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 Kingdom..Getting there later than foreseen, but that was unpredictable. Yet, my host made it easy and beyond welcoming for me to get into their property.
The location, meeting my host the very next day, and being warmly greeted by them added to being given some suggestions and directions about visiting the area.

BelgiumReally nice apartment for 2 person. We survived the closing of everything in Christmas thanks to the kitchen. The location is just right next to the center of Monschau. The host is absolutely friendly and helpful. The owner family made sure that we got everything we needed.

NetherlandsWe had a great stay at Haus Barkhausen during our Christmas holidays! We stayed in one of the smaller apartments: Gartenblick. It was very nice, clean and comfortable, with charming old furniture and provisions for the kitchen, and very well heated for the winter. It was very easy to get there with the bus, as the apartment is very close to the city centre. Our host was also very easy to reach. Will definitely stay again there if we visit Monschau in the future!

United KingdomThe pillows were very soft on the beds, would be great to have some firmer options for those who are a little more picky.
The location of the apartment was perfect, just a short walk down the hill into town. The host called to make sure that we had checked in ok and that was a nice touch. The apartment was lovely and cosy, lots of period furniture and some lovely historic pictures and photographs. The kitchen was very well equipped with fridge, freezer and coffee machine, (with beans!) and everything else you would need. Would recommend a stay at Haus Barkhausen.

United KingdomNo real bad points - the apartment has some steps to get into it as it's on the first floor and a couple of our party had some minor mobility issues. But we knew that before we went so we were prepared.
The apartment is large and traditional and was well stocked with everything there that we required. The wifi was very good and we had our own allocated car parking spot next to the building which helped. Monschau itself is very pretty and the centre a 5 mins walk from the apartment. Johannes (the owner) was available whenever required.

GermanyThe floors in the apartment are not even, but this is quite well explainable by the age of the house. Everything was good for three healthy adults, but the house is not well suited for disabled and elderly people and people with small children.
Authentic historical building: large size of the apartment; well equipped kitchen; large bathroom with bath; comfortable living room; easy procedures of checking in and out; proximity to the town centre

NetherlandsThe cleaning fee is a little high but I understand it's a very small town so there are probably not many options.
What an amazing find just outside the center (just 5 minutes walk). Loved that you could hear the babbling river from the bedroom. The lodge is rustic but that's exactly what we loved about it, everything was clean i.e the beds, linens and towels. Beds were very comfortable. The parking spot is also very handy in a town with not a lot of parking, although hopefully you are a confident driver because it is a little tight.

NetherlandsThere are not many things to complain about. The water stream in the shower was rather weak - maybe it could bother some people. The floor in the house was sometimes a bit uneven (probably because it is a very old house) - it didn't bother me, but maybe some people would mind it more.
The location is quiet and peaceful and very close to the town. The parking place is within 5 minutes stroll. The house is very warm and cosy, nicely old-style - with a soul, so to speak. I really liked it, it brought back some childhood memories. The facilities in the house are very good - fully equipped kitchen, perfectly working kitchen equipment, huge fridge, very nice coffee machine. The communication with the host was very good, he was extremely friendly and helpful.

GermanyEverything was perfect.
The apartment was well appointed; everything was thought of. Kitchenware was of good quality and there were many unique options that are usually not found in rentals. The apartment we rented was on the first floor, the Bel Etage, and it was completely charming and quite large, with tall ceilings and large rooms. The location was good, just a short walk to the town square, and also some hiking trails in the hills. We were surprised how many cute shops were in the town. We went to the Aachen Weihnachtsmarkt but ended up finding more in the Monschau shops for Christmas gifts. The landlord was very attentive and helpful.
