How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Didn't like the cardboard cups for coffee in the room. I went out and bought a mug rather than use the paper cups in the room.
Location excellent. Have stayed in Ostend many times. Usually 4 times a year before Covid but in other accommodation. Room was everything I could ask for but appreciate my stay was out of season. Perhaps my requests may not be met in high season however would gladly return to the hotel.

Hotel parking expensive, and free parking about 20 min walk away, but very busy and took a while to find a spot (Not the hotel's fault)
Hotel is located in an excellent position being a min walk to the seafront and a 10 min walk to he main shopping area. A warm welcome was given and room was warm and clean. Breakfast was great with a choice of hot and cold dish's that were kept replenished

Breakfast waiters were not very pleasant. Breakfast had a good selection. However the bacon bits were a bit strange Street parking is a bit tricky, but there is underground parking nearby.
Great location,2 min walk to the sea front.Room was very spacious perfect for our family of 4. By the Reception area there is a small playing room which kept the kids busy for a long time. Thank you to the receptionist on duty on Friday night as he went above and beyond to help ,us really appreciate it

The Princess Hotel has been meeting our expectations since 1995, and this time managed to exceed them since it's refurbishment. The rooms are modern, spotless and feature a safe and ours had a walk-in shower which we prefer. 30 seconds walk to the seafront and a few minutes from the city centre where bars, cafes and shops abound. The breakfast was included and was excellent with a range of options; continental style or scrambled eggs and bacon, yogurt, even cheesecake or doughnuts if you so wish. There is also a pleasant bar area.

No airco. The door of the elevator was a bit noisy. The children's room on the ground floor could need some refreshment (some toy-materials didn't work no longer as they should).
Location of the hotel close to the beach, in a small street with little (one-way) traffic. The room offered enough space, was clean and quiet (second floor). Bathroom and toilet separated. Good bath (and shower). The small balcony was useful. The bed was nice. Breakfast was huge: great choice of everything (bread, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, fresh fruit, etc.). Last but not least, friendly staff, accurate and helpful. We stayed here with our grand-child for three nights and would stay here again.
