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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

This BB experience was like staying with friends. Brigitte and Alain are extremely welcoming and always happy to help. The BB is small - just two rooms and we all had breakfast together. If you look for a family like stay go for it. The BB is situated approx 30 mins by bus (no need to change lines) from the city center and the bus stop is virtually in front of it.

A non slip shower tray mat would be a useful safety edition.
The warm welcome we received from Brigitte. Our room was clean & comfortable. The beds were very good. The ensuite shower room was well planned with plenty of hot water. It was good to be able to open the window & we had a fan as when we arrived ,it was hot & muggy.Brigitte supplied us with a local map & gave a couple of recommendations for an evening meal.The place we went to was the Spuitened Duvel, an old established auberge a street away. A friendly, traditional lively, popular establishment. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast & conversation with Brigitte who enlightened us about Flemish / Walloon culture & history.She treated us to a tour of her lovely, tranquil & enchanting garden.

The room is nice and well organised, perhaps a little small - we didn't have much space for our suitcase.
Brigitte was an extremely kind and welcoming host and it was lovely to get to know her a bit. We really appreciated being able to enjoy the garden for lunch. The location is lovely - in a quiet street with a lot of green areas, public transport and a delicious bakery right next door.

Everything was good, an improvement could be made by towels and pillows being updated - these would be nice a bit softer and larger.
Very friendly host and location is very convenient, feels safe, with a good choice of nearby restaurants that I found very good. The place is scrupulously clean and quiet. Communications from host were perfect.

Very cozy and comfortable room. Close the the Forest National venue as we were attending a concert. There was a small problem where breakfast wasn’t available but we were contacted about that in advance and reimbursed so no problem at all!

We were ok with the high stairs to our room, but for some people it may be a serious inconvenience.
We did not meet Alain, he was at work, but Brigitte was very attentive, she advised us on many things Brussels: how to go around, what museums are interesting, restaurants, places of interest and answered other questions tourists have. We were in friendly home, and it mattered.
