   • Récompense liée à un avis reviews is because if you give them a good one you get a free beer

   The place is very dirty, only Eason it has so many good reviews is because if you give them a good one you get a free beer.

   • Récompense liée à un avis reviews, they give discount
   • Plainte sur l’authenticité des avis review, so most of the 10s are bought

   It’s a very good hostel, but don’t get irritated by the 10 Star reviews, they give discounts for extentions if you give a 10 Star review, so most of the 10s are bought

   • Récompense liée à un avis review you get a free drink

   Fantastic location with plenty to do on site. The staff has plenty of recommendations for what to do in a day, overnight trips, or any sort of quick visits. Plus if you leave a review you get a free drink… stay here!

   • Récompense liée à un avis for 5 star review

   They ask for 5 star reviews to get 10% off your stay or a shot at the bar… also when booking direct or extending they don’t exclude Hostelworld’s extra fee as most other hostels do. It was a nice stay other than that.

   • Récompense liée à un avis incentive to give a 5 star review and receive a beer or shot if you give 5 star

   Decent place. Had a private room. Bathroom could do with some care and there were flies around. Main reason for 1/5 is that this place is rated highly mainly due to the incentive to give a 5 star review and receive a beer or shot if you give 5 star.

   • Récompense liée à un avis reviews for this place are only because they offer free drink

   Sheets had hair and mold on them, toliet also had hair and water from someone using bidet. Room was filthy, also no window so it was like a jail cell and super small. It was gross and much more expensive than a lot of other places around here. I can’t speak on the shared room but I can’t imagine they are much better. Good reviews for this place are only because they offer free drinks to leave a good review. Rooftop bar is the only redeeming feature.

   • Récompense liée à un avis rating is spiked I'm sure by the offer they make of a free drink

   It's an okay hostel, but no more. Their rating is spiked I'm sure by the offer they make of a free drink for a 5 star review. There's nothing wrong with this place but it's not a 9 star accomodation or anything like it. Some staff were friendly, others unhelpful. It's a city hostel. Toilets were regularly unclean and I was bitten by bedbugs (it was my first stop on the trip, they couldn't have come from anywhere else). Lovely views over Hanoi and well located in the heart of the Old Quarter.

   • Récompense liée à un avis free drinks for anyone who posts a 5-star review, so the online review

   We stayed in a private room that was overpriced for what we got. The room was mostly clean but had a bad smell that made the stay unpleasant. As well, we stayed on the 8th floor the noise from the upstairs bar and the stairwell was very loud and kept us up. The staff were nice but seemed ambivalent towards us. Be warned, they are advertising free drinks for anyone who posts a 5-star review, so the online reviews may be skewed and do not reflect the true experiences of customers. We do not recommend this hostel.

   • Récompense liée à un avis 5-star review, you get a free beer

   I had a very disappointing stay at this hostel. There were ants in the bed, and the staff was unhelpful and even rude — they gave back the wrong amount of money, laughed at us when we pointed it out, and showed little interest in helping with anything. Our room key didn’t even work properly. The breakfast was poor quality, not fresh, and there were flies in and on the food. The bathrooms were dirty, with no toilet paper available even after the cleaner had been there. Overall, the cleanliness was very bad. On top of that, the hostel had signs saying that if you leave them a 5-star review, you get a free beer. This is very dishonest and clearly explains why their overall rating looks much higher than what the hostel actually deserves. I would not recommend staying here.

    • Récompense liée à un avis in exchange for 5 star review

    This overpriced and dirty hostel is situated centrally for old quarter. It's a loud party hostel - They give out free alcohol in exchange for 5 star reviews. The breakfast is pretty good. I had a private en suite, the bathroom was dirty - a piece of chewing gum was squished on the shower floor. There are weird brown flakes that look kind of like insects on the walls and the floor wasn't swept when I arrived. After having a horrible and circular conversation about gaining access to the locked safe in my room, I didn't think there would be any point complaining about the cleanliness. I'm including a photo of the button you press in the safe to reset it. For the incredibly rude volunteer staff member who told me that it was completely impossible to reset my room safe without "calling the security company" or using and returning the one and only master key for the entire hostel's safes whenever I wanted to open my room safe.

