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 KingdomNothing really, aircon not hugely powerful.
Good location. Nice room, loved the shutters, shower & the loo was separate which I personally prefer. We had a view over the square below which was nice. A nice handwritten card greeted us, which was a lovely touch. Bring your own water bottle to refill (the provided ones vanished fast). Free drink was a nice bonus on arrival having travelled half the day. The cakes were nice from the cafe.

United StatesIt is not really their fault, but the rooms are upgraded in an old building. Therefore, each room seems to be different. Our room would have been great if we were a couple of decades younger. However, we aren't and getting to our room involved stairs and inside our room were stairs. Also, the elevator is quite small.
The staff was amazing. Very nice and helpful. They provided suggestions for our stay and helped hold our bags after we checked out prior to leaving for Antwerp

United StatesThe shower floor is pretty slippery. We used an extra towel to make the footing more secure. The interior of the hotel and its rooms are very stylish, but I was surprised by the choices made in the interior décor. Many of the room fixtures and the door handles are quite sharp and I managed to seriously gouge my forearm on the sharp edge of a stylish door lever that I happened to rub against. I had a reminder of this throughout the entirety of my Belgium vacation as I had to wear a large wound dressing over it until it finally healed a couple of weeks later. There is a reason that door handles are round and smooth; it's so that they avoid injuring anyone who might happen to rub against them. The sharp steel shelf supports are another example of a problem waiting to happen. Enjoy the hotel, but be careful what you bump up against.
Made in Catherine proved to be a very clean, quiet boutique hotel in a fun and safe neighborhood of Brussels. We had the fourth floor attic room, which was cute and perfect for us, but might have been a problem for some guests, due to the quirky layout of the hotel, which required us to take an elevator to the third floor and then carry our luggage up a flight of stairs to the fourth floor. We travel light and had no trouble with this arrangement, but others might find this difficult. The room was very clean and very quiet, even though there is a coffee bar downstairs in the hotel and a lively park area out front. I attribute this to the use of double-pane windows and thick walls throughout. The neighborhood is fabulous with lots of restaurants and people-watching every evening.

United KingdomI liked the idea of the hotel/café setup, but at times it was hard to get the staff’s attention - which felt a bit awkward. The breakfast also wasn’t quite what I expected - with not many options left towards the end of breakfast... With a few small improvements, the experience could be much better.
Location is amazing - close to everything with many eateries nearby. My room was very clean and very comfortable. It was peaceful at night - despite being so central.
