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.).

DenmarkThis is a beautiful old house so unfortunately the stairs are very steep and there is no elevator.
Very nice place with good food. Breakfast was ordered in the evening and served individually at the table. Great idea. Location right next to the market place made it so easy to see the town.

United Kingdomplenty of stairs to get to my room, but this is a historic building so I would expect nothing less and it didn’t detract from my overall impression of the hotel.
I was on a two week cycle tour of the Netherlands and wanted to stay in good value traditional Dutch accommodation. The Gulden Leeuw did not disappoint. Beautiful location in the centre of town surrounded by historic buildings and close to a harbour and canal network. Comfortable and quiet room, compact bathroom with a good shower and a radiator to dry my cycle clothes . Good Wi-Fi throughout. A lovely restaurant attached where I had a substantial evening meal ( paid separately) as well as my breakfast which came within the price. There was secure parking for my cycle ina nearby garage owned by the hotel.All the staff were friendly and hospitable. I thoroughly recommend an overnight stay at this hotel and the beautiful town of Workum. Very good value compared to some hotels I had stayed in on my cycle tour.

BelgiumYou could also reserve the room with half pension, which is a nice option to consider. The food was good and the breakfast was nice. So, I would stay here again if I travel through.

NetherlandsAll was great! Some room to hang your wet wetsuits for example would have been nice, but we managed. Our room need a small flight of stairs to climb which was not ideal but again we managed fine.
We were staying there as sailors for the Dutch Youth Regatta. The fact that they go an extra mile and not only supply a breakfast but also help in preparing a lunch sandwich package for on the water is simply awesome. Very friendly staff and great restaurant.

BelgiumYou had to book everything you wanted for breakfast the night before. This didn't feel very "generous".
Very located in the center of the village, on the market street. You can walk and see all the traditional boats.
