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.).

United KingdomWe booked Hotel Donny last minute after a couple of days in Lille and a trip further up the Belgian coast. We were looking for some rest and relaxation after a busy few days and Hotel Donny gave us exactly that! The room was comfortable and enormous, a welcome surprise after budget hotel stays! We ventured down to the beach and woke up to the sounds of the trams with the sea rolling as we enjoyed a coffee on our balcony looking out to the beach. The Sanocentre was a perfect afternoon to enjoy each other’s company and look after ourselves. Breakfast was fabulous with so much choice! The manager was incredibly approachable and we enjoyed our conversation with him, the atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for and we enjoyed every minute at the property! We can’t wait to return!

NetherlandsThe parking area was limited, so once you left, your previous spot might not be available. The beds were not very comfortable and moved easily, which made sleeping difficult.
The breakfast was generous with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The pool and both steam and dry saunas were excellent and not crowded. The room was larger than expected, the hotel had parking, and the location was calm and close to the beach.

BelgiumAfter our second stay, the Donny has already turned into our come-back-to hotel. Its location is perfect, the private parking makes all the difference when you travel with the family, four-legged included. Pet friendliness is exceptional, which we find a critical point in making decisions about our next stay. (Pets are not allowed into the restaurant and wellness area though) Family rooms are light and spacious, ours equipped with two balconies, and with enough closets to avoid messiness during the stay. Facilities, including the pool, gym, spa, are ample, catering to different tastes and needs, and all clean and well-maintained. We have not had our dinners at the hotel (we prefer buzzing around), but the great breakfast hints at some good eating in the evenings as well. The bar and lounge/lobby area is spacious and cosy and we have enjoyed spending time there (you may want to check their raspberry mojito), both in the evenings and for our morning reading over a cup of tea.

United KingdomThe menu, for us, was rather limited but, I imagine, suited the local tastes.
The star of our stay was Maelle. She checked us in, ran to help when we tripped and took our orders for dinner. Throughout she was friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you. We thought the hotel to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. We were a little concerned that breakfast did not start until 0800hrs as we had to drive to Dunquirke for our ferry, but service started before 0800hrs so we’re able to enjoy breakfast before we left. Our salad chèvre chaud at dinner was very good but our burgers were over cooked. Our bed was very comfortable. Parking was very convenient.
