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.).

NetherlandsThe location of the hotel is great, it's very close to the beautiful church, and around the corner the main square with the beautiful architecture. From our room we had a great view at the church. The staff is very friendly and willing to help to make out stay a great experience.

The location was perfect. Despite being near the Cathedral and old town facilities, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The shower itself and products could not have been better.

United KingdomQuite loud early morning hoovering (?) or noise from outside but we fell back asleep - for too long actually (see above)!
Staff was incredibly accommodating given our very late check in and made everything so easy. We also overslept and they let us check out an hour late. Food and wonderful, and ws, gracious wonderful people in the cafe/bar adjacent, especially the Venezuelan server who’s a musician whose name escapes me! We met a couple who were having coffee and were looking for a hotel and we highly recommended you!!

NetherlandsIt can be a bit noise due to the very central location, which they acknowledge, as there were disposable ear plugs available. Anyhow, it didn't really disturb my stay.
Very nice room, comfortable bed and nice bathroom facilities. The toiletries from Nuxe were so nice. Had a very relaxed stay. And the location is simple the best.

United KingdomDespite the quirky / luxury decor and billing, the hotel (November 2024) was shabby. Some reception staff and those in the downstairs cafe were gloomy / surly. We didn't book breakfast but asked if we could take breakfast in the cafe on our first morning and pay for it on our bill - no problem we were told at reception; as there were no staff in the cafe we helped ourselves to coffee from the pots on the side, only to be chastised when a cafe staff member did appear as that coffee was for booked breakfasts. Our mistake, but with no signs or staff we hadn't realised and didn't really expect or appreciate the severity of chastisement we received. Others have commented on the noise and it is loud through the night and early hours as street cleaning and delivery lorries trundle across the cobbles outside, but that is normal life there and to be expected in the centre of the historic city. What is less acceptable is the level of noise that permeates between rooms - I could hear the person next door snoring and those in the room above could be heard talking and walking around. We travelled to the hotel from the train station and the taxi had to drop us at an adjacent square as only certain licenced taxis are permitted into the historic area. When we left, the hotel booked a taxi that picked us up from a few doors away, so that was fine. Despite this rather long negative comment, this hotel is well worth considering if you want to stay in the historic centre and can tolerate the noise and surly staff (fortunately, some of the staff were lovely so not all bad at all).
This hotel is in a stunning location for central, 'old town', Antwerp being directly across the square from the Cathedral. We had a room on the 2nd floor with a view to the Cathedral which, for us, was worth the extra cost. Our particular room had a lovely bench seat running the length of the window. There is a (small) lift up to all floors from behind reception. The decor and 'bathroom' are as quirky as they looked in the photos; there is a curtain that can be drawn around the glass walls of the bath / shower if wanted. Some reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel has plenty of cafes and restaurants, so eating out in the evening was never a problem and we ate very well at the places around the cathedral only a minute from the hotel (Xaverius was superb, we ate there twice; Elfde Gebod was ok (not what it was hyped up to be and very noisy); 't Putke was very good and the waffles at House of Waffles made for a great lunch).
