How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA comfortable and clean place. No breakfast or restaurant, but the very friendly owner showed us several options and suggested a wonderful bakery in Xanten where had a great breakfast. (There is also a kitchen at the guesthouse if you want to cook your own food.)

Verified reviewWe were with bikes. We arrived a bit late, because the house is not close to Xanten. However our host helped us making us comfortable and helping us realising a late dinner.

Verified reviewShared bathroom, but it was only for 3 rooms so it was never an issue waiting to use the shower or toilet Nice room, simple but well laid out. The restaurant down the road was also quite nice for food
It is quite a bit outside of the town, for us that was perfect as it was along our cycling route but might be an issue if you're with a larger group

Verified reviewI liked that they had a whole kitchen that every guest can use and a living room with a kicker
I didn't like that it was near a main road but I didn't notice it that much

Verified reviewI stayed at Haus Gretchen Alpen during my 18-day solo ride along the Rhine and my stay was almost at the end of the trip. I arrived early and ate lunch outside in the grounds of the hotel in a nicely laid out garden which has tables and chairs. The kitchen facilities were very adequate and the dining / living room inside was spacious and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and pleasant and the hotel generally had a a very nice ambience. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The location was convenient for getting to Amsterdam by bike in just a few days and the house sits on agricultural land near a beautiful stretch of countryside. I'd certainly recommend a stay here and would come back if I'm traveling this route again.
My room was on the top floor with just a skylight and no window, a little dark. But aside from that I had a very comfortable night and I would still rate the hotel ten out of ten because everything else was perfect.

Verified reviewThe host was really sweet and cooperative by extending the checkout time by half an hour.
Only suggestion would be keep the smoking tables away from the kitchen area of the apartment in the groud floor.
