Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaEverything was super. It would have cost more to be five minutes closer to the centre and so I think the location was fine. The centre of Ghent is small and easy to get around. Maybe being a little flashlight or use your phone light if arriving in the dark. The lock box numbers are quite small. Perhaps there was a light in the lobby but I couldn’t find it.
Very clean apartment in a quiet area of Ghent. 7 minute walk from the Ghent Belfry. 2 minute walk from the mini Carefour market. Within walking distance of one of the train stations. Large apartment. Bed is very comfortable - perfect balance between a soft bed and firm bed. Ellen kindly brought me a softer pillow when I mentioned I found the pillows hard. Kitchen contained everything I needed to make meals. I found the restaurants were very expensive and so was pleased to be able to make quick and easy meals in the apartment. It had oil and herbs stocked which was a really good surprise as most accommodations don’t have those. Everything you might want in a kitchen was provided - from utensils to cheese graters! I arrived at night and as it was dark and rainy out and so I wished I’d had a small flashlight with me. Often I’ve found European apartment entrance ways a bit dark. There might have been a light though and maybe I just couldn’t find it. The water pressure in the shower was perfect. the tv was fun to have to see some foreign language programmes. Even though there are other buildings nearby, you can leave the curtains open - it’s a school across the way and no one is looking out, so let the light in! I didn’t get a chance to use the balcony but I imagine it would be fun on a hot summer’s night. I’m very honest in my reviews and highly recommend this apartment. The location was great! And I found it good value. Closer toward the main canal would be good if you want to be out at night. But when solo traveling I am happy to come ‘home’ once it gets dark. If I come back to Ghent, I’d stay here again! This is very large for a solo traveller like me but a nice treat. It would be ideal for a couple. And even with a child or two, the apartment would work well. My favourite place in Ghent was the Belfry. It was fascinating. Well worth the reasonable entry fee to go up the tower and to read all about its history and see the two original dragons.

United StatesThere is nothing to dislike.
We are in the middle of a six week European trip and only rent apartments. We do 2-3 trips a year and have seen every type available, and this on is simply……perfect in every way….Location-a five minute walk to everything, but quiet for sleeping. Style-open, airy, well designed and tastefully decorated. Function-everything you need at your fingertips. Communication-timely, thorough and plenty of information.

United KingdomGood quiet but central location, 10 minutes walk to centre of town. Very secure property. Good size apartment, very clean and comfortable and all necessary amenities provided. Very nicely decorated. Situated 15 min walk from the train station (Gent Dampoort not Gent St Pieters - Dampoort is much closer to the centre of Gent than St Pieters, which is on the edge of town). Lots of English-speaking TV channels. Nice balcony. Close to supermarket.
