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.).

PortugalThe location is ideal. In the center of things yet quiet enough for us. For such an old, historical building, the room was quite nice. Air conditioning was much appreciated in the heat wave we experienced. As expected in a building of this time, the stairs are steep & narrow. We recommend the 1st floor for fewer stairs and still a fabulous view.

United KingdomSlight panic when there was no answer on either phone number when we arrived around half an hour late at 8pm. (Was just a slightly nerve wracking 10 minute wait for the door to be opened). The WiFi didn’t work for us in the first floor room, but phone signal was good enough to watch iplayer etc.
The location is exceptional. Heart of the old town with great views and atmosphere. Easy to pop back for sun lotion, to fill water or for facilities. Super breakfast by the river. Comfortable bed.

We loved the view from our room, every historical sight. Cute and cozy, although it was up a very steep set of steps. The breakfast was wonderful served on the beautiful terrace on the canal. The owner was wonderful.

United StatesNothing, it was all perfect really.
Our stay at Rooms With A View was fantastic. Everything exceeded our expectations. The view is stunning and the location is unparalleled right in the center of the old city. The room is very comfortable. The staff and owner go above and beyond, always smiling and with kind attentions. And the breakfast! It was just exceptional, for the large selection of fresh products, the service and the quiet setting near the water. We will for sure stay again next time we are in Ghent. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay.

The rooms were perfectly furnished and equipped with everything needed. Breakfast was a delight each day, with top quality and delicious food choices, all seated next to the river Leie, with outstanding views of the old city.

United KingdomThe host, the room and the breakfast were all excellent, nothing could be faulted. The location is very central, overlooking the river, and standing on the balcony places an obligation on you to wave back at the other tourists on passing boats! Some noise at nights from the busy riverside bar on the opposite bank, but not excessive and only to be expected if you choose such a central location. Easily remedied by closing the windows.

United KingdomPersonally, neither of these bothered us, but some may find the large number of people sitting and talking by the water late into the night and the early morning on fine / warm days a bit noisy. Also the stairs up to the rooms are fine for the sure footed, but could be harder for those with mobility or balance weaknesses.
The 270 degree views from the double aspect rooms are sensational - wonderful to just perch by the window on a long June evening and watch as the light gradually fades and the lights come on. Breakfast was also fabulous with a range of granola/fruit/cheese/ham/ smoked salmon/croissants/breads/fruit/eggs that made lunch redundant. Service was excellent too. There are only 3 rooms, all with the same views, but rooms 1 and 2 have more windows.

United StatesThe only possible issue for some will be the stairs to the room. They are steep and winding. It would not work if travelers have any mobility issues. That said, staff carried our bags up to the room as we arrived early and the room was not yet available. So we didn’t have to navigate the stairs up with our bags.
The breakfast was delicious and everything was extremely fresh. We had to leave before the breakfast hour and they served us a half hour early. The strawberries were so sweet! The room was so lovely and the view of the canals in two directions was absolutely amazing. The owner and the staff could not have been nicer.

United StatesThere are very nice shutters on the windows but still a little street noise - (I actually like falling asleep to background noise but not everyone does!). The access stairs to the unit are fine, but steep, and not for everyone - we’re fit and could handle them, but people with accessibility issues or babies, etc, might want to consider this before staying there!
Wonderful location right in the heart of Ghent, along the river. Bie was a great hostess, helping with luggage, wine, breakfast, and taxi arrangements!
