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 KingdomA little disconcerting to have a clear glass door into the shower enclosure from the bedroom. Make sure you are staying with someone you don't mind sharing your ablutions with. 😁
This hotel exceeded all expectations. It was ideally located and a fabulous find in this wonderful city. Quirky, beautifully decorated with elegant rooms and stunning restaurants. I would like to revisit in summer when I'm sure the courtyard garden will come to life.

GermanyThe stairs up to our room very pretty steep, especially with luggage, but the hotel personnel instantly helped with that. Parking costs 35 EUR, wich I find quite expensive.
The hotel is located very centrally, so you can walk to all the sights and restaurants. It is in a beautiful old building and the whole hotel is furnished very tastefully. Our room was spacious enough, even had a little terrace and the bed was very comfortable. I would also like to mention the hotel staff, they were extraordinarily welcoming and nice. I would love to stay there again and next time try the restaurant in the hotel.

United StatesIt would be nice to have a second table to use for a laptop (the desk was small for two people). More, and brighter, lighting would be a plus as well.
We liked the historic building that had be very sensitively repurposed into a lovely hotel, especially the exposed wooden beams that had been kept in our top-floor room. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, both for checking in and out.

United KingdomI genuinely cannot think of anything that could be changed or bettered
There was an error - of my making! - in the booking. However, the receptionist made the appropriate arrangements and we spent the night in the Bridal Suite ! The receptionist not only recommended a restaurant for dinner, but when we arrived at the restaurant there was a very thoughtful card from the hotel wishing us a good evening. Having worked in hotels for many years, there is no doubt in my mind that she is one of the best receptionists I have come across. Breakfast is a mixture of buffet and a la carte service and was good and plentiful. Gouda is a beautiful town and this architecturally and historically important hotel building is one of its joys

DenmarkCharming slice of luxury hidden in the center of Gouda old town. A true hidden gem. 100% recommend. The restaurant Lizz (which has just got its first Michelin Star) was a lovely surprise. I am very pleased they had a table for an unsuspecting walk-in.

United KingdomThere is not a vast amount of hotel accommodation in Gouda and, as we were on foot, this hotel was our best choice. However, it is expensive. That is not to say that we felt overcharged in any way. It is a luxury hotel. If I had to criticise, I would have to say that the lack of a hand basin in the toilet is a mistake. Also, who but the extremely young and glamorous would want a mirror on the back of the toilet door?
This hotel is in a beautiful very old building that has been sympathetically transformed into a gem. The check in staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel location is not too long a walk from the railway station and you are right in the old town. Our room was quiet and peaceful and had every comfort. The hotel restaurant is really exceptional and the inclusive breakfast was lovely. The hotel smelled wonderful. There have been a lot of remarks about the ‘en-suite’ layout of the bedrooms which make it sound as though you are showering or using the toilet in full view of the other occupant. This is not the case. The toilet is in it’s own room and the shower is a large walk-in arrangement behind a solid wall. Only the hand basin is in full view.

United KingdomThe hotel has some pre-bookable parking spaces in a carpark called Klein Amerika Parking Lot, which is a bit of a walk to/from the hotel.
This hotel is an absolute gem, with beautiful rooms, beautiful courtyard and fabulous staff. The breakfast was amazing, with a fab selection of menu options. The location couldn’t be more central, with the market square, shops, restaurants and bars all a short walk from the hotel.
