Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The apartment was fantastic. Very clean and super comfortable. It felt like home from home being here. Patrick was so accommodating and gave us lots of help during our stay as well as restaurant recommendations and advice for travel around the city. It was super close to both trams and metros as well as lovely shops and bakeries. Metro only a 5/10 minute walk and then only 10 mins into the main city. If you stay here, you have to try boulangerie gateau for amazing eclairs and baguettes. This place is amazing and we will be staying again next time we visit Brussels.

Challenging for guests with luggage (I had 2 suitcases) as the apartment is on the rooftop and the only way to get there is a (steep) stairway. 'Free' toiletries (soap, shower gel) were scarce and seemed like leftovers from previous guests.
Space, comfort, cleanness, sunlight, attentive host, equipped kitchen, nice bedroom on mezzanine, privacy, peace and quiet! I'll return with pleasure.

Well. The stairs are really long and nearly narrow. Greatful that the host helped me carrying my luggage at arrival.
Exceptionally neat and clean, all you need in the kitchen, great to have a portable bluetooth speaker at my disposal, incredibly charming to listen to the rain on the roof windows. Close to lots of EC related offices, not so far from restaurant areas. Nice host, clear explanations. Whats not to like? I will be back. One of my best stays in Bruxelles - flats are often worn out, but not this one, but the charm of an old building is nevertheless preserved.

The only thing I could think of is that the flat is poorly accessible if one has trouble moving around.
It is a beautiful top floor flat in a very good area of Brussels, just a walk away from the EU quarter. There is a lovely view over the roof tops to two directions. The flat has everything one needs for a short or even longer stay, and the host is a very nice person.

Patrick is an excellent host! He is always there to support you, answers questions within a few minutes, and we have even received a small surprise to make our stay really enjoyable:) The cozy nest is a wonderful place to stay for the weekend or - i can imagine- even longer. It has everything you need to relax and forget about work... however, if you have to work, there is a comfortable desk and also good wifi connection.
