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 reviewLovely decor, staff were helpful, and great bar/lounge.
Only one of our rooms was ready at check in, despite us arriving after the stated check in time. Not a huge issue but it would have been nice to had some sort of compensation as it meant one half of our party wasn’t able to shower/change.
Dear Martin, We would like to thank you for your kind words. Thank you for your feedback in regards to the rooms, and we’re sorry one of the rooms wasn’t ready on time. We understand the inconvenience this caused your group and appreciate your patience. We’ll work to prevent this in the future and hope to welcome you back for a smoother stay. Kind regards, Team The Ostendian

The light system in the corridors were not clear nor usefull in my opinion, nice gadget, but do not see the reason doing this. In the bathroom no rain shower: strange these days. No USC C connections anywhere, strange too.

Verified reviewThe location next to the Oostende station is a good alternative to the seaside. Nice, clean and spacious hotel rooms with balcony. The staff was very accomodating.
Typical hotel noises - banging doors, cleaning service etc.

Our apologies our staf made to mutch noise. We will do everything possible to ensure that this does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. You are always welcome here at the seaside!

They should be clear about prices. On top of 143 Euro per night, they charged me 25 Euro extra for the breakfast.

Verified reviewVery kind. Came with my dog and they made sure she had everything she needed. Beautiful rooms. Everything you need and more.
At night it was a bit noisy, my room was next to the elevator and people would come in loudly after 2am.

Verified reviewThe bed was super comfortable and the building looks very modern and new. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful
The cleanning staff was doing a lot of noise early in the mornings. They open our door twice to try to clean but we were sleeping in the room. The hotel is a bit far from the beach, but close to the train station (we came by car so bad for us). The decoration is not good for my presonal taste, I think they tried to give a 60's look but just it doesn't work, it looks old.

Verified reviewExcellent rooms, very well designed and decorated (even the smoke detector had a special design) and all facilities were in place. It is a very new hotel but all was running smoothly. They put a lot of thought in the rooms and hotel and the staff carry the pleasant vibe as well. Warmly recommended.
