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 StatesThe walk from the train station was a little long - 20 to 25 minutes.
Breathe was a comfortable and modern hotel. It was really nice to have a refrigerator and other kitchen equipment in our room. Even though the bathroom was small it was was well appointed with nice shampoo and body wash. The manager and other staff were friendly and very willing to help us navigate Leiden and this neighborhood. There were good beds. Breakfast was plentiful, healthy and a little pricey.

Reception received my parcels and deliveries for me kindly. Thick curtains that help control light for resting. Location is splendid for Leiden centre, walk easily to get all around.

ItalyMy only complaint would be the pillows.... fantastic is you like deep, soft pillows. Not great for anyone with neck issues. Perhaps memory foam firm pillows should also be available.
The location is ideal, 5 minutes walk to the centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean, everything seems new and the toiletries and scented candles smell divine.

United KingdomShower screen was fitted slightly oddly so it was easy to flood the bathroom. Breakfast quite expensive - but the hotel is so close to cafes it's easy to do your own thing instead.
Lovely location just outside the busy centre, but only a few minutes walk back to shops and restaurants. Rooms were light and airy, clean and comfortable. Lovely relaxing stay with all the little extras to make everything easy. Staff could not be more helpful! Everyone we spoke to was able to offer help and suggestions (in fantastic English as well!) We would definitely stay here again! Recommend hiring bikes - reception will sort this for you with ease!
