Work with Old Quarter Review

This channel is read and watched by travellers while they plan Hanoi, and it is built to welcome more than guests. Hotels, kitchens, workshops, operators, media and institutions all reach the quarter through partnerships here, under rules that protect the one asset none of us can buy back: the audience's trust.

Hotels and stays

You run a place travellers sleep in, in or near the Old Quarter. Cooperation can mean hosting our guests well, joining a filmed neighbourhood story, or building a stay plus walk package that Bao Son Travel sells and operates. What it never means is a bought review.

Restaurants and street food

You cook something this quarter is proud of. The honest route onto this channel is the same as it has always been: Suzy eats there, on her own time, and talks about what she finds. Partners can suggest, invite and host a tasting; the verdict stays hers alone.

Artisan workshops and shops

You keep a guild craft alive: silk, silver, paper, medicine, bronze. We are building the living archive of these streets, and workshops that open their doors to filming and to small visitor groups become part of that story and of the guided craft route.

Operators, media and institutions

You resell tours, publish travel media, run a festival or represent a tourism body. Talk to us about co-created routes, content licensing, familiarisation visits under full disclosure, and data honest enough to plan with.

How cooperation works

Say hello properly

Use the form below. It composes one clear message with who you are and what you propose. Short and concrete beats long and glossy.

We talk, honestly

If the idea fits the channel and its rules, we talk it through, usually within two working days. If it does not fit, we say so and why.

Small first, then scale

Every cooperation starts as one small, labelled piece of work: one story, one route, one season. Good results earn the bigger versions.

Our honesty rules, in public

Reviews are never for sale. No payment, gift or commission changes what Suzy says, and commissions never change any ranking on this site.
Paid cooperation is always labelled as paid, in the video, on the page and in the caption. No exceptions, no fine print tricks.
Tours are sold and operated by Bao Son Travel, a licensed company (international tour operator licence 01-370/2015/TCDL-GP LHQT). Partners who want bookable product talk to them through us.
We feature places because the host has genuinely been there. A partner invitation starts a visit; it never buys the conclusion.

These rules are also why partners stay: a channel that cannot be bought is the only kind whose recommendation is worth having.

Nothing is stored on this website. Copy the message and send it through our WhatsApp or Messenger when the channel lines open at launch, or keep it ready and we will announce the partner inbox here. We read every serious proposal and reply within two working days.

Prefer to browse first? See what guests experience on the private tours page, walk the craft streets guide, or read about the host.

Guests looking for a tour belong on the private tours page instead; this form is for organisations. Creators who want to film together are welcome here too, choose Creator collaboration in the form.

Everything commercial runs through Bao Son Travel as the licensed seller and operator. Old Quarter Review is the media and the host; the company is the contract, the invoice and the insurance.
