How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The way you had to get to your room was really awkward. Room needed a bit more updating like hooks for the towels in the bathroom, higher bed side tables and a second suitcase holder for the second bedroom. Long enough cable for the kettle to be plugged in and working light bulbs in the main room. Safe would have been good.
It was quite at night times. Breakfast really great. Staff very nice. Location very good

Unfortunately there was only one power outlet working in my room, which had to be used to recharge my phone, so there was no way of using the mini fridge, kettle, and lamp at the same time. I asked for a power strip, but they didn't have one available.
The position of the hotel is great, with lots of stores and restaurants nearby, close to the city center and main attractions, also close to subway stations. Staff was nice and the room was spacious with a comfortable bed and good shower.

Nothing so bad really. It's a bit odd to have to go downstairs from the lobby, then down a hall to reach an elevator to go up to your floor. Could be inconvenient with overly large/heavy luggage, but quite manageable with small suitcase, though watch your head if using the stairs instead. I find it rather expensive, but such are Brussels prices, so this is likely still cheaper than many other comparable places in that part of town.
The staff very friendly and helpful, clean/comfortable room with good WiFi, quite a good and diverse breakfast. The location is near a tram stop, making it easy to get from/to the airport, so a good place (also plenty of nearby shops/restaurants), especially if you need to be based in that part of town.

My room had mold under the window, the hand soap was almost empty, there was no conditioner, just a 2-in-1 shampoo and liquid soap, and on one of the days I stayed the shower didn't get hot.
The staff is very friendly and attentive and the location of the hotel is great, you can walk to the Grand Place and there are 2 metro stations just a few minutes away.
