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.).

The location of the "little home away from home" was excellent. It is located in the historic district and is very walkable to the town center. Home is located in a very quiet area and very private. We found the house to be very clean and filled all our needs. Our hostess, Inge, is very accommodating and gave us a very warm welcome upon arrival.

Located within walking distance from the train station on the main canal. The bed and bedding gave me the best sleep in 4 weeks of travelling. Very good shower. The owner is very pleasant. The tourist walking guide provided was perfect to see Gouda on foot. Private accommodation at the rear of the main house. The kitchen was very well equipped not that I used it. Coffee, tea and milk provided.

Inge & Sam have made sure you have everything you need, and more. It is all about the small things. The property is very nice with a living room and a separate very comfy room. They had prepared guides of Gouda and welcomed us with local Stroopwaffels. The apartment is located at 7min walk from the town center and 10min from supermarkets. Thank you!!

United Statesaccess to the sleeping g area is via a spiral staircase. At first we thought this would be very hard on our knees, but it is not so bad if you go slow. In the end this was not a problem and we would stay here again if visiting Gouda.
excellent location, close to the old town center. very quiet. Inge is an excellent and very accommodating host. we were able to store our luggage prior to the official check inn time. She made a taxi reservation for our trip to Rotterdam and she texted us to make sure all had gone well and we had made it to our destination . We appreciated the nice touches (bottle of wine and other drinks and a package of the famous Gouda Kamphuisen siroopwafels).

A gem of a stay. Our host was so incredibly kind and left us a small local snack, which was just delightful. The place is so much larger than I expected and the loft bedroom upstairs is private and cozy. We even met Pablo her cat, who is just a goofball. Location is also top, quiet but also within easy walking distance of both centraal and the city center. Do mind that the shower is in plain open view of the bed...

AustraliaWe were not expecting a tight spiral staircase, especially as the only toilet was downstairs. We needed to leave our suitcases downstairs which was sometimes inconvenient but the best workaround. The bathroom upstairs had no door between it and the bedroom so did lack some privacy. Whilst these issues were present we still enjoyed our accommodation.
The host Inge was very good, professional, friendly and accomodating. The accommodation was absolutely spotless, well appointed and in a great location close to everything, that was in a very pretty residential environment and quiet. Inge arranged for someone to meet us so that we could leave our suitcases and head off to explore until our accommodation was ready, this was much appreciated.
