How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEverything was pleasant and respectable. People and the staff are helpful and kind. So all and all it was a great experience, especially with the location being in the centre of so much happening and for such a decent price. Amazing. Thank you 🖖🙏🫶
I don’t have any remarks. For the price, you get everything you need and more as a human being. Saying anything but positive would be demeaning. So ye. Thank you and good luck with what you’re doing 🙏🖖🫶

Verified reviewWell located.
Shared bathroom without light in the actual shower. Out of 2 showers, only one was working. No place to put your soap and your clothes inside the shower.

Verified reviewWorst place I have ever been.
Dirty, the room smells bad. I paid 50 euros for a room, it is super small and dirty, with no management. Landlords are not reachable at all, he says, I don't care about your problem. And he has bad attitude. I was locked outside the door, I had to do the interview, so I had to leave soon, and not able to check out on time. The landlord was super rude, threatening me: if you don't pay the penalty of 50 euros, you cannot check out, and he said "stop talking, pay or you don't check out". I understand that they have their own rules if late check out. But the lack of management, and the poor attitude, it is rough and very unpleasant and difficult to respect.
Dear Liying, We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify the situation: At the time of your check-out (which was due at 12:00 PM), your belongings were still in the room, and you had not completed your check-out. When our staff entered to begin cleaning for the next guest, they found the room still occupied. You returned over an hour later, stating that you had an interview and could not leave on time. Our hostel is the most affordable accommodation in the city, and we ensure that every room is cleaned thoroughly once a day. The rules regarding check-out times and penalties for late departures are clearly displayed throughout the building. While our staff understood your situation, you did not accept the rules and prolonged the matter, causing further delay. We were under time pressure to prepare the room for the next guest. We always aim to treat guests respectfully and fairly and expect the same consideration in return. Kind regards, Thuis bij Schell Team

The attitude of the person in charge.. I think his name is Marcello. I even reported to the Police who came to call him to Order. A Racist of note, to say the least! Daylight Robbery. A big mistake but will warn others about that Place!
Dear Mashilo We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we must clarify the situation for the sake of transparency. During your stay, multiple serious violations of our house rules occurred — including inappropriate behavior in shared areas, disregard for cleaning schedules, and failure to pay a late check-out penalty. Despite multiple warnings, the situation escalated and, for the safety and comfort of other guests, it was necessary to involve the authorities. The decision to ask you to leave was taken in accordance with our policies. We welcome guests from all cultures and backgrounds, and we absolutely reject any form of racism. Accusations of this nature are unfounded and taken very seriously. We encourage all future guests to carefully read the house rules and booking conditions to ensure a smooth and respectful stay for everyone. Team Thuis bij Schell
