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...).

A wonderful room in the very center of Safed, with all modern amenities, despite the antiquity of the walls, with a very cozy courtyard, where a delicious and varied breakfast was served, prepared by the owners. The hostess Joy is very nice, welcoming, and did everything to make our stay in Safed pleasant, providing us with maps and information about interesting places. Each of our questions was answered exhaustively.

IsraelNothing, all was excellent.
Every aspect of the Artist Quarter Guesthouse was outstanding. The rooms are beautifully restored from centuries ago which give the visitor an authentic Safed experience, yet with all the modern conveniences. Ancient and modern are perfectly blended. The accommodations are spotlessly clean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Joy and Evan are the ultimate hosts. They went out of their way to welcome us, provide us with useful information and recommendations, and to ensure a wonderful stay. In summary, a fantastic experience.

IsraelI'm struggling to find a single thing I'd say could have been better. I would recommend 11/10 this stunning place and great hosts, and will most definitely be staying there again myself.
This place is like a little piece of Heaven. I went with a friend to celebrate my birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. Easy to locate, beautifully (authentic) appointed rooms, and a look out at the top of a spiral staircase in the garden, (toward Har Merron) and stunning garden with a fountain, sooooo peaceful and gorgeous. The hosts Joy and Even could not have been any more helpful or nicer, and the whole trip had such a great vibe. The breakfast is home cooked (Shakshuka on day one, Omelettes on day 2 and shabbat brekkie on shabbat). All super delicious (also with salad, home grown olives, humus and juice and coffee). Quiet (no tv which I liked), easy to get to Jerusalem street for shopping, and close to the important religious sites. The rooms are airy, the bathroom has great hot water, and the kitchen was stocked with everything one would need. Joy & Even are really well set with information about whats going on in Tzfat and where things are etc.

United StatesHonestly can't think of anything negative.
Our charming and cozy room (one of two in the B&B), the setting, our hosts (filled with good suggestions about our stay in Sefad), the breakfast … everything. The courtyard is also beautiful; we ate our breakfast outdoors the second day. (Free parking, at a premium in some parts of Sefad, is available very close by). … This was our third stay over several years; we can't wait to return again.

United StatesThe BnB is excellently located within close walking distance of the Old City and the main shopping area. Joy and Evan Yisrael serve an absolutely fantastic (and voluminous!) breakfast and were a great resource for local sights and information. The studio is in a building hundreds of years old and has a great historical feel.

IsraelEverything was wonderful at the Artist Quarter Guesthouse. The one attribute that stands out is attention to detail. Everything one needs is supplied in the room. It is located in a charming and lovely authentic 18th century courtyard that has been renovated beautifully and in wonderful taste.

AustraliaBed was a bit uncomfortable but I'm being pretty picky.
Exceptional hospitality from Joy and Evan. A cute, picturesque little corner of Safed with the guesthouse offering a quiet escape in beautiful surroundings. Joy and Evan really have the art of quality hospitality down pat, ready to chat, amazing breakfast (actually too much e.g. one of our nights was Friday night when no eateries/restaurants are open and Joy provides a pre-prepared breakfast on Friday for Saturday. There was so much for breakfast we ate our Friday night dinner from the breakfast and still had ample for the following morning). Rooms are air conditioned, have tea and coffee, fridge, hair dryer. If I could give more stars I would.

United StatesSomething other than stones for a headboard would have been nice. It was a longish walk, with our luggage, from where we had to park our car (but both Evan and Joy helped!).
Breakfast was served by the host at a table just outside our comfortable room, and it was great! Fresh-baked bread, eggs, etc. Strong Turkish coffee (our preference) was freshly brewed.
