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 KingdomBeds not very comfortable, but I prefer a more firm bed so it may just be me. The whole check in process is automated and not very welcoming (you check yourself in and set up your own keycard with the machine) and there is no option to use different cards to pay which I didn't expect and staff weren't very helpful in trying to find a solution. After a long journey you just want a friendly face greeting, but it felt a very hands-off welcome as you do everything yourself.
Location is great, short walk to the station which is then only 2 stops to Centraal. Breakfast was decent, lots available even when I got there 30mins before closing there was still plenty options and it was still hot. Some staff very friendly, others were just ok. GREAT shower, room very clean. Overall a great choice to stay and explore Amsterdam, nice quiet neighbourhood with large supermarket very close by.

United KingdomWould have made more sense for us to put the king bed in the first room and the twin beds in the second room…. But that just would have been our preference.
The family room was really great for a young family. Two bedrooms, bathroom and microwave and kitchen area. Staff were friendly and there’s a great bike shed.

United KingdomThere was an espresso machine however I’d have far preferred a simple kettle to make a hot drink. There were a couple of hairs in the shower tray; the rest of the room was clean.
Convenient location, less than 5 minutes to Zaandam station with very regular trains into Amsterdam centre, and next to a supermarket. Room met our needs, especially happy with the air con. Room was lovely and cool so I had a great night sleep. Shower was good.

Hong Kong2 rooms are so far away
I booked two rooms: one for three people and one for two people. The Triple Room is excellent, providing a round table that’s so gorgeous we can play games and eat together. Most hotels only offer three beds with similar room facilities, but Best Western provides such a great table. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend booking a three-bed room

United KingdomWe booked 2 rooms and PAID EXTRA for kitchenettes and the information CLEARLY states that there would be REFRIGERATORS in the kitchenettes but they were only mini-bars. It’s not cold enough to store food (only drinks)……surely that was the whole point of us booking a kitchenette. When I enquired at reception they informed me I could store food in their restaurant fridge (which we did but it was a hassle). There also wasn’t enough crockery/no cutlery/tea towel/dish soap which was strange. The kitchenette was literally empty! We went down to reception and got some crockery & cutlery but the cleaners took them away so we had to constantly get more. I feel the kitchenette could be better equipped to justify paying the extra money we were charged.
Comfortable hotel with spacious room. Bathroom was lovely and modern, but be mindful that the bathroom door is transparent. We booked a room with a kitchenette and the dining table was a great addition for the family eating breakfast/playing games together. Hotel is beside a supermarket and very close to the train station. Kara on reception was very helpful. They stored our luggage with no extra charge which was super!

NetherlandsWe did not have breakfast there. We wanted to grab a pastry for our daughter in the morning but that wasn't an option outside buying the full breakfast. That would have been nice, but it's not a big deal. The bar could use a few more nice beer options. There are so many craft beers in NL! Standard beers are boring. ;)
Room was a nice size, and we were comfortable.

United KingdomSome smells of cannabis on our level even though signs said no smoking allowed, I guess this says more about the type of tourists the area attracts than the staff or reputation of the hotel. The building itself looks bland compared to the funky modern green buildings surrounding it.
Confortable, excellent location with an awesome view. Easy and quick to get to Zaanse Schans by train. There is a great atmospheric square with lots of restaurants within walking distance.
