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 studio was spotless!! So clean, very nicely decorated, and comfortable bed. Within short walking distance to museums, grocery store and restaurants. Host was helpful and we were able to drop off our luggage for storage upon arrival.

United StatesThe shower was different than I’m used to. The water got everywhere, but most likely that’s because I’ve never used a shower with an opening like that. Ceilings are low! The warnings are on point, but once you get used to them they’re not as bad.
Wonderful location. Close to both the museums and the central Amsterdam area. And, close to the metro or Tram if you needed to go further out. The trip from the train station took less than 10 minutes, and that was when I didn’t know where I was going. Comfortable bed, and a cozy room for the time you’re in it. You can’t cook, but you can make sandwiches, coffee, or tea. Lots of space to make whatever you need.

AustraliaNothing. It was perfect for us.
Beautifully renovated apartment in a picturesque location by the Amstel, with everything you need and the most comfortable bed ever! The street outside is quiet yet you’re just a few minutes stroll to lively bars and restaurants and nearby Rembrandtsquare. The hosts provided helpful information including great local restaurant recommendations. Late check out was also appreciated.

United KingdomFrom both the perspectives of a designer and traveler I couldn’t possibly fault it.
I spent a long weekend in Amsterdam, I can only describe the Amstel Palace as my home away from home. Superbly located, within walking distance to all I wished to see. It is a wonderfully decorated apartment to a high standard, and the hosts ensured that I had an impeccable stay. I will stay here again next time I visit.

AustraliaThe studio was a wonderful place to stay amidst the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam! The location was perfect: a quiet street with easy access to anywhere we wanted to go due to excellent public transport. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have had in Europe! The hosts were lovely and answered any questions we had very promptly, while giving us plenty of privacy. A perfect little sanctuary in Amsterdam, highly recommend!

United StatesThe steps of varying width down from the sidewalk to the apartment was challenging but appears to be the norm for the lower quarters of most of the old houses in this part of the city, so we adjusted to it fairly quickly. Although a refrigerator was provided, some freezer capacity would have been nice to bring back items like ice cream from the grocery to enjoy while in the apartment. But, overall, no real complaints about anything important.
The location in the Amstel neighborhood was a fantastic experience of approximating life in Old Amsterdam. The constant diverse boating activities taking place in the Amstel right across the street from the apartment provided wonderful entertainment. We enjoyed walking the streets on both sides of the river and the various canals perpendicular to the river. A good supermarket was close by, nearly to Rembrandtsquare, in one of the large buildings currently housing the offices of Booking.com, The apartment was very nicely renovated, and the bed and other furnishings were wonderful. Although we did not meet the hosts personally, their email instructions for checking in and out were excellent and they included some nice welcoming touches. It was a pleasant walk to a large choice of restaurants, the Flower Market and public transportation.

It was lovely to sit and read in the evening and the hosts are very gracious! Nice to feel like we had a home in Amsterdam rather than just a hotel room.

AustraliaA few steep, narrow steps to gain entry to the apartment gave me a fright when I first arrived as I have a knee injury, however it was manageable. I didn’t have any problem with the low ceiling, though anyone a bit over 180 cm might not have as much clearance.
It’s a lovely space, comfortable and spacious, close to public transport (or walking distance for the fit) to access places of interest. The bed was sooo comfortable, instant hot water in the shower, its location on the Amstel Canal was picturesque and serene. The owners were very considerate to ensure I had everything I needed and were quick to respond to my queries.
