Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The villa was very close to the shopping and restaurant areas, but removed enough to be serene and relaxing. Our room was huge and absolutely lovely, with a big bathtub, balcony, dining area and even a small kitchenette. Parking was also easy and free.

BelgiumNothing really. The property is of course relatively old (although very well maintained) so there can be a little noise from other guests.
An extremely charming little castle with private parking and a very nice host. The location is superb, just outside of Spa in a quiet street. A very nice hike of 14km along several water sources like Barisart starts only a few hundred meters from the property. The very luxurious breakfast is optional and is served at the door of the appartement. A nice little kitchen can be used to make a small meal. If you want to know how it is to live in a castle this is the place to be.

Oh wow, what an amazing apartment with free parking! We stayed in the deluxe suite which had a well-equipped kitchenette, a cozy living room, a modern shower and toilet, and a super spacious bedroom. The location is just a 20-minute walk to the Tourist Information Center of Spa. Make sure to grab a map there and take the beautiful historical walking tour through Spa city. From the B&B, you can stroll through the forested area to visit 2 water springs including the Barisart spring. Pro tip: bring a bottle so you can fill up with that fresh spring water. The breakfast we ordered at the B&B was delicious. The photos on Booking may give an outdated impression of the suite, but in reality, the rooms are beautiful. You won't regret your choice! We will definitely be coming back for another stay!

MacauThat we could not stay longer.
We were looking for a unique place to stay in Spa, and New Castle certainly fits the bill. The gracious owner welcomed us into her wonderful home, which is beautifully decorated and gives you that step back in time with its old world charm. But no fear the house is also updated to include modern necessities like wifi and the well-equipped kitchenette, bathroom, etc. Free parking was available on the grounds. It was an easy drive to the Spa Thermes centre, or you can take a walk in the lovely neighbourhood.

FranceA very minor nuisance was changes in water temperature in the shower (sudden increase in the temperature).
Stay at New-Castle exceeded our expectations. It is amazing that such places still exist and the owners open the doors for others to experience how it is to live in an old castle. Very spacious place with thoughtful touches and antiques. Comfortable beds. Small and functional kitchen. Host's recommendations for restaurants in Spa were superb. Warm and kind host. Would definitely stay there again.

NetherlandsThat we could not stay longer, sadly.
The property is something you’ll speak about for years to come with family and friends. Entering, it felt like being in a drama serie about people from high class. Returning at night, the property was beautifully lit and went up beautifully in the surrounding greenery. The room in which we stayed, the Hunter’s Room, was probably the most special room I have slept in so far, and our lovely host definitely showed her passion when it came to everything! It felt like coming (to a very luxurious) home, with a lovely and attentive host. Definitely would recommend staying there!

A wonderful overnight stay in a 19th century manor home that has been lovingly restored and maintained. The hostess was very welcoming and accommodating with our questions and needs. The grounds to the manor are well-maintained and added to the entire romantic experience. Free parking is available on site behind secure gate. Rooms were spacious, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the loving care and details that went into the restoration. There were kitchen facilities, coffee, teas, available, as well as sitting rooms, associated with each room. The manor is located a short drive up a hill, from city center of Spa. There is number of restaurant choices, and we found parking easily in the town center.

BelgiumWe recently had the pleasure of staying at the New Castle hotel and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The hotel's location is wonderful and truly adds to the authentic experience. The fact that it has been renovated with the original 18th century style in mind only adds to the charm of the place. The service at New Castle was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly polite and accommodating. We really appreciated their attentiveness throughout our stay. One of the things we particularly enjoyed was the fact that the hotel is only a 15-minute walk from the Spa, which made it very convenient for us to also enjoy the town restaurants, walks and attractions. Overall, we would highly recommend the New Castle hotel to anyone looking for a charming and authentic stay in a great location with top-notch service. It's definitely worth a visit!
