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 reviewSpacious rooms. Welcoming staff. Great continental breakfast. A well stocked honesty bar. We have stayed here on multiple occasions and this hotel in the centre of Bolsward never fails to impress.

Verified reviewBreakfast - The table was set up for us every morning with a variety of local bread, pastry, cheese/meat, yogurt/fruit/granola and juice. The staff was very attentive serving tea/coffee made to order. Room - spacious, airy with large windows, sitting area and the most comfortable bed I have ever enjoyed in a hotel. The common areas in the gardens are wonderful places to enjoy a glass of wine and relax.

Verified reviewBreakfast was excellent, thank you! But the main draw for me was the rich history of the property.
I had a little bit of trouble finding a comfortable place to work on my computer — the easy chairs slumped, but the table was too small and those seats were too hard. It’s a minor complaint, anyway.

Verified reviewThe property itself is beautiful + breakfast room was gorgeous. Staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The bath is spacious and a very luxurious addition to the room. A gluten-free breakfast was possible!
We stayed in the wing they were renovating. Our hotelroom felt as though it wasn’t finished yet (lacking final touches to enhance the atmosphere). Especially the bathroom felt empty. The floor in the bathroom was also very cold. Also, I found a bottle of vodka in my bedside table.

Verified reviewBeautiful setting, relaxed, nice to have the donkeys there, picnic outside in garden, nice breakfast, parking, comfortable bed. Although didn’t need it this time, the honesty bar was great to have.
Sink in living room rather than bathroom, could do with another towel for hair.

Verified reviewWe were quoted a total of £419 by Booking.com for 4 rooms for our stay on 19/20 June. Our party paid individually, three of us the same amount but the fourth member of the group significantly more(€50+ difference). In a subsequent telephone discussion with the owner on the morning we departed he agreed with me that a mistake had been made and that the fourth member should have been charged the same amount as the others. My understanding was that the difference would be repaid on to my card. As yet nothing has appeared on my card to this effect. I would be grateful for any intervention on my behalf that you are able to make. I also will be following this up with the hotel myself. Many thanks. Happily after contacting the manager, the overpayment was refunded. Excellent customer relations. 18/07/24

Verified reviewThe accommodation was spacious, warm and light. The separate lounge area was ideal and large. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. We really appreciate the stocked fridge and honesty bar. It is a lovely historic building in a really great town. We walked and enjoyed the town and restaurants.
Breakfast was a bit more expensive than we anticipated.
