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):
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 StatesThe lighting was poor in the living area and we needed drawers or shelves so that we could unpack and not live out of our suitcases which only fit on the floor.
Fred was lovely - he made arrangements for us to get the keys as our flight was delayed and he couldn't greet us as a result. It was easy to get there. The breakfast was phenomenal - more varied items and plenty of them than I've ever seen! And he kindly drove us to the train station the early morning we were checking out and gave us sandwiches to enjoy on our journey to Antwerp!

NetherlandsSince it's a very old building with single glass windows, it can feel chilly, especially in the winter months.
A charming old building in the city center, in the middle of historic sights and yet a peaceful location. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is plentiful and varied. There's coffee and tea available all the time.

NorwayThe Het Waterhof is located in a very old building, I found out upon arrival and Fred gave a tour and history of the building. The location is in the centre of Leiden and within walking distance of everything you need. Again a booklet has been produced by Fred and Marion with a list of recommended eateries, I attended a few and they were good. The breakfast is continental and extremely good. A very good standard of accommodation with everything you need. I would highly recommend it and will stay here again during my next trip to Leiden if it's available.

AustraliaWe didn't stay long enough.
The place was very charming and incredibly well appointed. The breakfast part of the bed and breakfast was incredibly generous and we felt very much at home. Leiden was a fabulous destination - incredible food (Bree33 was outstanding) and bike hire (Bizon Bikes) meant we had a lovely time. We will be back. Thanks Fred and Marion for your generosity.

United StatesHonestly nothing!
The property has a marvelously historic past, which Fred was more than happy to explain on our impromptu tour of the centuries-old house. The little suite was beautifully decorated, modern (with old world charm) and very comfortable. Breakfast was AMAZING! delivered to our door , delightfully presented, with lots of choices, and slightly different each day. The neighborhood is fabulous, smack in the middle of Mayflower Pilgrim's and young Rembrandt's surroundings. Great restaurants, not a bad walk from Centraal Station (unless you're shlepping a lot of luggage - if so, take a local bus a couple of stops or a 2 minute uber). A ton of stuff to see and do (don't leave out Rembrandt's Latin School with the portrait window!) We LOVED Leiden and didn't spend enough time there. So we'll have to go back. When we do, we look forward to staying at Het Waterhof again!

Lovely rooms in a historic building - spacious, high-ceilinged, beautifully restored. Very (big) comfy bed and smart shower room. Kitchen area with complimentary hot drinks (and a fridge) in the hallway. Our hosts (Marion and Fred) were very welcoming - also helpful and informative about the history of the building and about the city (local eateries etc). The breakfasts were delicious - very generous, varied and appetising. We had the best time! Leiden itself is delightful and we think this is the nicest B&B we have stayed in!

FranceWe had a great stay ! The B&B is ideally located in the center of Leiden (around 10 min walk from the station), perfect for enjoying the city by foot of bike. The appartmentis very cozy, and part of a historical Dutch house. Fred, the owner, was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during the stay. And last but not least, the breakfast was simply wonderful (Fred especially made it veggie for us) !!
