How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Verified reviewapart from location nothing was good
It was dark, no natural light. It was like we were living in a cave. No sound proofing.

Verified reviewExcellent location, 5 minutes walk from centre restaurants etc. Apartment 6 was warm, clean and very comfortable. Great hot shower and clean bathroom facilities. Comfortable bed, bedroom with some hanging space for clothes. Kitchen had enough equipment for straight forward cooking with everything clean and effective. Pleasant living room - able to access BBC on TV which was an unexpected bonus for us. Warm underfloor heating plus radiators which was welcome during a cold spell. Interesting design and décor. Able to arrange parking with host at a underground garage about 5 minutes walk away which was convenient, safe, easily accessible and at a reasonable cost, We were able to park the car outside the property long enough to unload. Supermarket which had all essentials was situated next to parking We would certainly stay there again if visiting Ghent again - thank you Greetje
Nothing - there were no issues at all.

Verified reviewBeautifully appointed apartment, spacious comfortable and with very high quality finish as well as a great location. Lots of good information and Greetje was a good communicator.
Parking was a little frustrating as we got told off for using the space we had paid for and told to do. So an irritation not a real issue.

Verified reviewWe chose to wander around and sample different breakfast offerings as we only had 2 nights in Gent. There were many good options in walking distance.
Cannot think of anything.

Verified reviewLocation could not have been better for my trip, as the castle and city center were my main priority during the brief stay. There was also a welcoming lounge/kitchenette stocked with local guides, tea, and other amenities, and was a great, cozy haven from which to plan my very packed itinerary in Ghent. Lastly, the host was warm, communicative and offered suggestions and help when I needed it.
I had no concerns during my trip.

There is an underground parking lot next to the apartment with enough space for a large car. And what is important, you will be met by pleasant people who are ready to help with any questions.

Verified reviewThe decor was gorgeous. A little eclectic in style which was warmly welcoming. Location was excellent, close to Gravensteen and we walked everywhere. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Rooftop terrace was stunning.
Can’t think of anything although perhaps breakfast would have been good to include.

Verified reviewVery nice, calm and safe location in Gent. Clean apartment and very quiet in general. Nice balcony, not much of a view but to a calm street. No ac, but since it was a calm area opening windows on both sides worked fine other than a few mosquito bites.
Wifi didnt reach balcony and no electricity there. Felt a bit weird not to see any staff around until my third and last day.
