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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

New ZealandThe restaurant that was talked about in the reviews did not exist (maybe because it was start of off season?). There was a building but that was the managers kitchen and hang out spot - not clean and welcoming for guests as shown in the photos. Shower room had no door, toilet room only had a plastic curtain. No kettle in the room even though it was advertised to have one. Squeaky beds. Thin walls.
Good location on the riverside street (no view). Close walk to restaurants and hikes. Triple room had enough space with good fans and aircon.

United Kingdom- communication with the owners was maybe a little confusing at time, for instance we got the information that payment for the room was only cash literally when our van back to luang prabang was arriving. - no breakfast or food available in the restaurant, but maybe because it was low season? - compared to other guesthouses of similar standards across Laos, this one felt slightly more expensive, while having no breakfast included and the bathroom felt less convenient.
- we were able to check-in very early - the room was a separate bungalow, in a very calm street. Bungalows are made from traditional Lao bamboo folding technique, very breathable. - A/C and fan in the room, and hooks to hang clothes

United KingdomThe rooms could’ve been a bit cleaner and the bathroom doesn’t have a proper door, more of a plastic curtain which had a rip in it. The lack of ventilation also meant it smelled of damp
Very good location and very friendly staff.

United KingdomThe accommodation in the bungalows, particularly the bathroom was quite basic. Although we were on the edge of town, the other residents were quite noisy because of the thin walls, until after 1030pm.
The staff couldn't be more helpful for the first 2 days with the kitchen and dining facilities and fixing a broken shower. Very helpful try to arrange boat hire. The replacement man for the 3rd day was not quite as proactive, but helped when asked.

MaltaThe bathroom - small, no door, no warm water
Cute cabin with big comfy bed and good AC however I do agree with other reviews stating it is a bit expensive for what you get. The bathroom has no door and no warm water unless you leave it on a trickle amount. It’s also a 10-15 minute walk to the other side of the bridge where most things are happening. The man at the reception was very helpful however I suggest booking any boats or laundry separately as we realised he always charged us a bit more . (Eg private boat to Muang ngoi was 600 from the pier but he told us 800, the laundry was actually 30/kg but he charged us 50/kg) . A plus is that they conveniently offer buses to and from Luang Prabang. We didn’t get to try the restaurant as the chef was away for Tet holidays!

New ZealandThey’re definitely more “shack” like, very simple materials and furnishing it’s obviously old and worn down, not sure how long they will last without some renovations. Like cracks in the windows and doors, holes in the tiles to the dirt outside.
Hotels in a fantastic location by the river surrounded by beautiful mountains. The staff/owner were so helpful and were available around the clock. They also booked us transport and were all round very friendly people. The bed, pillows and fluffy blanket made it comfortable to sleep at night. Also nice to have a fan and aircon. Warm shower too.

Noi who manages the property is super helpful, kind and friendly. She does whatever she can to help the guests. She is a go to person for whatever you need. Her husband also helped me when needed. Thank you both so much. The room was comfortable enough.

FranceSomething that is very common in Laos is to have toilet in the shower, but it seems to be normal and we get use to it.

New ZealandVery firm bed, like being on a plank of wood. No bathroom door! This also makes the floor wet outside of the bathroom when showering. Our toilet flush didn’t work properly. Hopefully this is fixed now. Very thin walls so that you can hear the neighbouring room talk. A 10-15 min walk to the high street.
Nice owner who helped with booking our bus tickets onwards. Free water refills. Quiet location by the riverside. Pretty flowers and gardens.
