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 KingdomWe booked a suite room as it was our last night of our holidays. Unfortunately, the room didn't resemble those pictured on the listing, so we where rather disappointed. I did make the front desk aware, but due to the hotel being full, they were unable to move us to a different room, which I understand. Had we been allocated a suite as shown in the listing we would have had a wonderful stay. I think a different pricing structure for the new and old rooms, could be an idea to prevent any confusion or disappointment.
A wonderful hotel in a great location. Lovely meal in the restaurant and ideal for our night stopover.

LuxembourgJust a few small things. All the pillows were thick and firm, not quite our preference. The family room we had was located on the first floor and, because the building is very old, it doesn't have any elevator. Furthermore the stairs are a bit narrow.
Beautiful historical building with modern and clean rooms. Nice restaurant on site. We had a large family room that accommodated comfortably our family of 4. Good buffet breakfast. Brilliant location in a quiet area very close to Arenberg Castle, it's park and it's university campus. Free parking available on the street nearby and private paid parking in the hotel garage also avaliable.

NetherlandsThe lack of a proper shower was a bit of a disappointment (only a bath and no room to stand). Boiling your own egg at breakfast seems like a nice concept, but in practice there are too many downsides.

The room was a modern studio in a separte building, not expected if you look at the main building. Breakfast was extensive with wide choice and very good quality.

United KingdomThe heating in the rooms were all set to frost protect on arrival and, although it took very little time to heat the rooms, it would have been better if the heating had been turned on prior to arriving in the rooms.
The rooms were large and well equipped. The location in the University was beautiful and provided much space for walks and fresh air. The breakfast was attentively served with a good choice of hot and cold foods.

GermanyRoom under the attic is super, with only one little disadvantge of having only one little window due to architectural reasons, more and brighter lighting concept would improve the great rooms! Matresses a little soft and no longer the newest ones?

United KingdomRoom layout very odd. I don’t have any idea what the architect/interior designer was thinking. All done to good quality, but bathroom/wc arrangement was poor and lighting in the room was terrible. Really needs a fundamental rethink. A shame, as the place was otherwise very good.

RomaniaI met 5 members of the staff. Three extremely professional, at the registration desk and at the bar - coffee and tea for breakfast. Two really not do much, the personnel taking care of the rooms. Knocked very hard on my door, one right after I arrived looking for a phone. The day of the departure, while I was packing and still had time to check out, knocked again quite hard and I think immediately placed the key in the door. But: overall my experience at the hotel was very positive.
This is a very nice hotel. Place is very quiet. Breakfast was excellent. There is a bus station right in front of the hotel, bus #2, direct connection to downtown and train station. I would certainly choose the same hotel next time I travel to Leuven.
