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

Verified reviewThe family who ran the guesthouse were very pleasant when we ran into them. We also had a terrace with a nice view of the mountains.
The reason we booked a private room in a hostel was to have the opportunity to socialise with other backpackers. Therefore, we were disappointed when we arrived and we were in fact not staying in the hostel, but in a guesthouse down the road. Had we known this we would have just booked directly with the guesthouse and probably saved ourselves some money.

Verified reviewGreat pool and hangout locations on the balcony. The rooms need better ventilation and hold a wet odor. I also felt like the bathrooms weren’t getting cleaned daily but maybe there were simply a lot of guests.

Verified reviewIt's a good hostel, have almost all the amenities, and pool area is in front, which is really great, plus they provide breakfast, which is really good.
Some rooms are a little compact, they could've been bigger

Verified reviewThe bar area with the swimming pool and drinks in the fridge you can get for good prices. Free drinkable water. Calm youth hostel, no noise after 11pm. But a rooster can wake you up early. The staff here is really welcoming. And I want to mention the perfect rock playlist at the bar (whoever it is, thank you!). Unfortunately I can't say anything about the breakfast as I didn't wake up on time.
The sheets weren’t clean at all: I saw some hair, stains, and tiny dead bugs. I didn’t want to lay my head on the pillow or cover myself with the blanket. The bathroom looks really old and needs to be changed. There was no equipment in the room: no towels, no shower gel or shampoo, and no hair dryer. Really dark room.

Verified reviewThe bed is comfortable and the locker next to it is well thought. Curtains and good A/C working. The swimming pool is appreciable with the heat and the breakfast is good.
Very loud because of the bad insonorisation between the rooms and the terrasse/rooftop. The bathrooms were not very comfortable nor practicable. We stayed in two dorms and the bathroom was always nightmare.

Verified reviewThis place is amazing! I had a great time there, the pool was amazing, perfect for a hot day. Good breakfast, hotel service also very good. Generally i can only recommend
The only downside was that my expensive shoes were stolen. At the hotel you have to take off your shoes and leave them in a public locker outside, unfortunately the camera was turned so that it did not record what was happening at the locker.

Verified reviewLocation was very good! Dorm with 6 beds was fine, not too small. Had lockers we could use, but needed our own locks. Room and bathroom were kept clean. Free breakfast was nice, but why the need to pay extra for fruits and granola?
No space to eat breakfast with a lot of people. A bit expensive compared with hostels in other cities, but I think it’s like that everywhere in Luang Prabang.
