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...).

NetherlandsThe WIFI needs improvement. It was constantly going out and in. The coverage throughout the room was poor. The room was devoid of natural light. The room was too warm and I did not understand how to control the heaters and I had to leave my windows open to manage the temperature. The condition of the bike that I borrowed was poor and had no lights.
The location is really good next to the Heverlee station. Please bear in mind that there are 2 locations possible. The place is quite too. I got a free upgrade too to a double room. The place was clean and the toilet was nice. I got a bike on request.

FinlandCoffee makers didn't work well although they changed two times to me. Bicycles are not maintained and I had to do that myself. Normal rooms are usually in the south part of the building and are not light enough while deluxe room is perfect due to the natural light.
The location is perfect, it's close to the Heverlee train station and two bus stops. It's close enough to the city center, bakery, post office, and supermarket. It has a cleaning service every week. It has a bath tub, kitchenette with necessary stuff, mini bar, TV and enough desk and table. You can ask for a bicycle, which is a must in Leuven. Staff members are available by phone although there is no reception desk.

IndiaNo hot water - it was lukewarm at best. Also, Booking.com did not alert me while booking that a minimum of 4 nights was necessary. I only came to know when I wanted to modify my booking 4 days before moving in, when I had some plan changes and I couldn't modify it to my requirements.
Great location. Clean. Seamless check in and check out system. Quick response to any requests. Felt very safe.

NetherlandsDuring our stay the electricity went out for once and the alarm went on. Seems like no one noticed this because I was the person to inform the hotel and get instructions on how to put off the alarm and get the electricity back on. When I entered there was no key card plaed in my envelope but luckily the lady in charge of the cleaning was there and solved the issue. It would have been also better if there was a 24/7 reception available. The walls of the bathroom are not till the top in the room so the room became humid after a shower and also it was not nice to have the sounds and smells of the bathhroom/wc in the room.
The place is clean and the lady in charge of cleaning was very nice and friendly. It offers bikes which is very useful for the stay. It has a washer and a dryer in case you are staying long you can easily do your laundry. The staff reply to your messages and calls and try to solve any issues and problems.

BelgiumThere is a kitchenette but not a proper table to sit at for eating (apart from the working desk). Double room but only one desk chair provided. The windows were not soundproof so we were woken up at 5 AM by the Sunday market stalls next to the room. Booking notified us that free bikes were available but the owner refused to make any reservations for the bikes, even though my travel companion was 7 months pregnant. Apartments are clearly catered to business visitors rather than holiday guests.
Clean room, bathroom linen provided, as well as kitchen amenities. Twin beds were provided upon request. Handy location next to the Railway station of Heverlee, there's a cosy farmer's market on Sunday morning next to the venue.

ItalyThe cleaning lady came knocking at 8 a.m. on the day of check-out to find out when we would vacate the flat, despite the fact that check-out is scheduled until 11 a.m. An e-mail request in the days before would have been more appropriate.
The flat was in a good location to reach the centre of Leuven, only 5 minutes by bus (bus stop is right in front of the flat) or a 30 minutes walk. The room, especially the bathroom, was big and in general the room was quite well equipped (except for spoons, only one available). Very nice terrace. Value for money is excellent considering the season and prices in the area. On Sunday mornings there is a market right in front of the building, but the room was still extremely quiet.
