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.).

Netherlands1. Pillows are not very good. Many pillows but actually any good. 2. Bathroom is good. However, the shower is not very well design and the drainage is slow. Therefore, results in making the entire bathroom wet after a shower.
THe location is perfect. Just in the city center. As the room is facing an inner patio, any noise from the street is cancelled. Also the rooms is fully equiped and with a good temperature control. Check-in is very easy and flexibility on a sunday for check out is a plus. The backyard is very cute. In summer-spring has to be apleasure to enjoy it.

United StatesThe only thing I did not like was the spiral stairwell. I thought the room was on the first floor, but didn’t realize that this was the second floor by European standards. The light in the bathroom was not working—but no problem:)
The location was perfect—right in the heart of Old Ghent. The room was decorated tastefully and comfortably. The garden below with fountain and pond was relaxing. The staff helped me get oriented with a map and kindly carried my suitcase to my room. I felt very safe there traveling as a single person. It was very quiet and quaint.

United KingdomI completely understand why there isn't a lift in the building given its historic status, but some guests may struggle getting their luggage up to their room.
This is in an excellent location in Gent. A perfect base for me to attend a work event at the university while my guest used it as a base to explore some of the best tourist spots in the city. A well equipped, safe, and comfortable stay in the heart of Gent.

CanadaJust needed more coffee (smile). I wouldn't recommend this place to seniors due to the stairs.
The room was beautiful and spacious. The stairs up were a challenge at first but I got used to them. The building was very quiet. Only some street noise which is to be expected being in the city centre.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have a light to the deck when returning home after dark. Maybe we just didn't see it but use our phone flashlight. Both my husband and I on separate occasions smashed our finger in the front door.
Nice central location. Quiet during evening hours despite being close to many bars and restaurants. The outdoor space was lovely and I'm sure would be great to relax in during nice weather. Great whirlpool bath.

Netherlands- No key at checkin: we did a self check in and there was no key at the entrance that we could use to lock our room. - The room was not really clean (bedsheets looked used; they were stained and wrinkled; hair on the floor) - there was so much storage space, an iron and board would have been a great addition
the location was great so central the apartment was really cool, the setup really felt like a personal space cozy! great that it had a tv, coffee machine. the bath room and bedroom were really spacious!

Friendly staff who were very happy to help with questions and storing bags. We were able to check in very early on our arrival day. Stylish rooms which had everything that we needed. Great location within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to visit. Good public transport connections. Coffee in the rooms. Lovely garden. Gorgeous old building with original features.

NetherlandsThe only (little) thing was that there were some loose tiles in the bathroom and it wasn't fully clean (around the bed on both sides and underneath the bed). The jacuzzi was also a little bit dirty. But it wasn't a problem at all for us at all.
We LOVED it here. The jacuzzi was amazing, so was the bed! The staff showed us to our room, she was really lovely. It is within walking distance from everything and there are a lot of restaurants around.
