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 KingdomThe description on booking.com is missing the itinerary so we didn't really know what to expect. The transfer service dropped us off and told us to wait 15 mins which turned into 35 mins even though the tender boat was already there. The guide was obviously busy but we could have just been told to look for the sapphire tender instead of waiting in the heat with our bags. Some of the other (but probably more expensive) boat companies on the other side of the port appear to have air conditioned waiting areas but where we were told to wait didn't have a fan. You only get one small bottle of water per person then have to pay 29,000 per bottle which is triple hanoi restaurant prices.
Staff were great, very professional. Luc the guide was funny and knowledgeable about the area and had good energy. At 5,875,000 VND, this was one of the cheaper options but does the same activities so didn't feel like we missed out. The food was good and there was plenty of it at the various meal times. Transfer picked us up from the hotel at 8am, stopped for a break once at around 9:30 for half an hour then we arrived at the port (opposite mojito) at 11:20.

United KingdomNothing it was a great trip I wish I stayed longer!
We had an incredible 2 day trip on the Sapphire! I wish I had booked another day to enjoy the room and it’s beautiful view even more. It’s definitely worth booking more than one night so you can really enjoy your surroundings without rushing. Luc was a great communicator for all of our activities, everything ran smoothly and we had a great time kayaking, cycling and relaxing in our room. The food was delicious we were stuffed full every meal time and they catered to my gluten allergy easily. We had never been on a cruise before so didn’t know what to expect but we had a great time and would love to do it again!

I want to thank in particular the supervisor "Tom cruise" who was all time seeing that everything was perfect. He also helped me arranging my transportation back to Hanoi at last minute. Your doing a great job!

NorwayWe had no complaints. Just note that there is a long gap between lunsj and dinner on day two.
The room and the bathroom with was great! Spacious with amazing view and balconies. The food was very good and the staff was the best! We did a two night cruise and that included a very scenic and tranquil bikeride to visit a small island village, aswell as kayaking (and swimming if the weather permits) in a much more quiet and scenic location than the one for the guests who only did one night. So two nights are highly recommended.

United StatesThe A/C unit in the room was difficult to operate.
The size of the group (~30) was perfect for meeting other guests and still having privacy when desired. Mr. Luc, aka “Power,” was a fantastic host for our 2 day/overnight tour of the Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay. He was energetic, warm, hospitable, making sure our needs were met while also helping the cruise staff as a true team player. His spirit made the trip a memorable one!

AustraliaThey provided only 1 water bottle per person for a 24 hrs cruise. Only 45 mins Kayaking, which could be more as we had a lot of time.
Value for money. Good clean rooms. Food for tasty and beautifully plated. There was a lot of variety. The bar menu was impressive. The staff Power , James bond, Hannah, and the others were very attentive and had real good coordination. They would remember details of anything extra we asked for and deliver it immediately. The time coordination was impeccable. They had organised squid fishing, which was good fun. Overall a great value for money as our price also included hanoi transfer.

I paid for 4 star boat but I was so surpised at the first glance we reached Sapphire cruise. I looked so beautiful and brand new. We were shocked when we checked in cabin. Wow, it is was over my expectation .Our cabin has a balcony from where you can enjoy the views while boat cruising. 5 star mattress, luxury bathroom with bath tub and jaccuzzi. All meals provided with delicious food and beautiful decoration . Everything was perfect expecially the professional and friendly staff . Sapphire cruise deserves 5 star , not 4 star.
