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.).

AustraliaRooms were a bit dark during the day due to being on the lower level and the main lights in the room weren’t working.
The area was very convenient, close to the main part of town with access to trams and supermarkets. Rooms were a great size for 2 people, very spacious. The shower was great!

United KingdomThe room was very small. The bed in our room was broken on one side, so we were given a replacement room but this felt smaller and almost like a downgrade. There was no radio in the new room. There is no bar at the hotel.
The location of the hotel is perfect, close to transport links, shops and there’s a great restaurant called Kartel opposite. TV was a good size. Hotel is beautifully decorated.

LatviaIt was the second time we stayed at Hotel van de Vijsel and we loved it as much as the first time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location is ideal, both museums and the old town are nearby. There is a bike rental next to the hotel. Breakfast was very good.

United StatesNo where on my booking description did it say our suite was actually a loft suite with a scary step set of stars to climb up to our bed. We both have knee injures and it was difficult for us to climb up and down to our bed. I specifically checked to see if there were elevators to our room, there were, but had no idea we had to climb up stairs in our room.
Breakfast and lower lobby was great. Elevators were nicely placed. Great modern yet rustic design of hallways.

UkraineAt night we woke up due to a noise similar to the operation of a pump. This was repeated 3-4 times during the night.
A wonderful hotel with a beautiful interior and cozy rooms. Breakfast is a delightful affair, featuring freshly baked pastries, artisanal cheeses, farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, and sizzling bacon omelets. Conveniently located near the old town and museum quarter, it's the perfect base for exploring on foot, with the warm and welcoming staff always ready to offer helpful guidance and local insights.

SwedenSmall rooms are extremely small, no space for the luggage or even for 2 people to pass at the same time. You either enter the bathroom or jump to the bed so the other person can pass to the other side. Doesn't seam fair for the price paid. Doesn't have conditioner for the hair. We were unfortunate to have a yelling neighbor that kept us awake for 1h in the middle of the night. Not the hotel's fault, though...
Good breakfast, good location, nice design and modern.
