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 delightful B&B is so beautifully located. Right on the Herrengracht, not that far from the central station and because of its location, it is close to tourist landmarks as well. It's a gorgeous old and traditional Amsterdam house, sensitively renovated and cosily furnished. And Loes and her husband are delightful, helpful and kind. The truth is in the eating of the pudding and this one was particularly delicious.
Nothing not to like in this house!

Verified reviewLocation is just perfect, owners were both lovely, breakfast was great and it's really nice to stay in traditional old town canal house. Super authentic experiance.
It was really cold at in the room when I came back at nigh, perhaps 15 degrees, luckily the bed was verrry warm so was not a big deal as I did not stay in the apartment otherwise. Was not sure how to make it warmer, but in the mornign one of the heaters was fully on which made it better. Just something to look out for in the future!

Verified reviewWhat a beautiful place to stay at central Amsterdam. This B&B is well located by the canal and also close to the train station. It is spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated. The host is super nice and makes great commendations for sightseeing places. The breakfast is also wonderful. We wished we could stay more days but it is always fully booked since it only has two rooms. Next time we will book early.

Verified reviewReviewed: 17 August 2023 · Stayed in July 2023
Verified reviewThis room is in an excellent locality, right in the Amsterdam city centre. Amsterdam Central is just 7-8 mins by walk. The couple (owners) living here were very friendly and helpful. They even make breakfast of your choice! The room was a duplex where the living room is at the bottom floor and the toilets and bedroom at the top floor. The living room was quite spacious with sofa, TV, kitchen utensils, refrigerator and even coffee powder. Both the rooms were clean and tidy. Toiletries like towels and shower gel was also provided.
The bedroom, toilet and the bathroom was quite cramped as we could barely stand in the toilet! Shampoo was also not provided. The apartment is on the 2nd floor with no elevator/lift and a very narrow stair case. Carrying check-in bags was a difficult job. For around CHF 160 per night, it was quite expensive.
