about two staff members spoke English at a communicative level; the rest struggled to understand even basic requests, which made things a bit difficult at times. A few practical tips: keep your windows closed at night unless you want to be woken up by barking dogs and roosters in the early morning hours.
We stayed at this hotel in Sapa as a family of four (two kids aged 3 and 9), and overall, it was a good experience. The location is excellent – just a 2-minute walk from the lake and about 5 minutes to a large shop, which was very convenient. One unexpected benefit was its proximity (also just 2 minutes) to the local medical point – essentially a small hospital – which came in handy when our child had an accident and needed stitches. Note that you need to be on at least the third floor to get a proper view, which might be important if you’re expecting scenic vistas. Breakfast was decent, offering a mix of Asian and European options. Despite some small inconveniences, we had a pleasant stay

PhilippinesWe don't like climbing up to the room by stairs up to 7th and 8th floor. The stairs should have been covered/roofed with polycarbonate sheet at least. The hassle part was during rainy moments, the stairs are slippery and prone to hazard.
We like the location very much, very accessible. Rooms were huge and veranda is okay. Breakfast Buffet was good and value for money indeed. Staff especially, Mr. Le Van Dung is very accommodating of our requests.

AustraliaI booked 2 rooms with mountain view, but we got a restaurant view instead. It would have been much better if they told us beforehand so we can consider upgrading our rooms. If you really want a view, ask for a room on higher floors than 3rd floor. There is no elevator, so if you're travelling with kids, old people, or lots of suitcases, you might want to consider another place. The property is lovely, but it needs serious and thorough upgrades and maintenance since the furniture are old, especially the bed. It squeaks every time someone just pretty much touch it, which is annoying after a long day of walking and exploring. The mattresses are not comfy at all, so were the pillows.
The buffet breakfast is amazing. We got 2 rooms next to each other as requested, which is wonderful. However, 1 room is obviously much smaller than the other one. The staff are all exceptional and made us feel as welcome and cared for as possible. Everything is within walking distance, and I love the flowers all around the property.

ThailandThe beds and pillows were too hard for my liking so it was a bit of a struggle to sleep. The bathroom although clean and well stocked lacked proper ventilation so it smelt quite damp.
I really enjoyed the view the most. I didn't expect the rooms to have such a great overlook of the City. It was Central but no too close to the main hustle and bustle which made it nice and quiet at night.

SingaporeDidn't really like the breakfast, personally. Cleanliness could have been better. There was some hair in between the sheets which makes me wonder if the sheets were changed prior to the previous user. And also the humidity and temperature made it really hard to dry our towels, so having a good bathroom ventilation would be good. Our air conditioning didn't work at first but the staff helped us to resolve that.
The location was great! Close to the main hub and also fairly near to a mart. The views are great and the receptionists and service are fairly decent as well.

We had a fantastic stay at Sapa Village Hotel. We arrived early at 6 AM, and for an extra 300,000 VND, they kindly allowed us to check in early, which we thought was reasonable. The room had an amazing view, comfy beds, and the breakfast was delicious. Logistics were seamless both when arriving at and leaving the hotel. They also offered us tours and assisted us with transportation arrangements, which made our trip even easier. What we truly appreciated was their flexibility. They allowed us to store our luggage after checkout since our bus wasn’t leaving until 9:30 PM. We even got to relax in the lobby after returning at 6 PM before catching our bus. This extra hospitality made a big difference! Overall, a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend Sapa Village Hotel for their great service and comfort.
