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 hostel's location is excellent, as is the staff. A simple breakfast is included, very good for the price. Tours and transportation between cities are offered at the hostel. Air conditioning and a fan are provided in the room.
Dormitory with 6 beds, no windows, no curtains, no closets. There are only small lockers at the reception, and you have to pay a deposit to use them, as well as towels. There is no soap for washing hands.

Verified reviewGood location, cheap price, breakfast included, tours, transportation booking available. Housekeeper does some jobs
Too many mosquitos and bite which is too much and painful. A bi dirty and old place. Smells bad in the bed. Fried egg and bread for breakfast, on the menu noodles but not available. Coffee might be not available, based on your luck. Tours are reasonable price and good choice but transportation is expensive than other shops, even if you get discounted, it is still higher price anyway. I booked minivan from Luangprabang to Vangvieng. They promised that they will drop me on my hostel in the city, but driver refused and dropped me at the entrance of Vangvieng so I had to walk 20mins with bag and backpack on hot day. No towel provided too. Not hot water. No amenity. It’s cheap hostel but you could get better one easily. Everything in the village, it is walking distance 3 night 4days was ok, but can be easily done 2 night stay unless you want to drink and chill without doing nothing. Kunagsi waterfall Phousi Hill Riverside local Laos BBQ Earlier morning - offering Buddha Those are main activities in Luangprabang can be done in 2days !

Verified reviewLuang Prabang doesn't have much more than the morning and night market, as well as the phousi hill; these are all reached with a 2 minute walk down the street. You can book any ticket there, tours, trains, vans, you name it. And you can even rent a motorcycle for cheap (150kip). Refillable water, a clean fridge which has space, free coffee and tea, and a kitchen if you're feeling adventurous. There's a lot of bathrooms and toilets, never had an issue where I had to wait. They are all clean and comfortable. I slept in the 12 dorm room for around 7 days, and every night I've slept great. Of course it depends on who's there, but the tony vibe makes sure it's quiet after 11pm. The staff are wonderful people, the housekeeper makes a great breakfast and the reception gives great help when you have questions. It feels like they know everything :))
The atmosphere in the common room is a bit bland. There is plenty of tables with a lot of chairs, so you can sit and eat with others, but it feels more like a waiting lobby than a living room, in my opinion. I still met a lot of awesome people there, so it is really a minor point.

Verified reviewFew steps away to the National Museum, Mount Phousi and Night Market stretch. Lots of restaurant nearby.
Too hot for an 8 bed mixed dormitory with a single fan that does not rotate at all. The aircon was switched off from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon and 3 PM to 7 PM which was absolutely crazy. You cannot stay in the room during those times since it's too hot inside like an oven. The aircon switches are centrally controlled by the front desk staff. Never coming back to this hostel ever

Verified reviewThe staff is nice, everything is very clean and the breakfast is pretty good. However, there is absolutely no privacy in the rooms. All the bunkbeds are crammed together and have no curtains so I felt very uncomfortable being the only woman in the room. Also, there are rules in the hostel, but nobody seems to follow them, which makes them pointless. There were people showering at 2 AM and walking in and out of the room… In sum, I didn’t enjoy my stay at all.
