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 KingdomVery light with a high ceiling and large windows. Very large bed, but still had room for a table and 2 comfy chairs. Compact storage but more than enough for a short stay. Includes a small fridge with chilled water on arrival. Good bathroom - well maintained and cleaned. No bath (that's our preference) but an excellent shower. The staff downstairs in the patisserie were very friendly and helpful.

United StatesNothing. Happy about the room and the size of the bathroom is great!
Rooms is above a patisserie/ bakery and one checks in through the shop. So always have easy access to baked goodies they make. Location is near to wak anywhere central to tourist like St Bavos and St Michael’s bridge. No elevators so had requested first floor room. I liked that they were proactive as they contacted me even before i knew my door key was deactivated somehow and they had issued me a new one. Also one staff actually slept in the propwrtty so there is soneone u can call if needing help. Special mention to Pino and Xavier for their kindness and attention during our stay.

The location in central Gent is perfect. The rooms are large and spacious with high ceilings and have the option of fresh air through open windows or AC. The shower is luxurious with towels and washcloths provided. The fact that the rooms are directly above an amazing bakery that offers breakfast is incroyable. Highly recommend staying here

United StatesEverything was amazing; nothing to complain about at all. Advisory though, there are a chunk of stairs.
Everything. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was excellent. Shower was instantly hot, fluffy pillows, and large windows for natural light. The host worked in the downstairs bakery and was very, very nice. The whole bakery staff was great. We initially did not get the breakfast plan but opted for it the first day and it was overwhelming with a little of everything included - get the full breakfast at least 1 day and revel in it. The meringues were the best we ever had; neither of us liked them going in and we tried what was included with breakfast and it blew our minds that they could taste so good. Two of the best chocolate places (after trying 7) are located within 100 steps of the place. Ghent was lovely as well and one of our new favorite cities in Europe.
