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 KingdomObviously being in the loft room there are lots of stairs. Also the beams are quite low and so getting up in the middle of the night for taller people can be a challenge.
This was our second visit to the property. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and found the team during our stay, very friendly and helpful. Being able to store our bikes safely overnight gave us peace of mind. We stayed in the Loft room with a nice view over the square and sitting area. We enjoyed a breakfast of local ham and cheese, croissants and omelette and yoghurt with fruit. A great start to the day!!

United KingdomThe room I stayed in was at the top of the house. There were about 4 flights of stairs that were all quite steep.
The hotel and room were beautiful. Very stylish and everyone was very helpful. It was a fabulous location just by the canal and a short walk from the old town.

SpainYou can hear the loud bells from the clock tower close by until late at night and early in the morning, although there were earplugs provided in the room. Quite noisy in general: creaky stairs, thin walls, etc. Not an issue for me but for those very sensitive to sound, be warned! Room lacked a desk or surface to work on.
Wonderful hotel in a beautiful historic building right in the centre of Leiden. Generous rooms with modern bathrooms, while maintaining authentic details and character. Very friendly staff, although they are not there until late, so after 18:00 no staff on site, which for me wasn't an issue.

United KingdomIt was all lovely - really no complaints.
Absolutely beautiful and very generous room (I booked the Royal Suite). Everything about it was lovely, from the view over the canal from the windows, to the decor and the very, very comfortable bed. Good coffee maker in the room, plenty of storage, great lighting and well placed in the historic centre of Leiden. You can get breakfast, you just need to tell the staff ahead of time, but we walked down the road to a great little cafe instead. Highly recommended hotel.