    • Récompense liée à un avis review for a free beer
    • Pression pour laisser un avis TOLD THE GUY AT THE DESK I WAS GOING TO ROAST THIS PLACE ON REVIEW

    Where do I start? This place is easily the worst hostel I have stayed in, anywhere in the world. The staff are absolutely careless, and with 0 sense of urgency to boot. They put me in the wrong room for the first night along with another guy who was in the same position (we both paid for a 4 bed and received a 6) but I was willing to let it slide and say nothing because I was so tired but sadly they totally let me down following this too. I was told to move my things into a 4 bed on the second night, but it wasn’t even because I made a complaint (I didn’t) , in fact because it suited them better? Work that one out. I told them I would be back to move my things after my food tour. I came back to find my microfibre towel and its container had been removed from the room, I was then told by the staff when I raised this to them that I would hear back about it the next day. If that wasn’t shoddy enough, by the time I did get my towel back, there was no container bag to take it away in because some charlatan had lost it. I was late for my bus out of Hanoi because 1 staff member was prioritising booking another customer’s ha giang loop even though I had asked him about the towel first, and I understand wanting to make money but his colleague stood there on his phone the whole time. I never am one to leave bad reviews but please do not waste your money. They have a sign at reception telling people to leave a review for a free beer or shot. Also, the lights are dingy and the rooms are tiny. ALSO, I’M HAVING TO POST THIS ON GOOGLE BECAUSE I TOLD THE GUY AT THE DESK I WAS GOING TO ROAST THIS PLACE ON REVIEWS AND HE CANCELLED MY TRIP ON HOSTELWORLD BEFORE I COULD POST THIS, AND HE WAS QUICK TO DO IT TOO. WORST EVER.

    Staff was good but rooms, breakfast and everything else not. Reviews are affected by free beers in my opinion

    • Récompense liée à un avis free drink with a review

    Good hostel, free drink with a review. Ideally get a bottom bunk and not an en-suite room because they smell.

    • Récompense liée à un avis rating comes from a free beer

    Bathrooms are filthy and disgusting. They are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. The rooms are also small and have no natural light. Staff are dismissive. I also believe their rating comes from a free beer for 5 star review. Be warned! Avoid!

    • Récompense liée à un avis for good review

    Ridiculous and useless. Don’t reserve your room after Ha Giang Loop - group of us - some v young - wandering streets at 3am looking for accomm due to their mistake. No apology. Reason for good reviews are drinks bribes - don’t stay here

    • Récompense liée à un avis free drinks for a good review

    The location is really good, you get what you pay for with the hostel in terms of quality. But the beds are decent and had clean sheets. Beware this hostel and a lot of other hotels in Vietnam offer free drinks for a good review.

    • Récompense liée à un avis discount for giving a good review on Hostelworld. Otherwise, the review

    Eberyone gets a discount for giving a good review on Hostelworld. Otherwise, the reviews would never hold up this well. It's a bit dirty and stinky here. The breakfast is amazing and the rooftop is a vibe though. Just an average hostel - nothing great.

    • Récompense liée à un avis free beer for a 5 star review has definitely skewed the rating

    it’s okay- a free beer for a 5 star review has definitely skewed the ratings overall. The dorm was good, en suite toilet was tiny and in the communal loos the majority seemed to always be blocked. breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly. nothing amazing

    • Récompense liée à un avis discount for a good review

    The location is great but I think the hostel is a bit overrated. They offer a discount for a good review fyi. A handful of the toilets were completely blocked, but there were others to use so it was ok. The people there were quite young, early 20s. The pub crawl is alright, but starts with clubs and dancing.

    • Récompense liée à un avis reviews are because they give you a free beer

    I guess most very high reviews are because they give you a free beer to review them highly. Hostel is overall ok, I stayed in a private room so don’t really know if the dorms are ok. Private was expensive for what you can find in Hanoi rooftop is ok but not very busy when I was there. Good laundry service.

    • Récompense liée à un avis reviews, as guests receive 10% discount

    Sadly you can’t trust all of the 10 star reviews, as guests receive 10% discount if they rate the hostel 10 stars. That’s very dishonest from the hostel. Still a decent hostel with good breakfast and nice rooftop, but the bathrooms were always dirty and the staff sometimes quite rude, when they try to sell you a tour, such as ha giang loop

    • Récompense liée à un avis ratings I saw. Pros: The beds were comfortable and the free breakfast

    The hostel is in a good central location but it didn’t live up to the ratings I saw. Pros: The beds were comfortable and the free breakfast is decent. Cons: The bathroom wasn’t the cleanest and I saw a mouse running down the stairs on 2 seperate days. The pool water was also quite dirty and murky so I didn’t go in it.

    • Récompense liée à un avis ratings is due to the promise of a free beer

    Room was fairly dirty, no place to hang clothes up, and air circulation was poor Reception upon check in didn’t even check the booking, and the social events were lackluster comparatively to other hostels we stayed at Only reason this has so many high ratings is due to the promise of a free beer with a good review - don’t trust most of them

    • Récompense liée à un avis 5 star reviews is because you get a free beer

    This place is not great. The only reason it has so many 5 star reviews is because you get a free beer with it. Lame. It’s a cheaper hostel (and the breakfast does actually have great selection) but everything else is way over priced. Many other hostels offer more (towel, bathroom in rooms, and free beer) for the same or cheaper. The staff was nice and had good energy which made it alright
