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.).

The way rooms are displayed is a bit weird. All the 3 rooms share the same door and the same bathroom so this can be sometimes inconvenient. We were not informed about this upfront and no other room was available.
Breakfast is great!!

No privacy between the rooms in the apartment as they all connect to each other. One of the two bathrooms was not functional during our stay. The whole family had to share one bathroom.
Spacious apartments.

Not much to do in the direct vicinity. Even the nearby town, Emmeloord, has nothing to offer. Places a bit further away, Urk Schokland Lemmer, are really nice.
Nice clean room. Modern shower. Great view. Breakfast with lots of choice. Friendly people. Next to highway exit.

- • Economy Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
First of all the room was very far from the reception,restaurant, elevator and terrace: at least 100 meters.But we asked for a quitet room, and we got it. Our main problem was that when we left three days earlier, we were confronted with a very sick dogkeeper, what obliged us to take our dog with us.The two first hotels agreed to have the dog in just for sleeping(he stayed in the car for the rest of the time f.e.dinner) but Van der Valk refused; he had to stay and sleep in the car. And that for a top hotel trademark; if I have to chose hotels, I will choose one which helps people to solve problems and attend tot clients confort.
The room was excellent including a bath, large and comfortable.Dinner was excellent, served by very friendly people and breakfast bright.The parking provided a safe place for our oldtimer, and the location was very quiet. The value for money balance was excellent.

Due to the location outside town, you need the car (or bicycle) to go in town
The Hotel is in a calm location near a little harbour, so no noise at all during night or day. The room was a very good size, and the bed was just wonderfull (not too hard, not too soft, and most important it was really large and long). The breakfast was top with a large choice of warm and cold, salty and sweety. The restaurant has a nice menu with some local and international choices. But for me the best was the staff : The ladies and gentlemen from the service were just great. Very friendly, nice and good service. No problem with the language (i speak a little dutch, but they seem to speak all at least english). If I'm in the area again, you will for sure be my first choice.
