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.).

Got given a free upgrade to a beautiful room. It’s a cool hotel in an old church with lots of character. Very helpful staff.

BelgiumHotel in a former church. The rooms in the church itself are worth the extra price above the annex if you like to wake up looking at stained glass (in our case, of an angel). Very atmospheric stay, well-sized and super comfortable bed!

BelgiumCleanliness is not top. The toilet seat was not completely clean when we arrived and 2 of the towels had large stains. The floor in the breakfast area was very sticky both days that we stayed. If these issues were not there I could have easily given the hotel a 9/10.
The hotel's location is excellent. We stayed in the church area and the rooms were exactly as described. The hotel is really beautiful and met our expectations.

BelgiumI had higher expectations. For a suite I expected the room to be bigger with a king bed (we had a queen size bed), almost no closet space, very dark. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. It felt.. Meh. The breakfast doesn't have a lot of options. It felt like, wow nice idea, nice windows and then...ok. A really small 'real' window, little natural light and fresh air. It's nice to visit once, feel the experience but I don't think I'll revisit.
The bathroom was clean, the bathtub is very good and relaxing.

NetherlandsThe breakfast selection was pretty small, it wasn't worth its price. You get much better quality and choice in any cafe just a 4-minute walk away from the hotel. There is very little space to store your suitcase and clothes in the room.
Great room with a comfy bed. We didn't have those beautiful headboards like in the pictures, but it was nice. The coffee machine, safe and fridge - everything was working and clean. Great location on a quiet street, just 5 min walk from a cheap parking... The city centre was less than a 5 min walk away. Amazing locations! Especially, when the roadworks will end :)

NetherlandsTook a long time to find hotel by car. So many closed roads and special driving limitations. Would be good if that was registered via the hotel site. We ended up parking in a garage that was 5 min walk whereas took us 30 mins going around in circles by car. We did not take breakfast as feel 23 euro per person a little overpriced. Only a coffee machine in the room. Nothing for tea drinkers.
Lovely building and the room was a great size. Bed was comfortable. Good shower. Water supplied in mini fridge. Location is also good. Easy to walk to city. But getting to hotel by car was difficult.
