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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Hong KongThe stairs within the property are rather steep and have small steps, making them a bit of a challenge for those with larger feet. I found that walking backwards down the stairs made them more manageable and more comfortable. Taking large luggage up the stairs is slightly challenging, particularly to the top floor room. In fact, the top floor stairs are incredibly steep with itsy, bitsy steps. Fun to see and try, a bit sketchy at night, not something recommended for those with walking or mobility issues. Safe? You have decide on this one. I thought it was fine for myself but would understand if others didn't view it to be. There is no laundry machine at this apartment. This was a problem for us as the laundry mat recommended by Huswell was nearly 15 minute walk from the property. Do your research to find a nearer option if you are concerned about having your clothing cleaned during your stay. Note: Huswell ask for a large Security Deposit for this property. This was mentioned on Booking.com T&C at the time of booking. However, what they didn't mention until after we had made reservation is that they would charge €25 to refund your security deposit. Yikes! Would be best if they would inform interested guests of this charge within the T&C beforehand. Even worse was the refund time, which was supposed to be 10-15 working days after our stay. I had to email and ask 4 weeks afterwards and we didn't receive our security deposit, minus €25 charge for nearly 6 weeks. That really shouldn't happen and is something Huswell needs to do ensure they handle in a more timely manner for future guests of this apartment.
Overall, our experience was good. This is a charming apartment that is beautifully decorated, comfortable and located in a nice, quiet street that is still fairly close to major sightseeing in the Historic Centre of Bruges. Check-in is pretty late at 5pm and check-out is earlier than we would have liked at 10am. No front desk to store your luggage which can effect your travel plans to and out of Bruges because of luggage. Kitchen was stocked well with cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates and cutlery allowing us to cook a few meals during our stay. We have an very good butcher shop (Hof Maertens) and bakery (Patisserie Schaeverbeke) just down the street near Church of St Magdalene worth recommending for anyone playing to stay at this property for a longer stay. Bedrooms were nice, included sufficient space, lighting and comfortable beds. 1/F bathroom was spacious, G/F and 2/F bathroom units fit for purpose and sufficient for space needed.

This is the most charming house! The hosts offer useful advise. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms, great WiFi and great water pressure. I would definitely recommend it for small families or 2 couples.

AustriaAfter booking i received tons of notifications to buy for towels and bed sheets (which were already in the booked package), for insurance (for damages - in fact there are already several damages present - i made photos of), for early checkin and late checkout (whereas checkin started at 17:00 and checkout ended 10:00). A few minutes after 10:00 doorcode was already invalid. Over and over i was invited to read "important" stuff. I preferred to enjoy Bruges - an exceptional great place. The kitchen was not clean but for the rest ok. The living room furniture was old and not cozy. The courtyard may be fine for smokers but does not invite for a stay. The price is far too high for the service provided.
Location, bed and pillows were top. Kitchen was functional and ok.

United StatesThe smell of sewer gasses from the down stairs bathroom was overwhelming. We had to leave the back door, front door window and all the windows open to vent the smell. And it was very cold out. The unit has a major plumbing/sewer gas problem which needs to be fixed. The place isn't rentable until the sewer gas problem is fixed. When we entered unit for the first time, the sewer gases where un-bearable. Surprised no-one vomited. We spent 3 hours the first night looking for another place to stay but couldn't find a replacement place due to heavy holiday traffic. We were actually contemplating leaving Bruges and going to Ghent the second day because we found a place to stay in Ghent. But instead we just slept with back door and front window in front door and all windows open. IN THE WINTER! WE SHOULD GET A PARTIAL REFUND!!!!!!

TurkeyThe house we bought to sit in front of the fireplace because we couldn't go out after the child was asleep was a complete disappointment! Because the use of fireplaces is prohibited. Not working! ! Check-in time to the house was 3pm. We checked in only 40 minutes early and the house was freezing cold. When we explained that the house was cold, the owner stated that we did not provide early entry information. Pardon? So much discourse for just 40 minutes? Were the cleaning staff who didn't arrive until 2:20 come and heat the house in the last 40 minutes? He also said, "We saw from the system that you set the house to 24 degrees." We immediately set the house to 24 degrees. The house got warm. However, when we returned home in the evening, the owner intervened in the remote heating and reduced it to 20 degrees. I wrote to him. He said he didn't intervene, but he definitely did. It's really strange that they charge so much money and only think about the cost of heating!
First of all, the house is exactly the same as in the photo. The location is nice.

United Statestheir site said an earlier check in would be possible if the accommodations were available earlier. on our earlier than expected arrival I did try to see if an early check in was possible. it was. for a price. the sooner you wanted to check in, the higher the price. this was absolutely not expected. we were tired from our trip so I did go ahead and pay this unexpected cost. I felt this was a bait and switch tactic. there was no mention anywhere in their site that you could check in early for an unexpected fee only, if it “was available”. I contacted the site and stated this was not mentioned on their online booking site and felt I was misled and asked for a reimbursement. I have waited to write a review in expectation of this reimbursement which sadly never came. so yes. the place is nice they could have left instruction as to how to use the available appliances which would have been easier for us. but the bait and switch with no explanation or answer to my request for reimbursement has left me feeling I need to warn the next chump of this policy
we loved Bruges. Who wouldn’t? the accommodations were nice, and a good location. the interior stairs are steep so keep this in mind when considering for someone who may have difficulty with this as the bedrooms are upstairs. the downstairs has a half bath which helps.

United KingdomNot a problem for us but there is no microwave or freezer. The inner courtyard is tiny and not at all somewhere you would want to sit but nice to be able to open the back door and let some air in. As mentioned previously the stairs are incredibly steep so we only went up and down once a day! They creak too so you all need to retire at the same time if any of you are light sleepers..
Location was superb, the beds were amazingly comfortable and the property is perfect for two couples. Loo under the stairs on the ground floor is a great facility. Bath in the first floor bathroom is stunning and the water pressure in both bathrooms is fantastic with lashings of hot water. We really enjoyed relaxing indoors with Belgian beer, wine and nibbles after a hard day’s sightseeing. Third time in Bruges and managed to find a whole host of new things to experience. Second visit to the City we discovered the Christophe Bistro and were thrilled to discover it was just around the corner! Well worth a visit…

United KingdomUnfortunately there is a minor drainage problem. The owner made suggestions of things to help but didn’t make any difference. I understand the drainage systems are old and smells can be common in such cities but we have stayed in apartments all over Bruges at the same time of year and never encountered this problem so it’s a shame the owner hasn’t found a solution. Property had been cleaned but a build up of dust on vents, radiators, light covers were not so desirable. Felt like the service used creates a bit of anonymity which perhaps doesn’t make the best service for visitors.
Nice building and the kitchen had good facilities. Plenty of space. Not far to walk to any sights etc. Owners answered promptly and fairly. Good value property. soft quality bedding. Plenty of supplies such as coffee, toiletries and towels provided.

The sewerage is not smelling that bad that It is saying in the comments, you feel it just a little when are rainy days otherwise It’s no smells.
The position, the furniture, the kitchen (we’ve made our own breakfast every morning, you have all the tools necessary), the rituals little shower gel provided by the guesthouse, the cleaning.
