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.).

BelgiumThe staff in the bar and breakfast room are not exactly friendly, they could be called 'brusque' at best, but I found them quite offensive, especially in the bar
It is a great looking hotel in the middle of the beautiful city center of Ghent

IrelandCan't fault anything.
Superbly situated for exploring Ghent on foot (and Ghent is well worth exploring). Very modern and comfortable, very professionally run, highly competent and very helpful staff. Very good and easily accessible parking facilities which aren't that common in hotels in this type of location (be sure to follow the hotel's advice and register your car in advance to legally access the city centre).We had a flat tyre on our day of departure, and the manager could not have been more helpful in getting it sorted for us. Thank you, sir!

United StatesThe only thing we didn't like was the elevator and lack of stairs. If there are multiple people trying to use the elevator, at different floors, it can take a long time to get on the elevator and then get to your desired floor. This is the elevator furthest from the front desk. When we went to go check out, it literally took about 15 minutes to get on the elevator and then get off. It wouldn't be so bad if there were steps to take. There are steps, but they lead you outside of the building only.
The location was perfect. Right in the middle of everything. The bar was very nice with a huge TV screen above it. Staff was great. Drinks were very good. Bar food was good.

United KingdomBreakfast was expensive but we were happy to take a snack in the Poppi Café.
Location is perfect right in the middle of historic Ghent. Car parking is available on site but the star of the show was the hotel manager who took us on a guided tour of the hotel and a superb view of Ghent from the viewing platform on the roof. All in all a great experience

NetherlandsWould like the staff at the reception to be friendlier though overall they were good. What I did not appreciate is the fact that the hotel could not provide a single generic paracetamol pill when I had a headache. It was late in the evening when the pharmacies and grocery stores are closed.
The breakfast was excellent. The location is simply the best

Fabulous room, and view. Brilliant extras like toiletries, bottled water every day,a chocolate everyday. Excellent breakfasts. All the staff we came across were very helpful and welcoming and because it was my daughter's 50th birthday they left a card and chocolates in our room. We can't thank you all enough for making our stay so special. It was our first stay in a Marriott hotel,I hope they are all as perfect as this one

The property’s location is fantastic, on the canal and minutes away from all the attractions in the city. Breakfast was amazing, with a lot of options. Staff were very kind and helpful.
