Booking.com reveals Vietnam’s most welcoming destinations for 2026
VOV.VN - Booking.com, one of the world’s leading digital travel platforms, has announced the 10 most welcoming destinations in Vietnam as part of the 14th edition of its Traveller Review Awards.
They include Hoi An Ancient Town in Quang Nam province, Mai Chau in Hoa Binh province, Cu Lao Thu in Binh Thuan province, Ninh Binh province, Ha Giang province, Con Dao, Phong Nha in Quang Binh province, Da Lat, Phu Quoc Special Zone of Kien Giang province, and Cao Bang province.
This year’s list for Vietnam features a diverse range of destinations, from historic old towns and tranquil mountain retreats to sun-drenched coastlines. These destinations reflect the breadth of Vietnam’s travel landscape, united by a shared spirit of hospitality that continues to leave a strong impression on visitors.
Powered by more than 370 million verified traveller reviews worldwide, the awards recognise partners who consistently deliver outstanding hospitality and service. In 2026, 1.81 million partners across 221 countries and territories are being recognised globally, a 5% increase compared with the previous year. This includes 1,817,848 accommodation providers, 1,977 rental car companies and 137 airport transfer suppliers.
In Vietnam, 13,052 accommodation partners, including 6,503 homes, were recognised with a Booking.com Traveller Review Award, reflecting the country’s growing hospitality sector and commitment to delivering memorable guest experiences.
Globally, Italy continued to lead for the ninth consecutive year with 214,666 award-winning partners, followed by France (170,596) and Spain (152,292). Germany (111,685) and the United Kingdom (93,989) round out the top five.
Booking.com’s country head for Vietnam Branavan Aruljothi said a destination is defined as much by the warmth of its people as by its landscapes and heritage. Whether it is a host in Hoi An preserving architectural history or a local community in Ha Giang and Mai Chau welcoming travellers into their daily lives, he added, these interactions shape experiences that travellers remember long after their journey ends.
“The Traveller Review Awards are our way of recognising these hospitality heroes and expressing gratitude from Booking.com and millions of travellers from all around the world,” Branavan Aruljothi said.
