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 StatesI knew the room would be small, but it was so small that I couldn't put my suitcase on the floor without blocking either the room door or the bathroom door; there was no other place for it. SUGGESTION: the bathroom sink was right next to the toilet, and I almost dipped my nightgown into the toilet water several times because it did not have a lid. A lid would be really helpful. Also a few more hooks in the bathroom and room. And at least a plastic drinking glass. The faucet was so close to the tiny sink that I couldn't use it to fill my medium water bottle without cupping the water to funnel it into the bottle - not so sanitary...
I liked the location on Prinsengracht. The hotel staff were quite helpful, calling several restaurants to help me make last-minute reservations. I was glad there was a fan in the tiny room. And thank goodness, there was a window. The bed was comfortable, too. I appreciated being able to change the length of my reservation right up to 2 days before.

United KingdomThere's not much the hotel can do about this - Our double-bedroom was really cramped .. very small in area. Didn't expect it to be that small. There's the double-bed, a few round stools, a narrow dressing table, a TV on the wall (which we didn't bother watching), and almost no wardrobe except for a few hangers next to the table. If you are travelling with large suitcases (we were'nt) or big Backpacks you'll struggle for space so keep that in mind. (we had 2 small airplane-cabin suitcases so had slightly less issue.) We didn't get a canal view room so can't say much of the views. (Were told you need to reserve canal side much in advance).
Hotel location is by the Prinsengracht canal, and is adequately served by Trams 2 and 12 from the Amsterdam Centraal station. One could walk the distance for a better feel of the city. Location of this hotel is a BIG plus - its right next to Leidseplein area which is adequately served by other Trams (num 5), has plenty of food options ... really you'd be spoilt for choice ... proper restaurants as well as fast-food joints of all sizes, and supermarkets close-by. Also nightclubs around, then there's Holland Casino and the Lido ... all within 5-8 mins. walking distance. The area is also probably 15-20 mins walking distance from the happening Dam square and the shopping area. Room wise - There was a table fan provided in the room which was a welcome addition. Beds were cozy and comfy. Room starts and ends with the beds ... not much walking space in room; but then there's the sorrounding streets in this part of the city to get your legs to walk ... so why bother them in the room!! Bathroom was quite narrow as well though had good hot water supply, adequate shower gels in dispensers, a working hair-dryer. A coffee machine in the small'ish lobby area gives a few coffee options, that you can take and sit and drink there in the lobby. Apples were provided in this same area on all days that we stayed. Lobby area is good well-kept, well-lit with quite a few plug sockets ... lobby itself is pretty small.
