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 reviewThis apartment is spacious, well equipped, clean and has a great outside patio. It's in a good location with free parking very close by. The owner is friendly, helpful and attentive. We've stayed in many properties in Ypres and all have been good, (bar one which is no longer available). This apartment probably represents the best overall of our stays when taking everything into consideration.
Nothing really.
Dear Jason, Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review. Nice to hear our house is the best location you’ve ever stayed in our city. Looking forward to welcome you again next year. Warm regards Sven & Katleen

Verified reviewThe accommodation was one of the best we have stayed in- very clean and comfortable and decorated to a high standard. Everything we needed had been thought of, and the beer in the fridge on arrival was very much appreciated! The location was perfect- just a short stroll to the main square. The bikes were an added bonus!
We can’t fault it in any way

Verified reviewWonderful friendly hosts, awesome apartment. Use of bikes a bonus, as this is a walled town, it is nice to be able to use these to get around. Great neighbourhood. Love the cobbled streets. The apartment is very stylishly appointed.
Just need to plan ahead as can't park directly outside. Smaller bags are better as need to be able to lift them up the narrow stairs.
Dear Rochelle, It was pleasure to host you and your family. Nice to hear you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. About the parking, you can park in front of the house with the blue parking disc you’ve received from us at your arrival. This is the regulation in the entire city. The good thing is that there’s a free parking at 50m from the house where you can park without this disc or without payment. Hope to welcome you again some day. Best regards Sven & Katleen

Verified reviewApartment had everything you could possibly need. Felt like a home from home. So clean and welcoming. Great location, less than 10 minute walk to centre of Ypres. Very quiet neighbourhood.
There wasn’t any negatives about the property really. If I was being really picky then the staircases after long days of sightseeing did take a toll on the legs, but the style of house means steep staircases and we knew this from the pictures. There literally wasn’t any negatives.
Dear Nicola, Thank you for your great review and wonderful score. It was a pleasure hosting you. Great to hear you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. Hope to welcome you again some day. Best regards Sven & Katleen

Verified reviewThe apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. It felt really really homely and we enjoyed sitting out on the roof terrace making the most of the warm weather. The location is great being a short walk to the centre and the Menin Gate, there is parking on the road outside or in a car park a short distance away. Sven the host met us on arrival and was really friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if we go back to Ypres.
Nothing, all was good.

Verified reviewSven provided his mobile number and we agreed a set time to meet. He handed over the keys, took us upstairs and showed us around, answered our questions and gave us some local knowledge regarding car parking and restaurants.. He couldn't have been more helpful & friendly! 10/10
Nothing to complain about at all - from start to finish, everything we needed was catered for. From the smallest item in the kitchen to a car parking permit and umbrellas for when it rained - it was all covered and taken care of. One small piece of advice would be to get better pictures on the websites - the pictures on there do not do the place justice - it is nicer & comfier & larger & better equipped than the pictures convey.
