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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Smaller hotel with many wood furnishings giving off a pleasant charge. I was in a very spacious room on the upper floor, outfitted with with a little filled minibar. The pool is a good size and cared for regularly. I actually also ate at their restaurant on both evenings and the food was delicious. Breakfast is a choice of three (Western, Asian, Local) and within each section you can choose the items.

The only negative was that, although clean, the bathroom could do with a mould remover in the showere area. Everywhere else in the bathroom was fine - no problem.
The pool was excellent - we were in the pool every day to cool off as some days it was 45 degrees. Breakfast was great. Plenty of choice & yoghurt & fruit which not all hotels provide. Breakfast was included in the price, which is a bonus. We also used the restaurant & the food was great. The staff were absolutely terrific - so helpful, could not do enough for us. This hotel is in the French Colonial style, which we loved. The room we had was very spacious. It's not too far from the centre of town in a tuk tuk or a taxi. We found the tuk tuks cheaper & cooler - as you drive along you get a great breeze which cools you off.

My pillows were the 'thick and stiff' type. I went down to the lobby and requested for a 'softer' pillow, which was delivered to my room.
Hotel has a unique charm to it, with the wooden structures, walls, and floors. Spacious rooms. AC unit works well. Bed was comfortable and my room had a balcony. The free breakfast was nice.

The hotel was a little further from the main Vientiane sites than we anticipated. There is also a nightclub just down the laneway that is loud and I wish I had known about before booking. The hotel provides earplugs but they didn’t really do the trick.
We loved the charm and authenticity of Chandara! The pool and balconies outside the rooms were very pretty and the staff was lovely and helped with everything.

The breakfast was one of the worst I’ve had anywhere. I ordered pancakes and there was more oil than anything. Same with my partner’s omelette. The coffee was also really bad.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was good, right in the centre of town. Only about a 5 minute tuk tuk to the river.

Nothing - the staff were particularly helpful with organising tuk tuks. Our rooms were cleaned daily. In all honesty, I rate the Chandara as a very good place to stay, either as a single traveller or with a family.
The pool was lovely - set in a relaxing garden. The breakfast was generous and we also had a few dinners at the Chandara. Again, excellent.

Nestled in a tranquil setting not far from the city and attractions, this place offers serenity well worth the investment. The staff, while genuinely helpful and polite, may fall short of Western standards in their services, a reflection of Laos's pace of progress. My laundry experience, though not flawlessly executed, wasn't due to carelessness but perhaps a lack of awareness. Despite a monotonous breakfast, the overall stay aligns with Laotian standards, providing a satisfactory experience in this peaceful locale.

I'm a breakfast fan so I could think of ways to improve that a little bit. Otherwise you're really getting excellent value for your money.
The Chandara Boutique Hotel has the friendliest staff you can imagine, they make you feel very much at home. Also, the hotel has a lot of charme because much of it is made of wood in traditional designs. It's a nice quiet oasis in the hustle and bustle of Vientiane. I can definitely recommend it. Good food and drinks, too. Try the fried spring rolls and the fresh passionfruit margaritas - delicious!!
