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.).

Villa Nicola is in a class of its own. Warm, homely, attention to detail and personal touches were some of the highlights for us. The breakfast was outstanding. Werner made us feel as if it was our home. The house is beautiful and location is central to many Amsterdam highlights. A truly 5 star experience. Thank you Werner, we hope to be back!

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Villa Nicola, a beautiful canal house in an ideal location for exploring Amsterdam. Werner is an exceptional host who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and gave us lots of brilliant recommendations for local restaurants, bars and museums. His breakfast spreads are truly excellent and his dog Kees is a delight!

United KingdomVilla Nicola is perfectly located in a smart, quiet residential area on a canal lined with mature trees on the edge of central Amsterdam. The house dates from 1890s and retains so many beautiful original features you feel immersed in history. The decor is second to none, reflecting Werner, our host’s, impeccable taste for the finer things in life. From high thread count Egyptian cotton bed linen to fresh flowers throughout the house to a breakfast experience more than meal, Werner’s generosity in providing the highest quality for his guests is clear. This is a truly special property with a truly special, warm host.

Everything was just PERFECT 😍. The host has taken care of everything that can be taken care of, down to every detail (from the sweets in the room to calling a taxi). It's luxury, tranquillity, exceptional customer attention in the heart of Amsterdam☺️ I'll definitely go back there if I come to the city. Many thanks!

United StatesThis would not be a good place for anyone with a physical disability as there are steep stairs and no elevator. We had no problems with the stairs, but someone might like to have a heads up.
This was a true find. Our room was spacious and charming. We had a lovely garden, huge bathroom, very comfortable bed and good amenities. Werner, our host made us feel at home and prepared wonderful breakfasts. He has paid a lot of attention to every detail in order to make guests feel comfortable. We absolutely loved Villa Nicola!

United StatesNothing at all ! Wish I could have stayed longer!
Werner is an amazing host! He’s makes you feel like you are staying at the home of a long time friend. The home is beautiful and amazingly decorated. The accommodations are so comfortable! We stayed in the garden villa as we wanted to celebrate our recent engagement and he went out of the way to make sure everything was perfect ! The breakfast he provides is wonderful as well as the little sweet treats he provides! The location is perfect, located on a more private canal street that is very close to many things if you walk or take the tram ! I could not say enough amazing things about this b&b and Werner as a host ! Also, Kees is a great bonus! If you get the chance, please stay here you will not regret! :) 10/10
