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.).

GermanyDue to the age of the building it could get a little stuffy in the room, but that could be dealt with some airing out.
It is like a little Museum, very historical with a bit of modern art and design added.

AustraliaOur stay here was too short, just two nights. Be aware that it feels like a time capsule where the furnishings are absolutely beautiful. Due to the age of the original property there is no lift and the staff will take your baggage to and from your room. If you prefer minimal stairs, mention it when booking. We are in our 70’s and loved it!!
The property/home is exceptional. Straight out of the 1700’s and faithfully restored by the owners, two interior designers whose home you will be staying in. The breakfast was extremely good in the original dining room. The original paintings are just too beautiful!!

What an incredible place! Marc and Jan have lovingly restored this former home to a wealthy count and countess from the 1700s. It’s clear that these interior design have spent the past 20 years making their home perfect. It’s an unforgettable experience to stay here. The breakfast alone is an experience not to be missed.

United KingdomWhat a fantastic historic gem, but also in a really great location for exploring Ghent . A truly beautiful yet comfortable place to stay and relax with such welcoming and helpful hosts. The interior is a feast to the eyes and so stylishly curated with great attention to detail in all the rooms and spaces. A real pleasure to wonder round and explore, including the wonderful gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

United KingdomThe bathroom was a little cramped relative to the palatial bedroom and the shower a little weak. Breakfast is served with great care in a beautiful dining room, but it could, perhaps should, offer more choice and higher quality at the high price.
The decor is beyond compare and does proper justice to a stunning grand town house. The welcome was lovely and warm, not precious at all, but it’s all about the most beautifully decorated property we’ve ever stayed in.
