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.).

NetherlandsUnfortunately, none of the five of us got any sleep. While the location is great in terms of being close to the beach and shops, it turns out it’s also right in the nightlife area of Katwijk. You might think that’s not a big deal, but it really was. The music from nearby venues was loud, and even more disturbing were the drunk people yelling in the street well into the night. Of course, that’s not entirely the hotel’s fault. What made it worse was how warm it was in the room. We had to keep the windows open to get some air, but if there had been air conditioning, we could have kept them closed—and probably would’ve slept much better. That was a real downside, especially since we had planned to see Soldaat van Oranje the next day. A good night’s sleep was what we hoped for.
The room was actually larger than we expected, and everything was clean. We had read several reviews mentioning issues with the showers, but we didn’t experience any problems at all. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff was friendly.

The bar was fantastic, the staff were brilliant. Rooms were pretty basic, but they are only to get your head down. Had own toilet, shower and sink, that’s all you need! Five min walk to an amazing beach! Perfect location.

NetherlandsIf you come for a weekend, please take note that this is a bar that stays open until quite late at night, with loud music. The bathroom has a shower, but it is not separate. It's next to the toilet, so if you want to take a shower, everything gets wet...
The breakfast was very nice. Happy with this

LithuaniaI was not too fond of the price. The breakfast starts at 9:00 :) It would be good to know that before ordering it. Maybe it is good if you are on vacation. The curtain in the shower could be added, and now water is spread all around, including the toilet. Clothes hangers are not available. The window curtains were torn.
I like the location.

SwitzerlandIn the bar, the guys serving are substantially not looking at people sitting in. Their focus was the people sitting outside. I was ready to order since few minutes, I started staring at the dudes walking back and forth several times in an attempt to capture their attention, but they were totally attentive only of the people outside. Once I went to the cash and asked if I could order, they were prompt in serving.
Location is nice. I discovered an alternative to Noordwijk. The rooms are hostel like. Essential, but very clean and rather new materials. I did not take advantage of the paid breakfast: it was from 9 to 11, too late for my appointments. The bar has a good selection of beers and the menu is rather tasty

GermanyThe hotel is at the same time a busy restaurant with a lot of loud nightlife. We did not have an aircon in the room, so with open windows heard the full party long into the night. My bad, I was not aware of this, traveling with friends, I would have liked that. We found gummibears and tissues under the bed, the linen had holes, and the overall room was not very clean. I missed a wardrobe, a lot.
I chose this hotel for two reasons: I could bring a pet and it was walkable to the beach, and we wanted a larger room for the family. All these criteria were perfectly met. We had an own bathroom and an own separate toilet. Lots of electric plugs to recharge.

NetherlandsThe place has a decrepit look to it. The door didn't fall into its lock properly, and there was no Don't Disturb hanger on the door which almost caused a cleaner to wander into the room. There is a lot of noise outside the window. I was on the third floor, but I feel bad for those on the first floor. The bar tends to be very busy, which makes contacting the staff a little tricky. All in all, I wish I had spent this money on a more standard, respectable hotel.
The bed was clean at least, and the staff were pretty nice, for what it's worth. There's a way to get inside even after hours, which is nice.

NetherlandsThe bed was a bit too short. I 'solved' it by pulling the mattress away about 10 cm from the wall and moving the pillow up. But I am not that tall. I am wondering how taller people used to solve this. It was also a pity that the breakfast was only available from 9am on. I think from 7am on would be a more common and practical time.
Clean room, good shower, basically good bed and pillow.
