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):
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.
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.).

PolandOverall, I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was lovely, and the location is perfect—it's situated conveniently between the city center and the train station, making it super easy to get around. The breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only minor issue I had was with the shower. It was difficult to regulate the temperature, so the water was either just warm or very hot. Despite this small problem, my experience was overwhelmingly positive. I would definitely stay here again!

JapanThe door / wall to the bathroom area is just thick glass so you can see & hear through it from the bedroom - it wasn't an issue for us, but it's just something to be aware of if you're wanting that kind of privacy from whoever you're sharing the room with.
The woman working there who we saw at breakfast was excellent, really friendly and wanted to ensure we had everything we needed. Also an excellent location - in walking distance from the train station and city centre where the main tourist attractions are. Comfy bed, nice quiet room with flowers and a little balcony. Highly recommend this to anyone choosing to stay in this area.

CanadaI was very lucky to have Joanne and Remy help me with my very heavy suitcases up the stairs. It was a long climb up to my room and down when I had to leave. If I had to say thing I didn't like it was that, but not because I don't like stairs, it is more because I had extra heavy baggage for a solo traveller.
First and foremost, I was received by the most welcoming and accomodating staff, Joanna and Remy (not sure if I spelled those correctly). I found them very helpful and so willing to make sure any requests or inquiries were take care of. I absolutely loved the space, the ambience, the comfort, the cleanliness, the calm and peace, the ease of access to and from property. The breakfast was stellar, everything was fresh and the variety and selection superb. I loved the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, so much so I went on a hunt through Ghent to find a retail store which sold the brand and scent.

United KingdomWe were concerned about the name Achilles B&B, we should not have been. We arrived after the reception had closed but clear and precise instructions had been left for us. We were also concerned about parking as they did not have private parking, we should not have been, there was a large underground car park in the square that was less that 100 yards from the property (park there and do not use the on street meters!). It was clean, modern, well located for the city, a good size bedroom, comfy bed and a great shower! Break fast was also very good.

CroatiaThe location is some 15- 20 min walk to Ghent old city, we didn't mind it, but just to note that it is not in the most touristy area. Some good bars right close to it catering mainly to the student crowd.
Very nice b&b with comfy room and a tastefully decorated interior. Has all you need. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

United KingdomWe would have preferred coffee and tea in our room as we like to have drinks early and late when we are in our nightclothes. There was poor replacement of toilet paper and toiletries. For us the stairs up to our room were rather difficult as they were so narrow and steep.
Superb breakfast, great staff especially when I had a mishap and tipped orange juice over myself, the floor and broke some glasses. My clothes were washed and ironed and payment was refused. Location was excellent once we discovered the buses 5a and 5b straight to the centre. Excellent room with good bathroom.
