How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewExcellent location with an easy walk into town . Large windows and a close up view of Sint Anna church
We had to keep moving the big armchairs around to be able to get to the bathroom with the windows open. But it would not stop us from staying here again!

Verified reviewGreat apartment in a fantastic location. In a very quiet street but less than 10 mins walk to the main square. Perfect. Clean and well presented, perfect for a short stay in Bruges. Good instructions and helpful host. Keycode is a super idea for the main door and apartment door, so you don't have to worry about losing a key.
Nothing.

Verified reviewVery quiet location about 5 min from the beginnings of the centre of town. Bed very comfy. Nice welcome gift. Very nice rain shower.
Only downside was the toilet being in the hallway rather than the ensuite bathroom. OK, it was for us and us alone, it was a bit of an inconvenience in the middle of the night etc. and not being able to wash your hands after visiting until you have used the keypad to get into the room is far from hygienic. I'd recommend a mini sink be fitted if at all possible.

Verified reviewReally enjoyed my stay at the APL8 St-Anna B&B. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated - I couldn't have been happier during my stay. The B&B is located within walking distance of most of the main sights, but was also nearby a bus stop, so in all it was very easy to travel to/from the property. Francis was very welcoming, and responded to my messages very quickly. He was also able to provide a list of restaurants he recommended.
My only comment would be that there wasn't daily housekeeping, so my bins weren't emptied and my used mugs/glasses not replaced.

Verified reviewWe loved staying at APL8 St-Anna B&B. We found the location to be great and within comfortable walking distance to all the main attractions and museums. We only used the bus to go from the train station to the B&B and back on our last day because our luggage. The area where this B&B is located is mostly residential and so quiet throughout the night, so we had a good night sleep (and with the help of a very comfortable bed). We also really loved having the beautiful St. Anne's church right next to the B&B and seeing its mosaic windows and brick walls from bed. And to make all this better, the host is very helpful and kind and was readily available whenever we needed to contact him. The only minus detail in our experience is that we stayed during what it probably was an Arctic cold front passing through the country because the temperature dropped to -9 Celsius during the night, and it was freezing both in the bathroom and bedroom throughout the night hours. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily book in here again. Thanks Francis, and we hope to see you again!
Perhaps a larger duvet? This would be helpful if you're travelling with your partner so both can make sure that are being well covered (particularly if it's cold during the night) and won't be squabbling over who has a larger part of the duvet :-)

Verified reviewThe room was lovely, and the host had kindly left some shower gifts when we arrived. We were also able to set our room temperature to our liking and there were two huge windows looking out to the church. The host was also super friendly and even sent some recommendations on what to do in Bruges. I would highly recommend staying at this property.
Nothing - we were very satisfied.

Verified reviewThe entire room is amazing, spacious and clean as described. The heating system runs automatically so you don't have to worry about, and there is also aircon so you can adjust by yourself. The building is old but the renovation is actually quite new, let alone you have multiple streaming options and the host even gave me some Wondr bath and shampoo bars for my use. After all the entire experience was really good and highly recommend people who want to stay somewhere near the vibrant old city centre but not entirely within the very centrum which pick up a lot of noise.
Like many other hotels resided in old building, you will need to carry your luggage go up for maybe 2 levels depends on which room you booked. If you have a big luggage then probably you need to be prepared for some climbing
