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):
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.).

IrelandThe staff were very friendly especially Jenny who looked after us promptly when we arrived.The room was ready and to meet a friendly face after an early flight from Ireland was lovely.She showed us our location on a map and the sights of interest to visit. After a short rest we enjoyed the next three days visiting Gent and also Brugge by train from our hotel which was ideally located.

United KingdomNot the fault of the hotel - more advice for anyone intending to drive into the city- take care that you check route plans in case of road closures and unidentified road diversions. We had real trouble getting over to the hotel.
The hotel was a lovely overnight stay and would be great for a city break weekend in Gent. The property is ideally located for the city centre only a 15 minute walk. The room was clean and well appointed for our family stay. Communication with the hotel was great and they explained early in the booking process that parking could be reserved at the hotel but spaces are limited. I booked straight away and our space was ready for the time we were told. With the two children, this helped massively. Thank you for a lovely stay.

United StatesMosquitos. Lots of mosquitoes. Definitely use the plug-in fan they provide, and dress light, particularly in the summer. It gets HOT.
Insanely close to the Ghent Fest, and to all of the cathedrals of the city. Incredibly walkable to city center. The staff are more than understanding and beyond compassionate. Kind before anything. Lovely team.

United KingdomTwo small issues which would not stop me from staying but should be mentioned. The mattress was very soft and slopped, quite a common feature in hotels (frustrating) that don’t consider people sit up in beds at the pillow end and thus squash the mattress…..means your head is lower than your feet. Also, the extraction fan in the bathroom ran constantly all night, no way of turning it off.
Great location, beautiful building in excellent condition. The staff were really informative, and friendly. Parking on site was secure and really welcomed.
