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.).

AustraliaNaarden streets are very tight and unlimited parking is hard to come by but Jacqueline offered a car spot if we didn’t find street parking but we managed. Stairs up to rooms is typical Dutch narrow and steep. All quite private except you are conscious you are in someone’s home and try to not make too much noise walking about the squeaky floorboards. Jacqueline is super friendly and helpful.
Beautifully stylish B&B in Jacqueline’s home. We had 2 separate rooms. Ours was large with a 4 poster bed, double vanity and spa bath. Small cold toilet which is typical in Holland. Jacqueline was wonderful and even washed our laundry for us free thank you!! Kids room is over 2 levels with one in the attic which had a queen bed, bathtub and towel, dining table, cofffee machine, tv, armchair. Downstairs had a queen bed, shower and tv. Both rooms are cosy and stylish especially the attic. Access between both rooms is via a short hallway at top of stairs and all fairly private.

GermanyThe first staircase was a little bit steep and narrow for carrying bags.
The house‘s central location was excellent because it is in the center of the old fortress ring. The hosts were very kind and supportive. The house is a cute old brickwall house.

GermanyI booked this room because of the jacuzzi, when I asked the owner how to use it, he said he never uses it. So when I switched it on it was disgusting smell in the room also, because the bathroom is not separated from the bedroom. I was really upset and disappointed about it. Another thing, I can complain is that the owners live in the same house, so you can here them and the dog in the morning! It feels more like airbnb than hotel.
Cozy interior, comfy bed.

GreeceWe rent an appartmnet in two levels (1st floor and loft). The access was from a very steep and narrow staircase.
The location its-self was perfect. Nice neigbourhood in an historic town very closed by car to Amsterdam. Friendly and helpful owner. Although the owner lived in the same house (groundfloor) was not problem at all. Value for money accommodation.

United KingdomThe wifi was very poor in the top floor - I only got a connection by standing next to the tv. It would be useful to have instructions on how the tv operates I tried to get it working but to no avail. For me it was comfortable but price/quality could be better.
I stayed in the large suite divided over two floors although only the top floor has a toilet. There is a lot of space and the place is attractively furnished. The property is located right in the centre in a quiet street. The shower is modern and works well.

United KingdomSpacious loft room with flamboyant and quirky decor, located in a beautiful little fortress town just 25 mins by train to Amsterdam. I visited for a day trip last year and resolved to come and stay the night, it was a good choice. Didn't go for breakfast, but the room had a minifridge and coffee maker - combined with comfy bed and great shower it's all I need! Long walk out to the marina for dinner at Porterhouse - killer burgers. Jacqueline was a great host as well, ended up chatting with her and other locals over drinks outside van Demmers cafe.
