Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomBe aware there is a low entrance to the bedroom which caught us out a few times! The bathroom is between the living space and bedroom so not very private. This was fine for us may be a problem for others. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great Not many places to eat after 8pm
This quirky property is in an historic location showing how Dutch industrial life once was on the river Zan. Modern furnishings with a very comfortable large bed and bedding The views from the bedroom were amazing. Sharon is an excellent host, and delivered us a fantastic breakfast each morning. She is very knowledgeable and gave us good advice on nearby places to visit on our bicycles. Walking distance to the train station then only a short journey into Amsterdam, about 15/20mins.

IsraelNot a problem but you need to be prepared: 1. As can be expected, there are some mosquitos near the river. We prepared in advance with a rolle-on repellent so they didn't bother us. 2. It is an ancient house. Beautiful, charming, full of atmosphere. Expect some creeks and cracks - it is part of the experience😉
This is a great place for a romantic stay. Tourists from all over the world come every day to visit this village/live museum for a few hours, and you get to live in it! Amazing. And peaceful. It us not noisy even during the day, and very quiet in the evening. Old wooden house. We had a big airy room with large windows. You get the sunrise over a green field on one side, and the sunset over the Zaans river on the other, just a few meters from the windows. Sharon is a very nice and easygoing host. She tespobded quickly to our watsups even on Sunday, and serves a very large breakfast. There are several restaurants and coffee shops nearby, and a SPAR supermarket. The train station is about 12-15 minuts easy walk away, where you can take the Sprintet train into Amsterdam (or stop at Zaandam). You can also take the 391 bus from the meauseum. This mat nit be for younge people seeking an urban stay, but for a couple like us it was perfect. Ditting in the garden wuth a bottle of wine just looking at the sunset colors over the river...Loved it!

Everything is perfect. clean and comfortable room with everything you may need. Comfortable bed, clean towels, coffee maker, and electric kettle for tea and hot drinks. The view is amazing and very close to windmills. Free parking was also very good, especially with my old parents but you can also go by train to central Amsterdam in 20 min. Sharon is a super host. She was very welcoming and helpful all the time. She made our vacation more enjoyable, and she did all her best to make us happy . She was very generous, and Bibi was very helpful. The breakfast was very good in taste and variety with eggs, cold cuts, yogurt, juice, and bakery. I highly recommend it for a relaxing family vacation

It was an amazing experience staying in this property! The area itself was like an open museum. The house we stayed had a wonderfully historical vibe and Sharon, the owner had been really friendly and helpful the whole time! As far as the breakfast is concerned, it was more than two people can eat!

FinlandIt's basically an open-air museum, so there are many tourist groups that stop by the house during daytime.
Lovely host and really nice location by the canal. The house itself is a nice experience, and it's great how they turned it into a hotel while still keeping the original look&feel from the 17th century.
