Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

We could not have been more pleased with this property. The house was tucked out of the way, private, and quiet but also just a minute from many of the most fabulous spots in Bruges. The property was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and every room was well equipped. Maryke, our host, was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was available when we needed her but we had total privacy at the same time. Our daily breakfast was a true highlight of the trip. Fresh juice, fresh, local pastries, yogurt, fruit - every morning was a delight. Would give this house 100 stars if I could! All of the people that we met were lovely. Highly recommend wandering the town and getting lost on some of the side streets. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best when the crowds have died down. (Although it wasn't as crowded as I had feared.) Also recommend a bike ride to Sluis. Eat the Kip (chicken) baguette at Le Jardin. OMG. So good. Climb the belfry first thing or at 6/6:20. - fewer people.

The cottage is so cozy and charming right in the middle of Bruges. Just steps away from everything. The breakfast in a basket every morning was like a fairy tale! Maryke is THE most gracious host ever. What a wonderful experience.

We really enjoyed privacy and coziness of the residence. The cottage is very clean and it includes all kitchen appliances and tableware. The design of the residence gives you a good sense of Bruges history and very nicely and artistically done. The residence provides good fresh breakfast in a basket of fruits, juices and pastries delivered every morning. We appreciate kind recommendations of the owner that made our tourists sights and restaurant choices so much easier. Thank you very much!

AustraliaThat we had to leave!
The Herring's Residence is a beautifully renovated cottage. It was impeccably clean, comfortable, quiet and within easy walking distance to all Bruges has to offer. The breakfast supplies were absolutely superb. Fresh bread, fruit, fruit juice and pastries were supplied every morning along with eggs, a selection of cheeses, meats, home made preserves & yoghurt. We absolutely loved our stay here.

Czech RepublicOur expectations were exceeded by orders of magnitude. The house is in the very center, but in a side street, which is very quite even in the touristic rush hours. Should that be not enough, the house is in the backyard, which is just silent. Maryke the landlady, is like from the fairy tale, really a nice person in every aspect. Concerning food: you get full fridge of selected cheeses, ham, homemade jams, eggs etc. Every morning you get a basket of fresh bread, pastry, juice and some surprise. The house (yes, you get the whole 3 story house just for yourself) is a historic one but very tastefully restored and equipped.

United KingdomA perfect property. The Herrings residence is an absolutely magical find. Gentle jazz playing on arrival with a homemade apple cake on the side, a warm cosy cottage oozing charm, it was a memorable and pleasurable experience from start to finish. The property is stylish, relaxing, welcoming, comfortable, private and spotless! We loved being so close to the centre of Brugge, within a few minutes walking distance to so many beautiful sights,and yet it was a peaceful, quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle only minutes away. The hosts were welcoming and the breakfasts provided were delicious and plentiful. Fresh pastries and bread delivered daily, beautiful cheeses, meats, freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade granola, jams, fresh fruit, yogurts and bacon and eggs stocked in the fridge ready to be cooked at your leisure. Our host gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants and advised us of places to visit. A private and secure parking space was the cherry on the cake and gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. There is nothing to dislike about our stay other than it wasn’t long enough. We hope to return to Brugge one day and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else other than this beautiful cottage. We really can’t rate our stay highly enough, a perfect stay, in a perfect place making a perfect few days away.

United StatesWe didn't find the sofa in the living room to be very comfortable. But not a deal breaker at all.
The location is just perfect! It's a beautiful apartment nearby everything in Bruges. Even though it was centrally located I could not believe how QUIET it was. The breakfast and food provided by the host was just amazing. We ate well for every breakfast, but also were able to stretch the food for some snacks throughout the stay. It really helped to cut down on food expenses (which are quite high)! The bed was so so comfortable. The apartment is on 3 floors with living room and kitchen on the ground level. Bedroom and bathroom upstairs and an additional sitting area on the top floor. The host was incredibly gracious and helped to show us areas of the city to explore on the map when we arrived. You will not regret staying here!

MalaysiaNothing. Everything is absolutely perfect.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at B&B Herrings Residence during my trip to Bruges, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. First and foremost, the location of the B&B is absolutely perfect. Tucked away in a quiet street, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center, while still being conveniently close to all the main attractions. Exploring Bruges from this charming B&B was an absolute delight! The settings of the B&B are truly enchanting. The apartment is tastefully designed that strike the perfect balance between modern comfort and traditional charm. There was always a sense of tranquility and serenity that made my stay truly unforgettable. Maryke the owner has decorated this place with a lots of love, heart and care.
