Suspicious-review evidence
≈82 possibly bought · 916 top-rated reviews scanned
Explain how it works
We compare every 5★ review's word count against the global distribution. Hostels where unusually many top-rated reviews are suspiciously short — way under the typical length — start to look like the staff (or a boost-my-listing service) is padding the score with throwaway praise.
The detector flags reviews that are both top-rated and below a length threshold, then estimates how many of them statistically shouldn't exist. For this hostel we scanned 916 top-rated reviews and 1% were suspiciously short.
Length z-score: 5.49. A z-score measures how far this hostel's distribution of 5★ review lengths sits from the global average, in standard deviations. 0 = perfectly typical. 1–2 = slightly unusual but within normal noise. 3–5 = strongly anomalous. Anything 10+ means the pattern is so far from the global norm that it's effectively impossible to get there organically.
This is a heuristic, not a verdict — it surfaces hostels worth a second look, not proof of fraud. Read the actual reviews below and judge for yourself.

Reward tied to a review
rating Value for money
It's right on the street, but rooms are dirty. Walls have strains like dirty hands have been rubbed on. Aircon doesn't work so good. Service is alright but hygiene is 1/5 ... It was a very disappointing experience At first we got a room where we found they had not even cleaned the room so they shifted to another room , that room was ok but still not satisfied ac was not working properly when we complaint for that the receptionist told us its in all room you will get the same issues ...Also please check which room has window big one or balcony ...as major of the rooms don't have window .. So overall rating Value for money - 1/5 Location - 5/5 Service - 1/5 Cleanliness - 1/5

Review-authenticity complaint
fake reviews
Overrated, overpriced, unrealistic reviews The Pics on the net are unrealistic, standard of the hotel does not at all match the description given on various booking Sites. Rooms are small, and rooms with Riverview are right at the 4 lane street with traffic 24/7. Beds are uncomfortable, hard as a a stone. The cleanest of the room are on a very low level or openly spoke dirty, real dirty. Also lights in the bathroom and on one side of the bed were not working. Floor finishing are broken on various locations in the room. Bathroom had broken tiles. Made the mistake to go through the room with socks on and set in the bed with the socks. A nightmare what you will find afterwards in your bed sheets. In addition we had bugs all over the bed and the room. Don't know what these critters are at least we were not bit during the night. We asked for a room clean up and change of bedsheets. Which was done but didn't had any benefit in respect to cleanest of the sheets or the room. We are not at all picky regarding standards or even have in mind to judge the Vietnamese hotel by western level! Had to pay the room in advance otherwise the staff would have kept our passports! Highly questionable behavior, as you normally would not give your passport out of Hand in Vietnam or any foreign country, remember your Visa is in the passport! In Vietnam you are requested by law to have your Visa on you when you are on the move. We left the hotel after one night. Had a little discussion with the staff about the refund as the didn't wanted to make a refund on the credit card. In the end the paid the refund in cash back to us. To be fair I must mentioned that they gave us a discount for the night of 25%. Thanks for that! But keep in mind the trouble and inconveniences we had. Sleeping a night with little critters and make an hour of research to find a new hotel. As I assume that most of the high rated reviews are not honest reviews (including the reviews on other platforms in the web)....you probably can imagine what I mean! They are just fake reviews. Overall the hotel is overpriced as you will find brand-new hotel near the coast line for less money. Or if you want to stay near the city center also there.

このホテルのスタッフの方はいつも笑顔で対応してくれました。受付まで少し階段がありますが部屋へ行くにはエレベーターがあります。ここはハン市場やレストランなどがあり、とても便利です。川沿いでドラゴンブリッジの夜景がとても綺麗でした。他のホテルではあまり冷えない冷蔵庫もここは凄く冷えるので助かりました。ただ、水は瓶に入っているのですが毎回、瓶を消毒しているのか？洗っているのか？わかりません。私の身体は大丈夫でした！

値段の割に部屋も綺麗でバルコニーからの景色も最高でした。また、チェックアウトが１２時なのもゆっくり出来て良かった。朝４時位まで近くのクラブ？のズンチャズンチャが聞こえてしまう。
