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 hotel is in a fabulous village near Chimay. Beautiful scenery, lots of walks nearby etc.
Nothing, all good.

Verified reviewThe natural surroundings and the village were truly beautiful. Also, the warm welcome, kindness, and helpfulness of the lady at check-in. She spoke a bit of English, which made communication easier, and she helped us access a garage where we could park our bikes.
The cleanliness. The room was really dirty, with various types of insects. We understand we’re in nature, and that’s fine, but this was about dirt. The room was infested with small beetles resembling ticks — there were several of them in the bathroom, on the floor, and even on the bed. We asked to change rooms, but the new one was even dirtier and even more infested. The guy didn’t speak any English and didn’t take us seriously, with an attitude somewhere between skeptical and mocking. The bill included several unexpected extra charges, including a very modest breakfast at an unreasonably high price, which we were not informed about.

Verified reviewLovely location in the woods outside Chimay. Good size room.
A kettle and tea/coffee in the room would have been nice. There was no black tea at breakfast, only jasmine or mint.

Verified reviewJulien could not have been more accommodating to our group of 6 cyclists. With the local restaurant closed on our day of arrival, he arranged a wonderful barbeque with lots of local craft beers and super food, and a good breakfast the following morning. We would definitely stay there again.

Verified reviewNicely updated and overall quite pleasant. Near L'eau Blanche.
A little difficulty on arrival ie: we were not aware of need to call a number to gain access code. Stairs are certainly understandable, but a little bothersome. Beds are a little low and soft for me.

Unfortunately we didn’t stay due to a cock up by Booking.com who had only advised the hotel that 1 room was required despite booking 2 rooms.

Verified reviewA beautiful, traditional Hotel in an idyllic setting by a pretty stream. The host was brilliant and accommodated every request. There is a fantastic local, traditional restaurant just a 2 minute walk away. If you want to experience proper, rural Belgium at its best - this is the place. This is also a motorbike-friendly establishment, ideal for those touring - we kept our bikes in their locked garage, overnight, fully loaded with all our gear. Just perfect
Nothing
