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.).

United KingdomThe room was not ready for us when we arrived but the staff gave us a complimentary. However due to housekeeping staff shortages the room was not made up for us when we got back from our day out at 17.15; and as we needed to change the staff said that they were now off duty.
Very convenient and comfortable. The breakfast was very good. .

United StatesWe did a last minute booking at Hotel Lion D’Or and were very happy with our choice. The location, across from the Haarlem train/bus station was very convenient, as was their parking, just steps away in a secure courtyard. The staff was very friendly and our rooms were well appointed and beautifully decorated. The bathroom is very modern and clean. The beds were very comfortable with lovely linens and comfy pillows. Breakfast was plentiful. The town center with plenty of lovely stores & restaurants is just steps away Highly recommend staying at this hip hotel when visiting Haarlem.

United StatesWe paid for a room with a king bed. Instead we were assigned a room that was so crammed with two beds that there was barely any room for a small chair. No space for luggage. The bathroom had NO space for any personal toiletries— no counter space or shelves. The front desk agent was very kind and tried to find a more reasonable room for us but was unable to because they were fully booked. They brought in another chair for us but there was no space for one.
Location. Air conditioning.

Hôtel was perfect for our needs. Rooms were nice sized with very comfortable beds and good lighting. Haarlem is just outside of Amsterdam and a really lovely city.

GreeceThe wifi was awful. I mentioned it to two employees who told me it was working fine. I mentioned it again as I checked out and the manager said I should have said something earlier and he could have fixed it. I didn't check the reviews before I booked, which mentioning the wifi. In my room I couldn't even check my email and did some work in the cafe though sometimes that went out as well. For just a holiday and not needing to work this would be perfect.
The bed was comfortable and I slept well.

United KingdomTemperature control in the room Coffee served with breakfast
A beautifully designed hotel in a very central location, especially convenient for trains and buses. We struggled to sleep due to the sweaty mattress protector and the ineffective air conditioning which seemed to switch itself off during the night. Breakfast was good apart from the coffee.
