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 reviewBeautiful suit with antique decor , with modern bath, including tub. The staff was second to none! Michael, the manager was extremely gracious and helpful, including with our heavy luggage. He went above and beyond in his assistance in all our needs. Location was ideal, but easy access to city center.
No elevator
Thank you for your time. Yes indeed we have no elevator. Unfortunately it is very difficult for people, who can not do stairs very well. We can also not change this, since the building is a grade1 listed building. So sorry about that! It was nice to be your host. Hope to meet again in Beatifull Bruges.

Verified reviewJohn and his brother are hoteliers of the highest caliber. You can tell how much attention to detail went into the space, with period-appropriate pieces throughout the property. We had a truly lovely stay and experience here. Their recommendations were invaluable, and when we continued on to Amsterdam, John provided some wonderfully unique suggestions. Breakfast was a real treat — the pastries were excellent, and the dishes were both delicious and satisfying. A charming stay overall; we would return in a heartbeat and hope they open more properties with the same warmth and character.
Thank you for your time. It was so nice to be your host. Hope to meet again in Beatifull Bruges.

Verified reviewThe owners and family were exceptionally friendly and helpful and tried to do everything they could to make my stay perfect. From the checking-in process, when they shared their recommendations and went through the city map with me until I was checking out when I was also able to leave my luggage there while I went to explore some more. The breakfast was outstanding, and I was so sad that I was always too full to be able to try everything offered. Also loved the location. It was about 10 minutes walk (with short legs) to the main square and most of the other main sights, and 3 minutes to a main shopping area. I only had time to try 2 of the bars that were within 5 minutes walk from the B&B that were also amazing - one with an amazing atmosphere and the other a beautiful cocktail bar. I felt safe walking around that area relatively late by myself (whilst avoiding tiny, quiet side streets). The history of the house, with its antiques and gorgeous breakfast room, made it a privilege to stay there while being comfortable with the modern bathrooms and AC.
The bed was a little hard, and the pillows were a little flat. However, I didn't mention that to the owner/family, so they didn't have the opportunity to correct that. There were enough pillows so that I could double/triple up, so that wasn't a huge problem. It was a shame that there is no elevator as I would have loved to stay in the top bedroom suite (although my room was beautiful too) as the top set of stairs is a little tight. However, that is the trade off with an historic home.
Thank you for your time. I am afraid that there is no elevator and especially the second flight of stairs is narrow.Unfortunately we are not able to install an elevator. It was nice to be your host. Hope to meet again in Beatifull Bruges.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect, walkable to all main points and not far from train station. Michael greeted us early and even upgraded us to a room that was available earlier and took the time to go over some recommendations and things to see. Breakfast was incredible, such great service and we were so full each time. Also got breakfast a bit earlier on the day we had to leave no problem. The building is also beautiful. Would recommend for anyone coming to Bruges!
Nothing bad to note!

Verified reviewExtremely clean and well looked after. John and his brother Micheal were very knowledgeable about the local area and gave us some great places to go which we had never been to before, and this was our 4th visit. We would definitely always stay here when we come to Bruge as we love it, and this B&B was the best place we have stayed in. The breakfast was exceptional, all fresh and cooked when ordered, and there was so much offered. The B&B was immaculate.

Verified reviewThe owner sets a platinum standard right from the beginning, showing us the facilities and giving us tips on dinners and sights. Our room was spectacular, a super comfy bed, amazing furnishings and lots of light. The bathroom has double sinks, a standalone deep soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Breakfast was gourmet and plentiful. The staff was so attentive, and even helped us with laundry (we'd been traveling for more than a week). This is the best place to stay in Bruges.
Nothing to report.
Thank you for your time. It was so nice to be your host. Also nice to learn so many facts from you, appreciated it. Hope to meet again, kind regards, John

Verified reviewI can't say enough good things about Huis 'T Schaep and about John, one of the owners and our host. John and Rob have restored the former home and studio of famous glass artist Samuel Coucke with such love and attention. It felt like we were staying in an exquisite home of friends who couldn't do enough for us. The art and stained glass were museum quality--I couldn't stop taking pictures of everything. The breakfast was outstanding, and I highly recommend people include it. The room where breakfast is served is enough to warrant a '10' rating for this property. The location was excellent, as well, minutes away from everything. Definitely ask John for his recommendations for dining and where to buy hand-made chocolates (rather than the more commercial places).
We loved everything about the property except getting there from the train station. We walked when we arrived, but we took a taxi when we left. While this property is within walking distance of the train station, the historic cobblestones are everywhere, and it really isn't pleasant to have to roll one's bag over them for long. We learned the hard way.
Thank you for your time. It was so nice to be your host. Also nice to meet such a gourmand! Hope to meet again, kind regards, John
