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.).

BelgiumBreakfast could have been of a higher quality for the price. No airconditioning in room but there was a fan.
Very nice spacious room with large bathroom (shower and bath) and separate toilet. Comfortable bed. Great location, right in the city centre and closeby shops, restaurants and public transport.

United StatesWe wish there was more storage space in the bathroom and the room itself. For example, the nightstands are single top tables with no lower shelf. While the bathroom sink was very nice, large and long; very little space for bathroom items. My wife put one of the nightstands in the bathroom to hold her items. I had very little but still had to put on the edge of the tub. A simple table under the sink or and attached 3 inch shelf above the sink would have been a great addition. And in the room, even the smallest of refrigerators would be nice. This is an older property with interesting stairs (which we are finding common in this area). If you like staying in interesting places, this may be for you. If you want the American hotel experience, not for you.
Comfortable bed. Was able to check in early and if not, could have left our luggage. Great location not too far from the train station with grocery store within 3 minute walk. Excellent restaurant next door. For the Netherlands, spacious room in a historic building probably ??500 years old. Friendly staff.

CanadaIt's an old property, so no air conditioning, but most of the time that won't be a problem. I thought since it was a B&B, breakfast would be included. It's not.
I thought the bathroom in our suite was great. The suite was spacious and comfortable. It would work well for families with an attic room with bunkbeds in it.

CanadaMAF hotel is beautiful and comfortable. The staff were great. Just a few things were missed, the rain shower head didn’t work, the provided toiletries were not filled and the pipes really need to be unplugged ( sink and shower). Otherwise our stay was great! As a note, the street was very noisy at night ( until 3am) all three of our nights, so earplugs are beneficial for a good nights sleep. The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe staircase is steep, because of the age of the property, and I was anxious about falling. I could not carry a case upstairs, although staff were happy to help. There were no facilities such as a bar, communal area or restaurant on site, other than breakfast, and no fridges in the room. The shower made the bathroom floor wet as there was no curtain or shower door.
The location is excellent and the building is very quirky. Large bedrooms and interesting decor and furnishing including a sofa in my room. The breakfast room is lovely and breakfast was good, although some people may prefer more choice. I was happy with it, although would have loved a lot of English breakfast tea!

NetherlandsRoom was not well cleaned, there was lot of dust under the bed. Bathroom gel and shampoo bottles were empty and toilet paper not refilled. The treatment was correct but we missed a little more welcoming attitude from the personnel.
Property was beautifully decorated with all details and in an excellent location. Bed was big and we had all we needed.

United StatesOnly had fan and window to cool the room (no AC). Oddly, we couldn't open the window much more than a couple of inches due to a local cat that kept showing up and sitting on the outer window sill (no screen on window to prevent it from entering). Slow bath drains (both shower and sink) could use some attention.
Proximity to Grote Market was great. Interesting and unique decoration. Nicely sized room. Quiet. Was able to check-in after normal front desk hours with no problem using provided instruction and outer keybox.

United KingdomWe didn’t mind, but some people would find the staircase challenging. Like many old Dutch buildings the staircases are narrow and super steep (no lifts). Anyone with reduced mobility would be in trouble.
Lovely old, charming & quirky property. Decor is in keeping with the age of the house - shabby chic and the building oozes history. Room was large and despite the central location, it was quiet. The bed, huge and comfortable. Great location close to everything. A 10 min stroll to the train station or around the corner (3 minute walk) is the bus stop for the airport bus - all very convenient.

IrelandI wish the bar downstairs had been open while we were there! I think it was called the Red Room, it was stunning!
The room we were in was beautiful, The bed was incredibly comfortable. The bedroom was the typical old Dutch style, with lots of exposed beams and different levels. The bathroom was super modern with a large bath and shower. The property is perfect for couples, there are a couple of narrow staircases to climb, so if you have mobility issues, this wouldn't be the right property for you. The location is absolutely perfect. I found the room to be clean though if you do require cleaning or towels etc during your stay you do need to ask. This is a boutique hotel, there is no one at reception in the evening or night.
