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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

I would prefer that there was not a limit of timing in the shower. I think it is useful to save water, but it does put pressure on guests.
The hotel is a very cozy and warm place, that is well located for both University of Utrecht and the city center. Moreover, the host is very attentive to the guests.

You get to experience a genuine Dutch city house which means it has vertigo-inducing steep stairs and no lift. But Ted grabbed our luggage and ran it up the three flights, showing the stairs are good for you. Whilst it’s a shared toilet/shower, there’s one per 4 rooms so you won’t have to wait. It’s a 20 min walk from station which we did with large suitcases over cobblestones- not a good idea. But 5 minutes away from the hotel is a direct and frequent bus stop which we successfully took back.
Ted made our stay wonderful and memorable. He is so friendly and enthusiastic to please the guests in the hotel he has run for decades. I have never shaken hands with a motel owner to say hello and goodbye before!Nice breakfast too, all for a price lower than an impersonal hotel. We really liked Utrecht.

Remember to bring your own tea / coffee sachets as just a kettle. The stairs are steep.
Ted was a kind host - kept our bags for us and was really lovely. The breakfast was very good and the location excellent. Facilities were basic but everything you need and scrupulously clean.

Ted, the loveliest person and owner of the hotel made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable and truly accommodates you to the best of his ability, such as allowing us to leave our luggage at the hotel until our train departed after check out . The hotel was exceptionally clean for how antique it seems, the beds were very comfortable with housekeeping everyday to ensure you come back to a clean and comfortable stay. The breakfast was deliciously simple, with eggs fresh from Ted’s farm! The hotel is in a great location, just off the street from a canal and a short walk to the city centre.

EVERYTHING. We had a fantastic nights sleep in the most welcoming accommodation we have had on our Europe trip. The host is the most caring and welcoming person you will meet! We wish we had stayed longer to enjoy his company and this place a bit longer. Location is great too! A quick walk to the centre but out enough to be nice and quiet while you sleep. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Nothing to point out.
The room was well-appointed and the hotel was located in a quiet and friendly area. The host went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. From the moment I arrived, he greeted me warmly and always addressed me by my name, which added a personalized touch to the service. His genuine care and attention to detail made me feel valued as a guest and truly enhanced my overall experience. I would gladly return to this hotel in the future!
