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.).

The location is nice, walking distance to Ecomare, a forest area and the beach. There were parking lots available. The center of the city and shops are not walking distance but can be easily reachable (10 min car) The flat was nice, well equipped and clean.

United KingdomThe reason we cannot give this the top score is that the hospitality feels a little mean. In advance you are told that only ONE set of single sheets will be provided, even though we had 4 beds in our apartment. We also had to reserve two sets of towels in advance. It seems mean at this price point to have to pay for such basics, this was one of the more expensive options on Booking.com. The set up assumes you arrive by car, we travelled by ferry and bike, so bringing sheets and towels is not practical. We expected there to be the same basic welcome pack that is provided by most apartments/AirBnB on arrival before we went to the shops What we got was 2 cloths, a washing up sponge, a tiny bottle of washing up liquid, 3 dishwashing tablets, a box of matches and a bin bag. When we arrived we had to chase the missing towels, pre-ordered but not there, make our beds with the 2 sets of requested bed linen!! - and then.... after all that ....we realised there was no soap, no tea/coffee or milk and although there is a coffee filter machine there were no paper filters. You can order bread rolls, but not coffee/butter/jam so we had to go out immediately and cycle to De Koog to get supplies. Fortunately we arrived at 16.00 so this was a hassle but ok, although of course some items like filters come in packets of 100 and liquid soap in a large plastic bottle... It just all felt mean spirited. Providing basic supplies like milk and tea and some handtowels and soap for the bathrooms are just nice hospitality touches that make you feel welcomed as a guest and help you meet basic hygiene requirements!
The location was quiet, near to the beach and the woods. The apartment was spacious and well furnished. This was an excellent base to explore the island by bike. The nearby towns had supermarkets so we could get food easily and we found a pizza restuarant round the corner which we enjoyed. We found the stay very restful

United StatesYou either have to bring your own sheets and towels or pay an additional fee to rent them, per person. Paper products, such as paper towels are also not provided. It would have been nice if a kitchen towel had been provided, but perhaps it would have been included in the per person towel fee if we had chosen to rent towels instead of bring our own.
The location was next to the bus stop which was convient, even though the bus only came through every hour. Because of this having bikes or a car is preferable for this location. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was quite functional. We were able to lock up our bikes nearby which was great.

NetherlandsThe SMART TV on the bedroom was great, but could’ve done with being in the living room. In the second bedroom, it should be easier to push the beds together.
The bath was awesome. The double bed was very comfortable. The SMART TV on the bedroom was great, but could’ve done with being in the living room. The living room was very nice, homely and welcoming. Kitchen well equip. Over all a great stay and would come back.

United KingdomAs there is no shop we would have liked somewhere on site to buy milk, bread, coffee, soap etc as absolutely nothing was provided. A cafe would also be a good idea. Toilet paper and soap should at least have been left adequate for 2 nights.

BelgiumBathrooms a little tired and consequently didn’t feel as clean as it could have. Having to supply own towels and strip beds etc made it feel lower end than the price would lead you to expect.

NetherlandsLoved it mostly, but I have 3 small improvements to suggest: dish detergent ( not the dishwasher one) could be included in the kitchen package, along with tea towels. Recycling: it would be very good if you added a plastic recycling container, only paper and glass available. Make it clear on the site that towels are extra cost or bring your own.
Location is beautiful right across from the National park and dunes where you can take lots of hikes, also 10 min walk from Ecomare and 1,5 km away from the beautiful beach. Good parking at the location, always finding a spot. The apartments are not very big but are fully and recently renovated, very tastefully too. Everything works as it should and is modern: good shower and bath in one bathroom makes it very handy when you have a toddler, extra shower and sink in one of the bedrooms if you have bigger kids. Kitchen is a little small, but ok for a week holiday. It has everything you need including combi oven and dishwasher. TV in livingroom and both bedrooms. Beds are very comfortable and new, but good to know they are single beds joined together. Enough cupboard space to store things. Nice balcony with terras furniture. Quiet all the time around the complex, good for afternoon rest. They rent bikes right there, if you want to bike to the beach. Marco was very nice and helpful, he came immediately when we had an issue with the TV channels. Good to know: bring your own towels, soap and kitchen supplies ( salt, pepper, dish detergent, tea towels). There is a small service package supplied for the kitchen, but could not be enough for more than 3-4 days. We spent a lovely week and want to come back next year! Thank you, Marco!

NetherlandsNot really.
The sauna is definitely the highlight of the trip. Me and my friends really enjoyed it. I saw other guests mentioned about the board above the bed, we did not have it in our room, so I guess it is room specific. Besides, the location of the property is great. It is a walk away from the beach, and the beautiful national park. I would definitely recommend the place to everyone.

NetherlandsNothing major, just observations: the bathroom could use some renovation. In comparison with the rest of the accommodation it's significantly outdated, while everything works nicely, it's just very well-used. Rented towels were quite thin, I would recommend bringing your own towels.
We liked the location, where you can have it all beach, woods, dunes, all at once. It's about 10-min bike ride to the small town with restaurants and supermarkets. You can rent bikes on the spot, also for kids and with child seats. The apartments were clean, well-equipped, quiet and spacious enough for three people to feel comfortable. We had a room with a balcony, apartment type 1, nice and cozy.
