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.).

United StatesThe only issue was that based on the website, we thought there would be laundry and planned to do laundry when in town, but no laundry service was available. Please update the website and booking.com, as that was the one letdown.
Clean, friendly staff and a great location, Nice bathroom set up.

United StatesRight in the middle of the action but once in the hotel, secluded and quiet. Wonderful, uniquely decorated rooms, sized more like a small apartment than a hotel room, with a beautiful bathroom, too. Breakfast in downstairs restaurant, with very helpful and happy staff, and excellent food.

AustraliaThe step up to the toilet and bathroom is a bit unusual and there was a bad smell emanting from the shower drain which almost caused us to change rooms but to the credit of the staff (or possibly good luck) it was remedied quickly. As I said, we wouldn't hesitate to return.
The location is superb; couldn't ask for better. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Amo who was there most of our time. We would certainly go back.

United KingdomWe did have a slight issue with the rooms door. The staff did look into this but were unable to solve in during the staff. Felt more comfortable that the entrance/ lobby door was shut and locked so only other guests had access to the building.
The hotel has a really good location, just a 5 minute walk from central station. It's located close to lots of shops, bars and restaurants. We managed to move around solely on foot. We didn't need to walk more than 20mins to navigate across and explore the capital. I liked that the entrance was locked and a member of staff was always present at the door. Breakfast was simple but effective with lovely coffee and fresh orange juice.

ChinaThe hotel boasts an excellent "location" right at the heart of the action, offering the convenience and vibe of a central spot. The "room" was comfortably appointed and clean, though the noise levels from the bustling business district below were somewhat noticeable—not that it mattered much since one doesn't choose this place for a sleep retreat. As for the "breakfast," it was rather uninspiring and on the sparse side, which wouldn't be an issue for those who tend to skip the first meal of the day. All in all, I was very pleased with the experience.

This hotel could not be better located. Friendly staff, comfortable if basic rooms but to be a two minute walk from La Grande Place and the conference centre at Mont des Arts is fantastic

United KingdomThe massive glaring problem at Hotel des Galeries is that you are not given a key to the building, only a card for your room. You have to bang on the front door and a member of staff sat at the desk there is supposed to let you in. SUPPOSED to. This is very uncomfortable on its own. But three times during our three night stay there was no one there to let us in. Once it was seven o clock in the morning and very cold and pouring with rain and we were left waiting for some fifteen minutes. This system is NOT SAFE if you are on your own and/or vunerable. On the third happening we were so fed up that I broke in through the restaurant next door and walked around. Also this hotel is advertised as having rooms with balconies. It has ONE (I believe it room 11) balcony out of 20+ rooms. I had booked to stay here and booked a room with a balcony, however on check in my friends got the balcony room. It was a really nice balcony though! Lastly, our room had a lovely bath. Unfortunately it couldn't be used. The water level just didn't go up, despite my running it for an hour. And no it wans't the plug-hole either, it was the overflow. Probably an easy fix!
The location is AMAZING. Perfect for the bars and restaurants and the Christmas market. It felt very luxurious and I loved the coffee machine. The bathrooms are GORGEOUS. Great high ceilings and very little noise despite being on a major thoroughfare.

United StatesIt was noisier than I expected. Could hear both street noise and a crying baby at all hours- 2am, 6 am - somewhere on the property. The latter was probably just bad luck.
Location is fabulous and it has a nice, spacious, functional design and a funky vibe. The bathroom is enormous with a huge soaking tub and a full shower. The place smells like the bakery next door. Yum!

CanadaWhile the hotel itself has great potential, it is let down by lack of care. For example, in the shower there was rust, a hint of mildew and a lot of missing grout; there is a gap between baseboards and the floor; the bedroom carpet has seen better days; the chair in the bedroom had a broken seat; some of the towels were discoloured. So while our stay was fine, these things made the stay left comfortable. In addition, the rooms were lacking a deep clean (clearly the bedsheets and towels were clean and common surfaces were cleaned, but the window ledges a couple of the bathroom walls and a few other spots needed cleaning. Finally, we ran out of hot water every day.
First, the location of this hotel is excellent. Minutes walk from the central train station, on the edge of the St. Hubert royal galleries, and a quick walk to the grand place - you’re in the middle of everything. (I note that as with any place with such a central location, it is a bit noisy, but nothing that kept us up at night.) Second, the rooms are very large. Our room was the king room, which had a bedroom with a chair, desk, and door, an entry area with luggage storage and shelving, tea/coffee station, and a massive bathroom with stand alone both and walk in shower. Third, the water pressure was excellent. Fourth, the staff were great. The main lobby in the building is tiny and for guests only, and the staff there was so pleasant. Fifth, the internet was good.

GermanyRoom went towards the street. Due to the building being old and windows not having soundproofing, it was very loud during the nights over the weekend. The rooms towards the back are probably much more quiet. The bed was big and comfy, but a little hard for me personal taste.
Lovely rooms of generous size with nice design for a unique experience. Friendly staff. Great location direct in the Brussel city center.
