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 reviewThe host, Brigitte, is a wonderful person, full of energy, positivity and kindness. She helped us with everything that we needed and more. The room was clean and had everything that we needed. The location was perfect for us, situated away from the crowded city center, yet with two buses that can take you there in 30-40 minutes. It was very close to the Forest National arena, where we viewed a show. We didn't try the breakfast, as we had an unpredictable schedule for the morning.
I don't have much to say here. The room was a little small for my taste, but I can't say it was a big problem. We'll be back for sure if we return to Brussels.

Verified reviewBrigitte, the owner, was very helpful during our stay giving us good information about the area and was very friendly. The bus stop (No48 bus) was just outside the property with an easy 20/25 minute ride into the city. The room was clean and was cleaned daily to a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend this property and would definitely use it again.
Nothing.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed the stay. Brigitte and Alain are great, their B&B is very comfortable and suitable for anyone who wants to visit a concert in Vorst Nationaal and at the same time wants to have a good access to city centre. Bus 48 goes frequently and directly to the centre.

Verified reviewThe location is in a quiet area of the city, approximately 30 minutes from the center. There is a bus in front of the location that connects easily with the center or the train station. Near the location there is also a shop open until late (approx. 10 meters away) and a Carrefour about 5 minutes' walk away. The room I rented is in the house of the Brigitte and Alain family. They also live in the same house, but they have 2 rooms for rent. The room was clean, well maintained. I don't know if it was cleaned during the 5 days I stayed because I also left the room in order every day. Brigitte was very nice, she helped me with recommendations, she is very smiling and a pleasant presence. During the stay it was my birthday and she gave me a box of chocolates and wished me happy birthday including in my native language. I didn't have breakfast, so I don't know if it was good or not. It is an area where I think it is easy to find a parking space for those who come by car or rent a car. Brigitte was kind and allowed me to check in earlier than the time indicated on Booking. So, everything was very good!
does not exist. Everything was OK! but I will make a mention that has nothing to do with the services offered by this location, but is more of a recommendation for those who have the same type of tourist as me: I travel a lot and often and, as a rule, I take accommodation in one place from where I go by train or bus to other cities every day. This location was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Uccle (the area where the location is). As I said, the area is very beautiful, quiet and safe. But it is far from the Central Station. Maybe it would have been more appropriate for me to stay in the station area because every day I traveled by train to other cities and wasted a lot of time on the bus to and from the station. But, I admit that I also saw that the station area is full of dubious people and it didn't seem like a safe place at all.

Verified reviewThis BB experience was like staying with friends. Brigitte and Alain are extremely welcoming and always happy to help. The BB is small - just two rooms and we all had breakfast together. If you look for a family like stay go for it. The BB is situated approx 30 mins by bus (no need to change lines) from the city center and the bus stop is virtually in front of it.

Verified reviewThe warm welcome we received from Brigitte. Our room was clean & comfortable. The beds were very good. The ensuite shower room was well planned with plenty of hot water. It was good to be able to open the window & we had a fan as when we arrived ,it was hot & muggy.Brigitte supplied us with a local map & gave a couple of recommendations for an evening meal.The place we went to was the Spuitened Duvel, an old established auberge a street away. A friendly, traditional lively, popular establishment. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast & conversation with Brigitte who enlightened us about Flemish / Walloon culture & history.She treated us to a tour of her lovely, tranquil & enchanting garden.
A non slip shower tray mat would be a useful safety edition.
