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 KingdomNothing not to like
The room was fresh and clean. I loved the fridge with my own shelf, I could keep food in there for breakfast etc. Everything was thought about. Though it was a b&b there was soft drinks, beer and wine available to buy. The supermarket within walking distance, the 73 bus that came about every 12 mins and went to the centre and the train station. It was very peaceful, nobody bothered me but if I needed anything Fred and his wife were there. Advice about places to visit, Leiden was amazing. Just perfect.

Beds were wonderfully comfy and there are many locations nearby for a relaxing experience.

Great location, peaceful and very accessible via local buses to Haarlem town centre and Schiphol airport. Check in smooth and rooms spotlessly clean and well equipped. Good grocery store and cafe nearby.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
Quiet suburban location. Lovely clean room with modern facilities. Easy to walk or take the bus into Haarlem. Ideally located to stay for a while and use public transport to get to main tourist attractions e.g. Amsterdam. There is a small fridge in the communal area to keep food if you want to self cater but no cooking facilities. Friendly helpful hosts!

ItalyThe distance from the centre was up to 30 minutes even if there were public buses every ten minutes was too much.
The house was extremely clean and the bathroom really comfortable with soap offered unlimitedly. We had the possibility to heat up the room in a few minutes and enjoy some tea or coffee in the morning. The owner was really helpful and kind giving us info for public transportation and how to move around.

The house is located on the outskirts of Harlem in a quiet Cul-de-sac street next to a canal. Modern style rooms, clean, walk-in showers, super matress meant no backaches, tea snd coffee facilities, spacious. Fridge with selection of drinks to buy available in breakfast room. We were allowed to store some of our own provisions in there so we could make our lunchpack. We used the Amsterdam guidebook from the little library in the entrance area and picked up a few tips as well from the friendly host, e.g. to use the train station at Halfweg Station for the train to Central station in Amsterdam., which offers free parking. We stayed three nights and would love to come back.

CroatiaWe are really sorry for waking up owners family in the middle of the night because we did not have double keys, but we personally think it is not our mistake since we were not being told about "keys box" outside the house. But there is still only love. This is just note and not critic.
We picked Haarlem because we did not want to stay in Amsterdam and we went for cheaper options. Not only it was cheaper here but it was really good! It was perfect choice to stay at this property and in this beautiful city! I highly reccomend for everyone who wants to feel what real Dutch life feels like. Tips for the city and this location : RENT A BIKE. Location is perfect, but it is little bit outside the city. If you take a bike, it only takes about 10-15 minutes from accomodation to center of city. From there - you can take train to Amsterdam or if you are brave enough like we - you can just take a ride around the area on bikes. It is perfect experience! Breakfast was just okay, exactly what we needed. Since we stayed outside the room all day and slept little bit longer in morning - owner did just perfect thing keeping the breakfast until almost noon. Also, it is very important to respect where you arrived and not think that Netherlands is open for you to behave like you want. They have high tolerance on lot of things, but it doesnt mean you cant respect where you are. Owners were friendly and respectfull - we even stayed one extra night. Worth visiting because you will feel real Dutch life in just few days...

United StatesPRICE ! With each contact, attitude of hosts deeply inhospitable. Zero interest in satisfying this guest or even talking over potential issues, answering simple questions about the area... Guest experienced serious robbery of all credit and debit cards at Amsterdam Airport. No empathic response of any sort. The costs for room /bath sky high in contrast to similar accomodation. Very poor ( lousy) attitude, sort of frozen in place mindset generally from both hosts, were "not available " to first time ever in Amsterdam area guest.
