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 atmosphere, the friendly staff members, it really was a wonderful place to stay on the way back to our country of residence. The layout of the room, the trust based system used for self serving drinks is a great thing just like the garden. Everything I encountered at this hotel told me "they cared, about the customers or just doing their job well and in a professional manner."
The beds were good, but a bit tough for me. It was not bad at all but neither great.
Dear Guest, Thank you for providing us with your feedback, it is always gratefully received. We're delighted to hear you found our atmosphere welcoming and appreciated our team's warm service during your stay. Our garden space and honesty bar system aim to create a relaxed environment where guests can unwind naturally. While we recently renewed all mattresses to ensure optimal comfort, we understand firmness preferences can vary between guests. Finally, we're glad our room design provided both functionality and character during your visit. The open-concept layout remains popular with travelers seeking contemporary comforts within our historic setting. We would be pleased to welcome you back again.

Having paid a lot of money to stay during Werchter festival, breakfast was excluded and offered as an extra at €25 per person which seemed an awful lot for a small edge of town hotel
Dear Gareth, Thank you for sharing your feedback following your recent stay. We are delighted that you experienced the friendliness of our team during your stay. Providing warm and attentive service is at the heart of our hospitality philosophy, and we are thrilled this resonated with you. However, we regret your disappointment regarding the breakfast pricing. Our breakfast buffet is carefully priced to reflect the premium quality and variety of offerings, including freshly prepared hot items, artisan breads, and specialty coffees. We strive to provide competitive rates, though special events occupancy and even the time of the year may cause them to fluctuate. Nonetheless, we are pleased you appreciated the unique concept of our honesty bar. This self-service approach allows guests to enjoy our selection of Belgian beers and snacks at their leisure, maintaining the relaxed atmosphere we strive to cultivate. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Gunther Vogels, Adjunct-Directeur
