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 breakfast was great, it was easy to get to, I also initially looked for a shower in the hallway, I didn't know what was in the room, but it's more convenient. The staff helped me. The price is budget.I am Ukrainian, and I liked your place.
it was cold, the blankets were thin, it was cold in the room, there was a little noise on the street. in the bathroom, if there was liquid gel or shampoo, in the shower, and if it's cool, at least a blanket

Verified reviewThis hostel perfectly suited my needs for a central place to crash for an affordable price. I'd absolutely tell other backpackers about it, and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in this incredible city.

Verified reviewPerfect for 1 or 2 nights. It was clean when I got there. Enough space in the bathroom. Not easy to find, but very close to Grand Place, restaurants and public transport.
The light at the entrance needs to be on so people can find it. The building next door is being renovated, so that can be misleading. City tax has to be paid by card.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent, close to everything I needed and very convenient for exploring the city. I also appreciated having a bathroom in the room — it made the stay much more comfortable. Overall, the hostel was cozy and comfortable.
I was quite disappointed with a few things during my stay. The curtain on the bed was too short, leaving gaps, and my bed was not completely against the wall, which created space for people to see me. Since my bed was right at the entrance and near the bathroom where everyone passed by, I didn’t feel comfortable at all. On top of that, there was a lot of noise during the night, with people talking loudly and not showing respect for those who were trying to sleep. Another big downside was the luggage policy — if you arrive earlier or want to check out before your bus/flight, you have to pay €3 per bag to store them. Honestly, I found that unreasonable.
Hello dear customer, Your opinion is very important to us. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you soon again. Best regards, Safestay brussels

Verified reviewClean, en-suite dom very manageable, matches and beyond the value you pay. It’s very much central close to everything. 24/7 reception. My room mates were very respectful. Lifts, free luggage storage. Friendly staff
No air freshener in the bathroom. No blankets but I guess that’s why it’s cheap.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to read that your stay was as expected. Please note that you can ask for blankets at the reception, we are just not putting them in the room because we are in summer and usually it is pretty hot, we are sorry that you were not aware of that. We consider your remarks. Hope you enjoyed Brussels and made some nice visits. Kind regards, Safestay Brussels Grand Place
