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 bed was really caved in but it was a nice king size bed.
The staff was lovely. The room was much nicer than I'd imagined and the bathroom had us all going "wow" it was huge with a fantastic sunken tub.

Some different beer in the mini-bar, please. Something like St Bernardus, Orval, Duvel. Disappointed to not have a space in the car park.
Room was lovely, up in the eaves. Very large, with great facilities My wife was delighted to find a half bottle of her favourite champagne in the mini-bar

- • Standard Double or Twin Room

The breakfast is a bit plain for 12 euro pp, but I guess that's normal for Belgium/Ghent. Also there was some minor "wear in tear" on the items in the room.
Amazing room (lux suite) with an "old Flemish house" flair - high ceiling supported by century-old wooden beams, very airy and light (windows to two sides). Staff was very helpful and responsive, confirmed early check-in immediately, went forward to offer us a secure parking for the motorcycle in the courtyard, upgraded our room for free, and in general was very pleasant to communicate with.

No real negatives. Stair carpets needed a vacuum and aircon would have been nice in the room.
A lovely big room with a super comfortable bed. The breakfast was fine and the staff friendly. Pleased there was free water in the room. These days that's rare.

Excellent place to stay in Gent - location close to city center, helpful and kind staff and the option to have drinks on ground floor is definitely helpful on rainy days 🎂 The only problem was with extremely steep stairs leading to our room (especially when it comes to carrying 🧳) Overall highly recommended!

We were on second floor, up a very steep, narrow wooden staircase. Coming down in motorbike gear/boots with all luggage- not for the fainthearted!
Central location. Short walk into town. Lovely big room and bathroom with a deep bath. Great after a long motorbike ride.

The room was super tiny in their annex, sink also very small, difficult to wash face...window faced a brick wall so felt somewhat claustrophobic, could not see the outdoors.Price was high given the size of the room.
Location was good, staff was friendly and helpful.

Being allocated a room at the top of very steep stairs (no lift). We happened to have heavy suitcases and are of retirement age, so lugging them up to the room was no joke.
The room was excellent in almost every respect. The size and facilities of both bedroom and bathroom was most comfortable, The staff were most helpful and friendly.

A quiet historic neighborhood close to shopping and to a tram line to the train station A comfortable room

a weird smell used to come from the bathroom, this I believe is due to nature of the building, or might be old plumbing or might be being beside a river. Heating in the main room was very terrible and old and took ages to heat up the room. bit more on the price per night, also could do by giving more free water bottle or tea/coffee pods.
Very friendly staff. location was perfect and very close to the main city and attractions. close to tram stop and many restaurants, cafes and pubs.
