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.).

United KingdomI thought the breakfast was confusing (what's included or not in the price). The coffee wasn't great and could / should have been prepared better (by a barista). The rooftop bar has so much potential but I feel wasted because of the layout.
I like the design and the choice of furnishings.

AustraliaMy whole experience of this hotel from the arranging of airport transfers prior to my stay and also arranging my train tickets to Luang Prabang was excellent. Within an hour of my flight landing in Vientiane I was sitting by the rooftop pool drinking a beer - what more could you ask for. I would definitely recommend this hotel and come back too stay again.

United StatesWe enjoy the property and amenities! Thank you Zack for the upgrade to the Poet Suite! We love the interior design and space! The only thing they charged at the property restaurants & bar in dollars directly which we found interesting. We always pay in local currency when we travel and the conversion is done at the time of the transaction. The breakfast was amazing it was a la carte and it was included in the room. I would recommend to include your breakfast on your booking. The breakfast option we love! Our favorites were the Lao omelet and fresh fruits! I will say the cappuccino was very good! The best I have tried in Asia so far! We liked the location and the food options nearby. Especially, the fruit heaven shop in the right corner exiting the hotel! I would recommend downloading the local app-It safe the days for transportation! It works like Uber and does not need to negotiate prices and they are very comfortable. Mostly they are electric cars!

GermanyI think having a sun umbrella or some shade near the pool would be great, and maybe a different breakfast card for the weekend (but this is just because we booked a full week here). There wasn't that many places to plug electronic stuff in in our room.
The pool is great, the staff are really friendly and helpful. I like the way they do the breakfast, too. It is also really close to so many different restaurants, but in a small street which makes it nice and quiet.

My favorite hotel in Vientiane. It has a cool vibe, nice decor, good breakfast, a pool, and a rooftop bar. But the best thing about Lao Poet is the service - truly top-tier customer service. I've stayed here twice now, and it's going to be my go-to spot to stay in Vientiane. Plus, it's in a great location near Noy's Fruit Heaven.
