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 reviewLocation was perfect. Great view of Bell Tower from Belfort Room. Room was immaculate. Stijn & Gucci were great hosts.
It was fine for us but some people may not appreciate the steep steps.
Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for your review. The B&B is located in an old listed mansion. We always mention on every website that there is no lift. It is also not permitted and visually it would not be attractive to install a lift in Amato. We love the charm of the stairs leading to the rooms. Kind regards, Stijn and Kristof

Verified reviewThe hotel is newly renovated and beautifully done. Modern and clean with an artistic feel, it made for a great stay. The room was comfortable, and nicely air conditioned during a hot spell. The bathroom was modern and beautifully appointed and included a spa! The hotel is only a 1 block walk to the Markt square with lots of food and drink options. Its a quiet location on a side street, with a beautiful interior design and wonderful hosts Kristof and Stijn. As mentioned by other reviews, there is no elevator and the steps are narrow (as is the case in all the older places) but the hosts are more than happy to assist with luggage. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place wholeheartedly.
Nothing!
Thank you for the wonderful review. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything about the stairs, as the building is of historical value. We are always happy to help you with your luggage. Best regards and see you soon, Stijn and Kristof

Verified reviewThis place is like staying in a luxury boutique hotel except better. The host are absolutely lovely and super helpful. They haven’t missed any details. The towels smelled wonderfully, breakfast is a must (and so much better than what you can get on your own), and super clean. The host are available if you need anything. They have drinks for purchase that are so convenient and well-priced. There is an awesome coffee machine that makes fancy coffee that is available all day. There were candies and chocolates in the room as a welcome gift. Absolutely wonderful experience!
Everything was amazing!
Thank you for the wonderful review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Best regards, Stijn and Kristof

Verified reviewOne block walk to the market … quiet location, great AC, great mattress, incredible shower and sauna, beautiful interior design in an older three-level home. Exemplary hosts! The breakfast was a wonderful European breakfast and the host explained each cheese, meat, and seafood. Fresh fruit, musli, breads, and local jams made it superior.
Nothing …. It was amazing!!! But anyone with any mobility issues should know the stairs are steep.
Thanks for the revieuw, a lot of greetings. Stijn and Kristof

Verified reviewAmato-Bruge is situated within a minutes walk of the main square. Its location is in a small no through road, so there is no passing traffic. Our room number 1 was on the first floor, it was spacious, clean and tidy and open plan with plenty of places for clothes and a comfortable bed. The hosts were very helpful and informative but not intrusive. There is a small area on the first floor for use by guests with seats and tables, a coffee machine, fridge, and information. Each day during our stay, the hosts left pastries or chocolates. There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance, and the hosts can give recommendations if required. There is a small fridge in the room, and toiletries are provided. We eat out for breakfast and can recommend Sweet L'Oueff a 2 minute walk. This is almost opposite a restaurant we used in the evening and can also recommend called Brassierie Surplace. They are both popular, and booking is recommended (even for breakfast).
As the room is open, plan there is no screening or door for the toilet, so you are on view to the rest of the room, which some people may find disconcerting.
Thanks for the revieuw. Stijn and Kristof

Verified reviewCurrently no breakfast being served. There is a dining area with sodas and water in a small refrigerator and hot espressos, lates, and coffees from a machine. Small chocolates were offered in the afternoon. The property is located in a quiet area just a short walk from the market square which is a landmark in central Bruges. Our 2-floor room was clean and excellently decorated and featured a sauna in the bathroom. From the third floor sleeping area was a beautiful view of a tower at the edge of the market square. Our hosts were helpful and friendly and really saved our day when our confirmed taxi to the train did not show up. One of the owners drove us the short distance to the station. The only negative is that there are no elevators to help move luggage to upper floors. Again the hosts helped us move two larger suitcases upstairs. Also the stairs to the top unit sleeping area have narrow treads that make passage challenging. But such passages are common in the older parts of cities and anyone with mobility problems may want to find a hotel with an elevator or ground floor. Overall, this hotel was a wonderful experience.
No elevator.
Dear Thank you for the review. There is always the choice of booking the room with and without breakfast. We are a B&B in an old charming building where unfortunately no lift can be installed. Kind regards. Stijn and Kristof Amato-Bruges

Verified reviewThis property is in a perfect location 2 mins walk from the square, the hosts were so welcoming and friendly and made the stay perfect, it was my husbands birthday and they even left him a little present in the room when we were out. You can help yourself to the coffee machine next door and they left out a sweet treat in the afternoon.The decor and design of the room was 10/10 with a huge double shower and jacuzzi bath. I cannot recommend this place more to stay it’s perfect.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect for the places we had in mind to visit. But Kristof and Stijn were also helpful with recommendations. They really know the city. The property was very warm and comfortable. If we needed something, either owner was available to help.
There was work going on in the home but that really didn’t hinder our stay. The work will only make the B&B a more desirable property for future guests.

Verified reviewAmato is so central, we were right outside the Markt, so close to food, shops, sights, but also slightly off the main road so it was quiet and felt separate from the bustle. Its easy to find and short walk from the train station. The room was lovely! Beautifully decorated, everything was clean, warm, and comfortable. We had the double room with the armchairs so lots of space to relax and feel at home. There were even chocolates on arrival and treats left in the common/dining room in the afternoon. Good coffee and an honesty fridge with nice drinks although we didn’t use. Kristof was really friendly and accommodating, giving us good tips on where to go and eat. We loved meeting Gucci too!
Nothing!
