Why only public places?

Every booking takes place where other people are around. It keeps both of you safe and keeps the time about the activity. Hotel rooms, homes and private rooms are not allowed.

How do I suggest one of these places?

When you book, type the venue in the booking form, or post on the board with the place and time and let people reply.

Can I meet somewhere not on this list?

Yes, as long as it is a public place in Hanoi of the kinds listed in the venue rules. This page is a starting point, not a limit.
