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.).

The property is lovely. Nothing to dislike. The small village of Bottelare is somewhat limited in dining however. Le Linde café-restaurant is acceptable with spaghetti, meatballs, aubergine parmesan, croque monsieur (that’s nearly the entire menu mind you) and warm staff. The other option (not tried) is a friterie. If you are with a motor vehicle (not my case) then you can easily drive to other venues.
Very warm and considerate host. Reception was punctual and personal. Interesting room decor as host is an Australia fan. Breakfast is generous, varied, although no fried dishes. I particularly liked the fresh fruit and berries (from the properties lovely gardens which are gorgeous to gaze upon and walk through). The host made every effort to accomodate my EBike — safe, secure, indoor locked storage overnight with charging outlet.

It would have been nice to have feather pillows on the bed as I find large, synthetically-stuffed pillows uncomfortable to sleep on. The breakfast was on the whole good, but there were limited sugar free options - I did not eat the granolas as they contained sugar and the plain yogurt, although labelled "natural", contained sugar. As a friendly suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to offer some plain, natural, unsweetened yoghurt as well as some grains for cereal that did not contain sugar, eg, porridge oats and seeds.
Very pleasant hosts. The property was very pleasant indeed in a quiet, edge of village location, with good proximity to main routes and the city of Ghent. The garden room which I stayed in was very pleasant and quiet, located towards the back of a very pretty garden. The breakfast room in the main house was in a spacious and very pleasant conservatory. Overall I felt very welcome and relaxed here.

There was a mild pipe smell in the bathroom which was not a blocker for our stay but sensed in the room.
A wonderful cozy close to nature B&B with lovely hosts. The breakfast was superb and the vibe of the togetherness was such a delight. The hosts were responsive and supportive. They offered a welcome drink from a wide range of beverages.

There is nothing which we did not like about this place and would choose it again over any fancy hotels in Ghent.
Set in a friendly neighborhood, Thomas greeted us at his very charming house with welcoming smile. The room and the views, everything was just perfect. Breakfast options were all delicious, even better than many hotels I have been to in Europe. Thomas has take so much care and time in curating this BnB. And to our surprise he is a Chocalatier amd Jewelry maker, making some impressive creations. All this made our stay even more unique and worthy of remembering. Thank you for this beautiful experience.

Nothing really but for the sake of constructive criticism maybe adding some toiletries (body wash etc) would be beneficial
It was a perfect stay, rooms were exceptionally clean and the breakfast was a great spread! Not forgetting to mention the host Thomas, he was such a welcoming sweet person and ensured to greet and treat us with utmost sincerity. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay!

My only problem was getting the shower adjusted to the right temperature. I couldn't ever seem to get it just right, but at least it was too hot and not too cold.
Breakfast was very good. Liked the local honey especially

We have no complaints and love La Cl du Sud as it is. Just a word of warning since we last visited the access by car is only available from one direction and our Sat-Nav had not picked this up.
This was a repeat visit for us and we were as delighted as the first time. Not only is the welcome and the service of the highest order, it is great fun to stay in a real community out of town and see something of the countryside. Our hosts' English is excellent and he will provide information on what the village and the area has to offer.
