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 StatesNothing.
The hosts are marvelous — they are gracious and welcoming and on site all day. They are superb tour guides with local recommendations for every day, and they prepare a delicious breakfast buffet! The property is located in the section of Haarlem where motor vehicles are not allowed!

United Stateswhen you initially walk in the door, there’s a very steep set of stairs. You just need to be aware. (The steps actually lend to the charm of the property.)
Talk about a gem! This was probably one of the best places we have stayed in 30+ years of traveling. The location is two minutes away from the central market. The rooms are immaculate. Water pressure is great. Bathroom has modern upgraded amenities. Breakfast in the morning is everything you could want or need. And the proprietors look to fill every conceivable need within reason. Staying at Malts was the highlight of a month long trip around Europe.

IsraelThe hotel is in walking distance of the train/bus station in the middle of all the attractions and near the bus to the beaches and also to the airport. Surrounded by restaurants and shops. We had a good strong fan in the room. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The host and hostess excelled in their friendly approach and the breakfast was made on the spot with fresh orange juice for starters.

United KingdomNothing, it was just what we wanted.
We had previously spent 10 very enjoyable but busy days with our family in various locations, after they returned home, my wife and I wanted to relax for a couple days to before we returned home. Haarlem and in particular the Malts hotel met all our expectations. Henk and Annemarie were the perfect hosts. A great source of information and recommendations. We could not fault the accommodation, the excellent breakfast and the location. We hope to return soon.

United StatesHotel Malts exceeded expectations in every area. I was traveling with my teen grandaughter, and we were both comfortable. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and wealth of information about the area. I can't recommend this B&B highly enough. Breakfast was fresh and excellent. I really appreciated having coffee, tea, and fruit available all day. Haarlem is a perfect home base for exploring The Netherlands.

The hotel was ideally located in Haarlem. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. The hosts were exceptional and couldn’t be more helpful. Lots to do and see in Haarlem and it is only 15 minutes from Amsterdam. Easy to get to by bus from Schiphol airport.
