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.).

IrelandThis is a hotel with no staff and so ...you swipe in with your phone and thats fine unless perhaps you lost your phone or it was stolen etc in which case it would be impossible to access the property

AustraliaMy room was facing the courtyard on second floor. The daytime view is pretty grim, but even worse at nightime I found it very difficult to see in the living area. Had to use by phone flashlight to make a cup of tea. Bedroom lighting was better.
Location is great. Enjoy some time people watching in the street level entry area. Nice size with separate bedroom up a couple of steps.

Excellent location on the canal and close to restaurants and shops. Walking distance from attractions. The room was beautifully decorated and had a modern bathroom and kitchen. Responsive host.

United KingdomNo lift and having to carry a suitcase all the way up the winding spiral stairs to the room on the top floor! It would have been good to have a mirror in the bedroom there was only one mirror and it was in the bathroom. This would be useful especially if there is more than one person staying in the room There was no iron in the room, it would have been useful as we were attending a wedding.
It was central to everything Very clean Great view over the canal Beautiful room Would definitely stay again

TurkeyThe area is noisy at night. The stairs are very steep and difficult to scale because it is an old building converted to a hotel. I would stay away from the venue if you have mobility issues.
This is a staffless hotel, but the entry into the building and the room is easy. Also there is daily room cleaning. The location is very central, but the downside is it can get noisy at night as there are several bars/restaurants around. The room is spacious and comfortable.

United KingdomThe stairs are very steep and need more hand holds. The bedroom staircase needed a rail for safety. More hooks in the bathroom needed.
We liked the central location and as we had a high room slept very well and it was very quiet. Liked the way the apartment had been decorated and the character of the property

NetherlandsThe building had very narrow and steep staircases, which I could manage, but less mobile people will have difficulties with it, being no elevator in this old building. I could manage the no-staff situation well with the mobile log-in feature, but having a personal welcome is nicer nevertheless.
I expected a mini-apartment, but on arrival I found a beautiful old building with a nice 2-story apartment-with-view into old Leiden. I enjoyed the stay very much and hope I can come back another time. The check-in worked nicely without any hotel staff; there was even room-cleaning every day, which I had not expected for an appartment setting.

BelgiumThe stairs were steep, so it might be an issue if one travels alone and has heavy luggage. My room was on the 3rd floor (loft), so it was a bit of a climb. The hotel told me there was no lift beforehand, so I am not complaining. :-)
The location was excellent. Very near to restaurants and shops, and to the water. The staff-less hotel was a bit strange at first, but the instructions were clear, and the facilities worked as expected. The cleaning was a plus!

Czech RepublicThe lighting in the kitchen did not work. I would recommend swapping the desk for a dining table which would allow to eat normally and also watch the tv (since the sofa is not facing the tv). Beware of steep stairs in case you have limited mobility or large suitcase.
Perfect location, stylish, large, and comfortable apartment. No noise neither from neighbours nor from the outside.
