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 reviewLocation 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.
Beds 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.

Verified reviewThe 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.
Would 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.

Verified reviewThe location is decent, but wrongly stated as 10 minutes by train to the center. The room was ok, however, basic amenities e.g. sleepers (clothed shoes, tooth brush, paste etc.) were not provided, neither the proper toiletries were there.
Basic amenities, such as sleepers (clothed shoes), toothbrush, paste, etc., were not provided, nor were the proper toiletries available, even upon demand. Secondly had an issue while checking the payment shown by their system was different than what I paid to booking.com. Took a while to explain to them, but they were insisting that booking.com has its own fee thats why you have to pay more. Upon showing them payment proofs, we were able to manage, but it took a whil,e and got late, plus all the hassle made it uncomfortable. Additionally, their cards were not working for rooms, so we had to use physical keys with a threat of a fine in case keys are lost.

Verified reviewConvenient 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.
There 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.

Verified reviewI 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
