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...).

South AfricaThe perfect spot for a couple in Amsterdam. The location is perfect and so close to everything. The view from the room is amazing and while small - it has everything you need. The hosts were lovely and so easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again in future.

United KingdomMany stairs but so worth it for the view and expected for Dutch style homes. We’re fit so it wasn’t an issue to be honest.
Location and view are unreal Some nice pieces of art hung up on the wall Stunning little “garden” at the front of the property Canalside Very quiet but you still hear the sounds of the city.

United KingdomAs always for short stays, it really would be useful if accommodation could provide some milk sachets to go with the tea and coffee. I can understand why it was sealed-up (the railing was a bit low it's quite a long drop) but it was a pity that the main door onto the Juliette balcony could not be opened. It's hair-raisingly expensive but that's Amsterdam for you these days and you could probably say the same for London, New York and Paris.
Superbly located on one of Amsterdam's grandest canals only a few minutes walk with your bags from Centraal Station, this comfortable, spotlessly clean and very nicely refurbished property not only has lovely views out onto the canal but is quietly located within three to 30 minutes of very pleasant walking to everything you might want to see in the city. However, if you must, a number of tram routes run conveniently along a nearby street. Although the apartment itself is on a quiet and relaxing stretch of Singel, there are dozens of busy cafes, restaurants and bars in the cluster of attractive streets in the immediate area. Basically, it's perfect for a few days stay and the host is friendly and helpful. Sure, as others have commented, it's at the top of a narrow and steep flight of stairs but if that's a problem for you then I'm afraid it rules out pretty much every canal-side property in the centre of the city and a large percentage of others besides. I would happily stay here again.

GermanyIf you are looking for constructive feedback, in my opinion the communal stairwell would benefit from a refresh as first impressions count. I would have liked a full length mirror somewhere in the room and perhaps a small dressing table/desk area perhaps in the space between the French doors and the head of the bed instead of the side tables. Also, did not see any emergency evacuation procedure (something spotted by me friend, who works in H&S) but perhaps missed this as we only stayed one night... otherwise the premises did have the WOW factor for us and the host was truly amazing.
The owner greeted us and was super friendly and extremely helpful. The property was exceptionally clean with a light and airy ambience and although small in size, perfect for what we required. Bed was super comfy with really soft bedding, had a fab night's sleep and I could have stayed in the shower for hours with the large rainwater shower head. When we woke up, we made a coffee, opened the curtains and watched the world go by through the large window. The location was equally amazing, close to train station therefore very easy access from the airport into the centre of Amsterdam with all amenities almost on the doorstep of the property. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the property more... :-)

The suite was absolutely perfect for our stay in Amsterdam. Everything we wanted was no more than a 10 minute walk away. The facilities were great especially having a plug next to the mirror and the lighting in the bathroom was amazing for getting ready. The bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept in!! To top it all off the host was so lovely and even put balloons in the room as they knew we were there celebrating a birthday. Definitely recommend and hope to be back there again some time soon.

New ZealandWe had two big suitcases with us and there wasn't much room to put them anywhere. Rooms are small in Amsterdam so space is always tricky so I'm not sure how to manage this! We only stayed overnight so not so much of a problem but if for longer it would be hard to manage. The stairs (as mentioned in other reviews - so not a surprise) are not for the faint hearted we are fit and strong but I wouldn't recommend if you have big suitcases and are not able bodied.
Location was perfect had a gorgous view over a canal and was quiet but a street away from all the action. Felt very safe and secure. Communication from Roos was prompt and great.
