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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomRoom wasn't ready when we arrived over an hour after our check-in time. No lift meant it was hard lugging furniture up stairs. No air-conditioning so bit hot in the loft of the building.
Location is great. Hotel is stylish and smart. Welcome staff were nice. Family room worked fine for a family of 5.

GermanyClimb the stairs to our room, a maze to get there. We wrote in advance to book a parking spot and we got a confirmation, upon arriving couldn’t find the garage (it doesn’t have any signs), we parked in another location (paid) and upon check in she showed us where the parking was and when we got there, our spot was taking…I call and they said first I didn’t have one, then said it was overbooking. Disappointing as driving in Brugge is complicated and parking is limited, specially on a weekend and during summer.
Location was great, room big, clean and had fans. Breakfast was good.

United KingdomParking was a problem due to us arriving in a van. There was no on-site parking for a van due to its height but also there was nowhere outside the hotel or anywhere near meaning we had to travel 25 minutes walk before finding anywhere suitable. We had some help from the hotel but it was limited. We had to throw our cases into the van when leaving or risk blocking the road as there was no where to stop and wait!
Loved the style of the property- it felt very unique. Tastefully decorated and good nod to the age of the hotel. It felt quirky and I liked that! Location was brilliant. Close enough to get to the centre with a 5 minute walk.

RomaniaBecause the staff was not present during th night we could not report the issue of the very noisy/agitated guest that came in the middle of the night and made it impossible to rest until the early morning (music, dancing, banging of doors, shouting, etc.). No mini bar (fridge).
Wonderful location, right next to the center of the city. Large and conformable beds.

AustraliaNothing we did not like. We just want to mention that this property does not have a lift. It did not bother us as we only carried a small backpack for our trip to Bruges from Brussels.
It was a conveniently located in the heart of Bruges and within walking distance of all the other notable touristy places. We only stayed one night but had a comfortable sleep and the room had basic amenities that we needed. The breakfast was enjoyable and delicious!

United StatesThe breakfast is very basic, but I don't believe we paid extra for it, so that was fine. I wanted to use the hot tub, but was unsure if it was available. All really was great though.
The location of the Black Swan is perfect - close to the main market square but on a quaint street. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage after we checked out. They called a taxi for us and printed our rail tickets. The room was very comfortable with a very modern "rain" shower. The beds were all comfortable. There was a very steep staircase to our room, but we kind of loved it!
