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.).

United KingdomTowels were rather thin and worn but otherwise all good.
Large characterful room in a very quiet residential location (about 20 minutes' walk from the centre). Comfortable bed, good shower, warm bread and pastries for breakfast.

PolandThere was no bathroom door nor even a simple curtain in our attic apartment separating the bathroom from the bedroom which is quite unpleasant when you are not staying alone in the apartment.
The apartment and the staff are very nice. There are clear check-in instructions sent via booking.com chat. Around 20 min walk from the historical city center. Very good breakfast.

MaltaNothing I didn't like.. just worth keeping in mind that because this is an old (lovely) house the stairs are not appropriate for those with mobility difficulties.. but maybe the house offers ground floor rooms for such instances?

United KingdomOverall the place needed a lick of paint (apart from the bathroom), though it was clean. Very steep and dark staircase to get to the rooms and no lift, which was difficult for carrying heavy cases.
Helpful staff, large room, great shower, very good breakfast and excellent value for money. Parking is difficult and expensive in Ghent, so it was really useful that they provide parking (pre-booking required) a short walk away for only 8 Euros per day.

BelgiumThe shared quarters were not so clean. Our breakfast was not ready when we came down. The young man overslept but he was very friendly and excused himself and afterwards produced a very nice breakfast.
The rooms were clean. The host was friendly. Breakfast was OK. We were not far from the centre of Ghent which is by the way a very beautiful city.

JapanThe breakfast was the same every day. Very nice quality and tasty, but for such a simple breakfast, it would have been nice to have a bit more variety.
The whole ethos, vibe and style of this place is wonderful! The staff are lovely and very friendly. The garden is a beautiful little oasis and the other guests get drawn into communicating in a real human and close up way, as everyone sits around one cosy breakfast table. A true gem and joy! :D

AustraliaMosquitos, breakfast is rationed by the staff member, 3 flights of narrow stairs, payment method only cash at property. Get a machine don't make us go to the central hostel if we are paying with card.
It's walkable but a good 20 minutes. We caught the tram mostly which is still a walk. We stayed at the 6 bedroom out of centre place. The room was great, roomy with nice bathroom.

The room was quite large, very well furnished but quite dark. This actually made it more quirky. The breakfast was lovely and the host was great. she was very helpful as i was wanting to make a phone call about missing luggage and she made the phone call for me herself. Having use of the kitchen outside of breakfast hours was very welcome as well. I would definately stay here again if i returned to Gent
