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.).

CanadaMaybe if there were a petting zoo? lol. Nothing; it was perfect.
Everything was perfect; a kind, charming (for real) laid back but attentive host who thought of every little detail. The suite was comfortable, huge, and quirky- very 'non-hotel' cookie cutter. Location is killer for sightseeing, walking, but also feels miles away in terms of peacefulness. He thoughtfully provides fantastic trappist beers at supermarket/wholesale cost in your room. The deck was a lovely little oasis, the bed was comfy, everything was super clean, and for what you get, the value is incredible. The large breakfasts are typical Belgian fare, and cooked with love and skill. Worth the money- you can often times skip a lunch, they are so big.

United Kingdomwasn’t happy with booking.com who didn’t make it clear that the parking was 20 euros extra over. would have like the bathroom to have some work top space for toothbrushes and shavers etc. A bit picky… but would improve the room a lot.
friendly and helpful staff, great food cooked superbly, and a fabulous location. A charming building as well.

United KingdomStaff could have been more attentive in evening when visiting the bar outside under the canopy. Yes they were busy but hard to get their attention at times. Nice for breakfast to be a bit earlier for start. Room smaller than expected.
Location superb. Safe parking for cars - very helpful with that too. Staff very pleasant on arrival and during stay. Rooms very nice. Complimentary glass of bubbly was nice bonus.

United StatesWhat a charming little hotel. The hotel and the setting is absolutely beautiful - a perfect blend of historic and modern. Our favorite part: it's set a little away from the more crowded/touristy parts of Bruges yet an easy walk to everything. We felt like we were in a little oasis. Dinner and breakfast at the hotel was delicious. Staff was warm.

United KingdomWe were happy with everything.
The location was superb and being able to park the car there was a fantastic bonus. We loved being so close to the old city sites and atmosphere. The hotel staff were so helpful. We chose to have dinner in the restaurant which was a lovely experience- great menu and setting.

United Arab EmiratesReally nothing. If I had to comment, I'd say that the bathroom design was a bit odd, with little space to put your own things, as the hand basin was really, really huge. But that is nit-picking, and didn't detract from the pleasure of our stay at what is a really lovely property.
The room was lovely, quiet and private, with a gorgeous view over the Minnewater park nearby. The bed was super comfortable and we slept well in the quiet each night, which is always the aim but not always what is achieved when staying in a hotel. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. We only ate once in the restaurant but the meal was very good. The whole hotel has a nice atmosphere - an old building, but modern decor, a lively restaurant and bar in a quiet park, far from the crowds but just a short walk to the busy areas of the city.

BelgiumLovely setting in the Minnewater Park and so only 10 minute walk from station. We really enjoyed the restaurant on our first night and liked the " standard" breakfast tray provided, although the optional yoghurt dish is a visual work of art if you order it.Friendly staff

United KingdomRoom was quirky and looked good making the most of the roof space but a little awkward to walk around the bed. lighting & heating controls were good but more complex than needed and clearly previous guests have had difficulty getting to grips with the controls as the panel had been damaged. The Media TV constantly notified that ‘storage capacity was running out’ but no obvious way to remedy. 2 pillows were provided which made sitting on the bed comfortable but for sleeping one was square and too large and one was a bit to thin so didn’t sleep as well as we could have.
Stylish welcoming and great location. Staff were helpful and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomFor the price, the room was average size, I felt some of the photos were misleading - the description should definitely state that baths are only available in suite rooms. I did not realise this.
Comfy bed, clean, well decorated. Coffee tea provided, hairdryer, safe. Quiet. Amazing location in the park, 10mins walk from the station. The outside bar was amazing. Warm and cozy and welcoming.
