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 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):
- 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.).

Almost perfect! Probably just a suggestion of a chair inside the room to use. I wanted to use the table but there is no chair to sit down to.
Very kind, accommodating, english speaking staff. In my case, there was this Korean guy, who I just tried to help, but suddenly followed me all the way to where I my accommodation which I was very scared. He even insisted on staying at the same accommodatio . The moment I arrived I told the receptionist right away what was happening and pleaded to make sure his room was far from mine, and they made sure it was done. They made sure we don't cross each other's path. The next day the Korean guy was throwing a fist at the receptionist about it. I was so moved that the staff protected me, which made the guy eventually check out and leave. I was almost crying in relief. I'm a female solo traveller and my security mattered so much to me, Villa Thavisouk made sure I was safe and okay. I will definitely stay with them again when I go back.

They helped us book transport to our next location. We were to leave at 8 am, but they woke us an hour earlier because they said we have to leave earlier due to rain. Was fine with that, a bit unfortunate to miss breakfast. Then we ended up driving half an hour to fill petrol and change van. Then we waited at the bus station for 1.5 hour for others to come? Didn’t get why we had to rush out, just to wait over 2hours before we actually departed. This could have been arranged better
Good location close to night market. Decent breakfast, nice staff

It’s in a good location and value for your money, clean rooms with good A/C and fresh towels everyday. Staff are nice and they sell a lot of tours/bus & slow boat tickets. Nice breakfast included in the price too.

Staff here are great and very attentive. At one point the control for the air con wasn't working and they made sure to get it sorted within 5 mins. Good value for money in Luang Prabang as all the other hotels are crazy expensive? Everything you need really!

Do mind if the bedroom includes AC when you book: I didn’t and had to ad 3$ extra for an upgrade.
I spent only one night and I found all what I needed: comfortable bed, clean bathroom and good location really close to the night market. The staff was very helpful with organising the day and the connection to Ninh Khiaw and Muang Ngoy. You also have fresh breakfast included. Recommended!

Kim was super friendly and helpful arranging scooter rental for same price as in town. Also good recommendations for local restaurants etc. Room VERY basic, but considering the price, better than expected. Location excellent. But dont say yes to airport pickup for 10 USD. You can get much cheaper in the airport and superfast.

Lovely little place. Great location. Best part was Kim the host (manager). She was friendly, great communicator and a wealth of knowledge. Kim helped us with tuk tuks to immigration, sight seeing and also arranged our train down south. Our room was light filled and very clean. Breakfast was daily fresh juice, coffee/ tea and a choice of several items. French toast was my favourite! Ended up staying a couple days longer.

The rooms and facilities are nice! It's worth for what we paid, not less not more. But the real plus of this place is Kim, she helped us avoid problems with local companies who tried to scam us and did her best to help us to solve them! She and the staff are mainly responsible for the success this place. They will definitely make your stay easier and more confortable!

We loved staying here as Kim the manager was so friendly and helpful. She booked tours for us and made everything so easy. Her local knowledge was so helpful. The room was clean, air conditioned with a fan too, and in a quiet area but only a short walk to the bustling night Market. Breakfast was great and the staff very friendly. A great stay for us, thank you Kim.
