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 Statesour room was located on the second floor and im not sure wether there was a family room above us but we were hearing people running and moving chairs very early all morning. Nothing that the hotel can do about it but maybe for light sleepers get a room on one of the top floor .
We stayed in the room overlooking the canal and it was beautiful and roomy ! staff is very helpful, location is great ; walking distance to everything but quiet at nighyt, breakfast is great and bountiful! We were fortunate enough to have great weather so we enjoyed cooling off in the pool. Would definitely stay here again

United StatesEverything was great.
Beautiful property! We just finished a 2 night stay and it could not have been more pleasant. The hotel is housed in a historic building right on one of the main canals in Gent and the views from our room were simply stunning. The room we originally booked was unavailable so we were upgraded into a luxury suite with a balcony and canal view. The staff was so kind and helpful and really added a level of luxury we weren't expecting. The breakfast was incredible and this is one of the view properties we found with a rooftop pool which we fully enjoyed ever day after walking around town. Incredible location, staff and comfort. Five stars!

United KingdomBeautiful location, right on the river. Our room had everything we needed and more, fresh bottled water and the fridge was a bonus, I loved the whirlpool bath. Bottled water was available day or night from reception, free of charge. Breakfast was great, a fantastic selection and eggs cooked to order. Staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant. I would certainly stay again.

United KingdomTheir booking chat was hacked, and as a result we paid the cost of the reservation to hackers. I was very surprised that the hotel didn't mention this when we checked in. I asked about the progress of the case, and they said it was being looked into and was "very bad", but they didn't ask whether we were affected. I did expect they would do something even as a small gesture, like free late checkout, or free drinks. I also would have liked a double mattress for such an expensive room, rather than two single mattresses joined together. This wasn't massively comfy.
The views, facilities and cleanliness. Staff were friendly enough, although when we arrived an hour early and the room wasn't ready, they said it would be ready "around" the time we were officially due to check in, or half an hour late. Would expect it to be ready on time, even if not early.

River view balcony. Spacious room. True vacation vibe with bathrobes and slippers. Flat bottle of water offered daily. We could purchase drinks from the bar and take it to our room. Lift access to upper levels. Great selection for breakfast. We had the option to sit outside facing the river whilst eating. Easy enough for a taxi to get to. Great location- center of town.

United StatesYour bookings getting hacked.
We liked everything about the hotel and its location. It’s a gem. However, hackers got through your security and wreaked havoc with their (and our) booking, causing that nice family owned hotel much grief and the defrauded guests much difficulty. How will you plan to make it up to everyone involved? Again 10/10 hotel itself. Charming staff, ideal location, wonderful rooms.

One of the best hotel rooms we have stayed in for a city break. Situated in heart of Ghent looking over the river.
