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.).

AustriaWe loved our stay at the Vondelhouse B&B. The charming couple created a really lovely place, a little oasis to escape from the vibrant city. We felt like in an english cottage, everything is totally new and lovely decorated. The location is very good, not totally central but the beautiful vondelpark is around the corner and offered us nice walks to the city Center and different areas of Amsterdam. If you are a keen walker, you can reach everything by foot from the apartment. We highly can recommend this place for a stay in Amsterdam!

United KingdomThe only thing I can say here is that the pillows were too soft for my liking, but it is just my preference to have a firm pillow. Admittedly I didn’t ask Petra if she had any other pillows, I just assumed that our only option was what was in the room. We both still slept well.
The host, Petra, is fabulous! She allowed us to drop our luggage off early and as the room was ready she gave us access straightaway. The room is big, and extremely clean. I loved the typically Dutch blue and white theme. The bathroom was spotless also. There were dressing gowns and slippers supplied which we found really useful as the room was a little bit chilly - the heating was on but it is a large room to heat! Flannels, soap and shower gel were also supplied. There is access to a kitchen, but we didn’t use it. We would definitely stay here again.

Petra was a fantastic host very kind and helpful. Beautifully presented, very clean and comfortable little appartment, with shared guest kitchen. Very thoughtfully set up with little extras like guest slippers and robe for accessing the bathroom ( Private bathroom for our room sperate from the bedroom which gave us lots of private space) Great location lots of local restaurants and supermarket. Quiet area away the touristy part of the city (you feel like a local!), a only few minutes to the park, great for an early morning walk and easy tram access to all the sites.

Immaculate! Couldn’t fault the b and b at all. The host was friendly and helpful. She had thought of everything. It was all SO clean. We could really see the thought that was put into it, down to the small details, whether it was the matching colours or the treats left in the room. The location is perfect, neighbouring Vondel park, while only being a lovely 30 minute walk through the park to the city centre.

SwedenA long, strait, semi-boring street that leads to the centre. But, you can always take the way through the park instead if you like.
I liked the room very much, very clean and nicely decorated, although I missed a tv since we used to come home pretty early in the evening. The proximity to the park was perfect for us, to get away from the bustling street life for a while and just kick back in the park. Very smooth transfer to/from airport with train and tram. Very friendly hosts.

SwedenClean, quiet, comfortable and beautiful... all you need for an excellent stay. The rooms are at the second floor (steep staircase) and newly refurbished. Vondelpark is just behind the corner and the center is at walk distance. Large choice of bar and restaurant in the neighborhood. Petra is very kind and helpful providing all information needed for a comfortable stay.

United KingdomTwo very small things which we already knew about before our trip and were clearly stated in the Booking.com description:- 1. The very steep steps in order to get to your rooms were no surprise but a challenge nonetheless. 2. It is described as a Bed & Breakfast but no breakfast is provided although the host did say the reason for this is there wasn't a demand for it. We were very happy with the kitchen area which did provide an amazing choice of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. And she gave us a list of recommended cafes and restaurants in the area that provided good breakfast etc.
The location of the B&B was a lovely, quiet residential area near the entrance to Vondel Park which is beautiful. There are many cafes and restaurants very nearby. The walk through the Park provided welcome calm before entering the lively centre of Amsterdam. The rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, spotlessly clean, tastfully decorated. Our host was very hospitable and provided us with lots of useful tips for our trip. We greatly enjoyed our sightseeing days around the Centre but one thing noone told us and which shocked us was how super careful you have to be when navigating the streets on foot. When crossing the road there are bikes, scooters, cars and trams coming from all directions at top speed so your spidy-senses have to be on full alert at all times - we nearly got wiped out a few times!! Otherwise we would highly recommend visiting Amsterdam for a short city break (with some of the attractions needing prebooking online).
