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 room was big (family room).
Housekeeping was not good. On the first day the room was not cleaned properly, they didn’t take the trash and they didn’t take the dirty towels. The bed was not queen bed, two separate twin beds which were put together, it was uncomfortable.

Verified reviewGood breakfast, broad offer. ( but no olive oil for the mediterraneans!- and no bread toaster - for the British). Waiting personnel efficient and good tempered. Reception personnel also helpful, well trained, and sufficient. Good pleasant well cooked menu at the restaurant-albeit a trifle limited. Good sound insulation.
Tea and coffee facilities were not replenished after the first day. Tissues neither. Bar closed too early. View of the motorway on one side of the building not very inspiring. Balcony too small, just there to be mentioned in the propaganda, without any privacy. Lack of bathrobes for the swimming pool visit.

Verified reviewVery good breakfasts. Excellent pool.
Location is out of town, the room guide suggests a weekdays only bus (without telling you that). There is really no weekend transport. Unsupervised children in the pool a nuisance, although I accept that's down to parents, but staff could have done more. While some pool rules are in English, the locker guides are in Dutch only.

Verified reviewThe breakfast
Staff argued that our room was not cleaned and bed not made when we returned from a day with family and friends. We had to sort this out with a manager,. This is a situation not worthy of Van der Valk reputation.

Verified reviewThe pool
*The rattling noise of the loose wooden panels from the bathroom when the airconditioning was on. *Dirty spots on the bedding *Matrasses were sliding away very easy. This would be a very cheap fix with some felcron tape on the bottom. Little strange this is not fixed for such a big nice hotel Also room was on the front side of the building, but across the street big construction works were going on, which got us awake quite early. Its not really caused by the hotel, but they could've put us on the other side of the building.
