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 KingdomStraight forward accommodation for the night.
We arrived very late hence probably no smiles from the staff. We also booked very much late in the day. The sofa bed was not prepared. Perhaps it was missed. We then waited to someone to make it whilst I hit in the bathroom with the dog so he would not bark. Annoying when you are tired but it can happen. Slept well, clean room, comfy bedding. No coffee machine. WC separate to bathroom, strange. Check out was at 12 which was super convenient for us.

DenmarkNoisy - So much noise coming from the room above and the hall way, so if you are unlucky as we were, it can be rather annoying. However, I do think it was out of the ordinary as it sounded like a school class was checked in at the same floor as us and not taking much consideration for everybody else.
Room was clean, bright and spacious. Bed is comfortable and the extra bed/sofa could be moved around, so we had a better sleeping arrangement with the kids.

United StatesPathway to the train station was closed due to construction. Room service didn't answer the phone but going down to the restaurant could bring the tray of food to my room.
The A/C worked pretty well, weather was wonderful, many restaurant choices nearby. The restaurant on site had great food with vegetarian choices too.

United KingdomOnly slight negative was that the built in USB charger on wall in one of rooms not working, but that was minor.
The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked into the lobby. The rooms were lovely, clean, neat and a good size. They gave us two family rooms next to each other (as we requested) but with connecting doors allowing us all to move between the rooms as though in an apartment! Everything about our stay was great!!

FranceRooms are a bit dated, there's only a small bottle of water in the fridge, there are no lotions or so in the shower, no small toiletries etc But I totally fail to understand how they can justify 7,5 EUR for a small bottle of water and a 33 cl can of Coke ... 2nd I had to pay 22 EUR for underground parking, which is about the going rate in expensive Leuven ...
Room was clean, comfortable, enough space. There was a fridge, which is always comfortable, nice bathroom, and good brand of shower gel/shampoo. I was lucky on the 1st day to get free parking in front of the hotel.

BelgiumI did not really like the breakfast. There is not a lot if choice and the charcuterie seems to be a rather low cost selection. I would expect a bit of smoked salmon, or some eggs freshly made on request. My suggestion would be to improve the breakfast quality and then ask a few extra EUR for it. After all it is a 4 star hotel, which should come with a certain standard.
The room was ok, but I don't think that this cheap Nescafe coffee in the room is acceptable. Typically, comparable 4 star hotels have a Nespresso machine in the room.
