Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United States of AmericaEverything good. The guy at the bike rental place knew more about the hotel than the staff; he says Elizabeth Taylor and Muhammad Ali stayed there.
Location was great. Lot of restaurants. Bike rental place a block away.

NetherlandsThe balcony was not very clean, spiderwebs everywhere. We also paid extra for late check-out at 3pm but got disturbed twice because apparently not all staff was updated about this. In the end we paid quite a lot for what we got.
The location is great and the superior room with balcony and lake view was very nice and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great and included everything one could need. The pool and sauna area were very nice too, and we had it all to ourselves.

United KingdomNot that it totally affected our stay, but there were refurbishments going on that we were not told about when booking. The Air conditioning did not work in our room we told reception on two occasions, on the second occasion, the night manager just responded by saying," it's what it is " not a very positive response I would say. I have stayed on other occasions and I would say the hotel interior is looking very dated , let's hope the refurbishment brings it up to date. I would just add finally that the ambience in the hotel was poor, but this may have been due to the refurbishments that were on going.
Location is great and local restaurants and bars great

BelgiumThis period the building from the sea side is under construction, they renovate several areas in the building. It can be a bit noisy, but it was not a real issue for us. Renovations should take place for a better service and facilities :) Apart from that, i would appreciate if the rooms were cleaned better.
Well located, in the heart of Volendam. Recently the parking price changed to 25€ but the information we got when we initially booked the room was 15€. Very kind from his side, the manager settled it down for us.

NetherlandsNothing.
The Hotel Spaander is a place to fall in love with. The artpieces skattered on the walls of the old hotel tell the history of this place but also the history of Volendam. The people are very friendly. The views on the IJsselmeer are superb. What can I tell more: I certainly come back and bring my wife next time. Thank you.

United KingdomThe hotel staff were a bit ambivalent - not a very personal experience. It was disappointing that our room could have been cleaner - for example, there was an ash tray full of cigarette butts on our terrace. Please also be aware that you will have to book in advance if you want to eat in the hotel's restaurant.
An excellent location right in the heart of Volendam. An amazing building, steeped in history, full of art and lovely Dutch furniture. Good, light breakfast room and excellent breakfast.

United KingdomNo bin in the bathroom! No towel rails in the bathroom! Stairs to the top deck were narrow as expected so suggest anyone who is significantly overweight or who has mobility issues thinks twice before booking.
We had a lovely room with a king sized bed upstairs and a sofa bed for our child downstairs which gave us some privacy. The bathroom was clean and we had a balcony with a wonderful view of the lake. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the swimming pool was spotless. The artwork was incredible!
