How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room was very cold when I arrived but there was heating to turn on so it was quickly cosy. We had to ring for the owner to turn up to let us in so there was a short wait.
Very comfortable bed, very clean, big shower. Lovely breakfast.

We were on the top floor, so we had to take our luggage upstairs. The bed was not a double, but two singles joined together, but that is common, especially in Europe. These were minor things and are intended as feedback only as they did not really bother us.
The breakfast was very good and included scrambled eggs cooked to order. The hosts' english was great, which made communication easy. The location was great being only a short walk to the town centre and about 150m from the train station. It was quiet for sleeping. Best of all, though, was the service and hospitality of the staff. They were knowledgeable and generous and could not do enough to help us. 10 out of 10 service.

Great stop over to see Ieper (~7 mins walk from market square). We arrived quite late and Chris the owner was in constant contact and there when we arrived - very helpful and even offered to drive us into town. Basic rooms but met our needs. Breakfast included although we left too early but were able to take a few things from the kitchen to keep us going back to Callais

I travelled by motorbike and the only place to park was a bay that required buying a ticket every two hours. Nervously I took the risk of not paying to park and thankfully did not get a ticket.
The room decor is modern, smart and very tastefully done. The bathroom was also very stylish. 10 minutes on foot to the centre of Ypres A lovely breakfast and the hos was friendly and I was able to check-in early

Perfect. Nice quiet little hotel in a quiet part of town but not too far from all the sights in the centre (took me about 10 minutes to walk to the market square). Lovely staff, lovely room, nice breakfast and all in all good value.
