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 StatesBeing American, was concerned about no AC. We lucked out that the weather was very cool during our stay and the fans were more than sufficient.
The daily breakfast, delivered to the room was amazing (croissants, whole grain bread, cheese and ham, yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juice, and fruit). Loved the location. It's a little outside of the city centre (about 1/2 mile), but we chose that location- right on the canal, very quiet, and near a small neighborhood with restaurants and shops. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Bathroom was modern and very clean. Overall, a great hotel.

United KingdomWe stayed at the hotel when the weather was 30degrees, there was a fan in the room but no air conditioning - it was very warm.
The hotel is in a lovely location overlooking the canal ideal for exploring Utrecht. We had a room on the top floor that was comfortable and nicely decorated, the bathroom was modern and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful location, right by the canal and shops / restaurants but also had a peaceful, quiet and safe vibe. Good kitchen & layout for a family of four. Lots of windows for fresh air.

Saudi ArabiaI didnt like that you couldn't open up the windows much at all (maybe 15cms max), so the room because a bit stuffy during the warmer days without proper ventilation. A small floor or portable fan would be a nice touch. I also didn't like that while the place provided a hot plate, and some very very basic kitchenware, it did not provide a small skillet, or pot. So the hot plate was useless, unless you bring your own cookingware or buy a cheap, disposable one.
The hotel has an amazing location and beautiful views from the front facing rooms, overlooking a gorgeous section of the Oudegracht (Old canal) in Utrecht. The room is tastefully decorated in a vintage style, with nice touches here and there. Lighting is very nice.

TurkeyPricy :)
Perfectly situated in the heart of the city and still in a very quiet part of the main canal (Oude Gracht) Even sitting on your table with your partner and watching the canal while sharing a bottle of wine or coffee would be very much enough to live the atmosphere of Utrecht. Antique mirrors and beatiful paintings on the high ceiling walls make the room so lovely. Although we are all day walking travellers we happened to find ourselves in the room occasionally while strolling in the city :) You can pick an umbrella from the reception in rainy days, rent a bike for 10€ from the nearby train station (Vaartsche Rijn Station) and rent a canoe when you walk 50 meters to the left. (10 € per person per hour).
