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.).

Location is ideal, right in front of the station. Downstairs is the bar, we enjoyed the vibe with great Belgium beer. The staffs are nice and breakfast is good.

ItalyI missed some air conditioning on the hottest day of the year in Belgium, which made the room very hot. Luckily a fan was provided. I suppose airco is not necessary during most of the year though.
After 80 years, this hotel is still running strong. The age makes some corners look a bit run-down, but the friendly staff, great location and good restaurant make up for it. The breakfast was fantastic. A large buffet with fresh fruit, bread, cereal - great variety. Comfortable setting in a large dining room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. While gluten-free bread should be ordered the day ahead, the staff managed to produce two buns within 20 minutes. The location is literally 1 minute from the train station, making it an excellent option to work in Brussels and enjoy the city of Leuven at night.

United KingdomNo air conditioning, room was roasting hot but they did provide an air fan. They never reply to messages, I asked about breakfast times almost two weeks before I arrived, no reply. As it was the breakfast was from 8, no good as I had a train at 8:10 but the lady on duty let me in early.

United KingdomCannot fault the hotel in any way. The weather was lousy, but that's not the hotel's fault.
Excellent location, and the breakfast a real plus especially considering the cost of food locally. The staff were so friendly it added a lot to the enjoyment of my stay. I don't speak or understand Dutch but the staff could not have treated me any better.

AustraliaThe water takes a long time to heat up, but patience is rewarded if you just keep waiting - a lovely hot shower will happen!
Staff at Hotel Industrie were so helpful. Taking care of my luggage when I arrived prior to check-in time, and providing breakfast before the buffet officially opened so I could make my early train. I also liked the quirky fit-out of the Hotel - it feels like you are really staying somewhere special even though it is not an expensive hotel.

NetherlandsThe hotel is located just opposite the main train station and within the walking distance from the city center. The room was very clean and warm, the shower worked well (sadly, there was no hairdryer). Buffet breakfast was very good, and in the evening we enjoyed the dinner and drinks in the restaurant which is part of the hotel. The staff members were friendly and helpful. The curtains were really good and provided complete darkness in the room. The bed was a bit too soft, but for a couple of nights it is suitable. We had a nice stay for 2 nights.

United KingdomThe hotel location is perfect for a trip to Leuven. Right next to the station and just a short walk into the centre of the city. The rooms are basic and slightly dated but still offer a comfortable base and excellent value for money. Breakfast was included. It was OK, but would have been disappointed with it if we'd paid extra for it.
