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.).

Good size room. Nice staff very friendly. Could hear the next room talking even though talking quietly it was like the walls were made from cardboard. It's not good if you want a good night's sleep. Shower very temperamental, water was worryingly going near bathroom door as though it was going to leak into the main room as walk in shower / toilet floor not properly measured.

I mean sure , the facilities could have been better but we didn't experience anything weird or dramatic like some other reviews! Just make sure you're 21 to check in :)
The hotel is overall very decent, especially if you're on a budget, it's close to the center ( about a 20 -25 min walk) ,the staff is friendly and it's generally pretty clean (towels and sheets changed 3 times on our 4 days stay) . They also let us leave our stuff past our check out time , which is a plus .

There was a bug in the room, probably from the backyard. So i did not feel like opening the windows even though the room needed fresh air.
The neighborhood was amazing. The property was accesible by foot and it felt really safe walking around.

At the reception, we were told that was forbidden to smoke in the room, but the room was stinking of cigarettes so bad that was nearly impossible to stay inside. The shower is very old and was very hard to make it work.
check in and check out.

Floor was quite dirty, the basement area smelt like cigarettes (there is a large penalty for smoking in this hotel so I’m not sure why it reeked of cigarettes).
Location was amazing. We got the basement room which was quite spacious, especially for Amsterdam. Coffee machine for free coffee which is always a plus. Late check in and early check out easily accommodated.

It was one of the cheapest accommodations with a private room I could find. Definitely worthy it.

The room had not been fully serviced correctly before our arrival after check in time so had to ask them to come back, clean it and put in toilet roll. people smoked outside our window when we were on the ground floor and talked throughout the night. The front door slams when people come in it which again you can hear on the ground floor rooms. The main bedroom door was not sealed correctly and allowed light to shine in. The basin was slightly blocked and water did not drain away correctly, the hot water for the shower took a long time to come through in the mornings and was only warm. The mirror on the wall is mounted only for very tall people if your under 5ft 8 you won't see yourself at all.
Easy to find, close to the city and the staff very friendly. Quick to clean up mistakes. Memory foam bed very comfortable. This place is reasonably priced for being close to the centre and does have a lidl opposite for amenities as well as a lovely market 4 minutes walking distance.
