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 KingdomUnfortunately the nearby bar was very noisy every night during our stay and we only found out later that it is closed during the week and only open over the weekend so worth bearing in mind if you want to catch up on your sleep from lots of sightseeing. Worth planning your trip just for weekdays if possible.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped and in a brilliant location, really close to the main city attractions and Nele the host was really helpful.

United StatesBed was uncomfortable and hurt my back sleeping there. Needs a new mattress. Rest of the bedding was comfortable though. Bathroom is really cramped and hard to work with. There is poor lighting in the bathroom too. Some road noise but not a very busy street while I stayed there.
Nice apartment in a good location. Good amenities with cook top, refrigerator, microwave, and kettle. Good control over the apartment temperature. Located on the first floor but up one flight of steep stairs and no lift.

AustraliaWe were on lower level do we had a lot of noise from other guests/residents as they entered and departed the building, often buzzing & banging doors very early and very late. The floors are all tiles so it is noisy & it travels.
Great location, very clean & excellent communication with host.

IndiaIt would be useful to let guests know that the property can be reached much more easily from Ghent Dampoort station instead of Ghent Sint Peters
Check in process was very smooth. The host was lovely to interact with. The location of the property was superb- in a quiet street very close to the main city attractions.

United KingdomNothing at all.
It was a lovely studio with bathroom and kitchen. We were on first floor and so the room was nice and bright with big windows. Quite a steep stone staircase from ground floor. But manageable. All very clean and comfortable especially the bedding. Very near centre of town. A bit further from train station Gent Sint Pieters. There is a bus stop a few minutes walk round the corner which is convenient to get the number 55 bus to station. About half hour journey. Nele, the owner, is very nice and helpful and easy to contact. I would recommend this for a visit to Gent.

United KingdomNot a huge negative, but more of a suggestion. The property can get very warm inside, which can be easily sorted by providing a small table fan. I suppose this would be more of an issue in the summer months. You can leave the window open, but even with the windows closed, could still hear people talking on the street as they were walking by.
Excellent location and very friendly and responsive host. Everything is from within short walking distance of the property and the host is happy to answer any questions. The property was very spacious and very clean. Had a little issue with internet on the first day but was sorted quickly by restarting the router.
