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.).

Amazing flat just 15 mins walk from the city center. First and foremost, cleanliness and tidiness were top-notch, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights of our stay was the impeccable design of the flat. Every detail seemed carefully curated to enhance comfort and convenience. A particularly charming touch was the fresh tulips that greeted us upon arrival, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the space.

IsraelIt is not is the centre of the city, however, it is not a long way to the center. When I asked for another blanket, they gave me a fitted sheet, which was useless for us, but maybe we just didn’t understand each other.
That was very atmospheric flat with a lot of books and a record-player, above the bed there is a window through which you can see the stars! There also were tea bags and coffee capsules, so we can use it. I felt very comfortable in it. The personal was very nice also.

United KingdomNothing we didn't like, all positive!
Lovely studio with big windows so lots of light, with nice personal touches like the many books and vinyl records, sizable shower room, lovely little terrace on the 1st floor to enjoy the sunshine on. Very handy to have a microwave and a little fridge. In a quiet residential area, yet still close to the centre, walkable but trams are also close and frequent. Overal very pleased and very reasonably priced for such a lovely and unique studio. Thank you to the host!

The room is big enough for two people. They serve good household products and appliances. You can buy the food at the nearby supermarket and use the microwave here. It just makes you feel like you’re at home, especially for those who’re in a long trip.

United Kingdomit’s a top floor studio which means it can get quite hot, we had particularly hot weather so it was to be expected. the fan in the room was very useful!
Brilliant location, quiet residential area that is still very accessible to central Ghent. Lovely studio, very stylishly furnished, the record player was a great addition! very nice terrace to sit out on. The aroma of cooking from downstairs was too hard to resist, the Paella was perfect!

United KingdomAnyone with mobility issues might struggle with the stairs (not a problem for us at all though) and it is a 10/15 min walk to the Old Town so worth bearing in mind for those who prefer to be more central.
Tami is a warm and welcoming host who met us on arrival. The apartment is a perfect base for a couple to explore Ghent. It was well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Lovely modern bathroom.

United KingdomThe heating was on and off in the night. So we felt quite chilly at times and I couldn't sleep very well for the first night. The hot water supply was also not very stable. My bf had a cold shower after me because it was running out of hot water. It might be a temporary issue but still not pleasant in a cold weather.
The place is clean and cosy. It's located in a residential area, very quiet and safe. BTW I like the owner's collection of books and CDs.

United KingdomThe apartment is beautifully appointed and in a quiet residential street. Loved all the small touches that made it feel homely. The owner was friendly on arrival, and even cooks delicious looking meals on site on selected days - the smells from the kitchen were divine although unfortunately never got the chance to try. Would definitely stay again if I ever came back to Gent.

United KingdomEverything was excellent!
I had a truly wonderful experience at Studio Spiegelhof. The arrangements for entry/key collection and directions were very clear. I met the host, Tamara, on the last day and she was very friendly. The studio itself is spacious, well designed, tasteful and well equipped. I loved that there was a sound system, with CDs and LPs to play. It felt very homely. Transport links were excellent, including a tram to the station, plus there was a large supermarket a few minutes walk away. I will definitely book again next time I'm in Ghent!

ItalyThere is no stove, which is sort of a pity because the area is sort of isolated, and restaurants in Ghent are pretty expensive. It is a roof apartment, which means 2 floors of stairs (not comfortable for people who have problems or big luggage. For us it was ok!). The balcony is not the same level as the apartment which means you have to dress up to go there. The area is not very well connected and the public transportation in Ghent is not amazing.
The little apartment is warm and cozy thanks to all the details studied by Tamara to make you feel at home: very nice furnishings, NEspresso for the morning, boiler and foamer for the milk, microwave, nice and comfortable mattress, cool soaps, even umbrellas in case of rain! Tamara leaves you a map of the city and precious suggestions about where to go to eat or visit. You can feel it is made with love!

ItalyThe bathroom is small, and it would have been nice to have a cooking area (not just the microwave).
The Studio is comfy and well equipped. The city centre is reachable by foot in 20 minutes. The check in and check out have been really easy even without meeting our host in person, and we were able to leave our luggage during our last day in Gand.

SwitzerlandThe bathroom is tiny so you only really fit in there one person at a time but that was not really a problem.
Beautiful studio at the top of the house in a cute and quiet street. The room was spacious and cosy. Tamara was very kind and accomodating. We could leave our luggage in the house prior to check in and after check out. The house is ca. a 10 min walk away from the city centre and a short walk away from a tram stop to the train station. Be aware, that the studio is at the top of the house and you have to carry your luggage up the narrow steps. As it is a residential building it doesn't have an elevator.

Use of terrace (although watch out for mosquitoes in season). In a quiet part of the city but only 5 minute walk to nearest tram stop or 10 minute walk into city centre via edge of a park and then through the pretty streets near St Elizabeth Church.
