Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! We hope to come back soon.
This was our first visit to Amsterdam and A B&B was an exceptional find! Our experience of the city was made all the more special staying in a such a vibrant area. We got a real feel of Amsterdam staying in a traditional house by the canal and we loved the buzz of the restaurants and cafes from the street below. The large bay window meant that we never missed a moment of what Amsterdam has to offer. The host was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. He greeted us with a welcoming smile and gave us lots of great information to help make the most of our stay. If we ever return to Amsterdam we would only want to stay here!

PolandWhenever someone was walking up or down the stairs you could hear it from inside the room.
Great location, close and walking distance to most attractions and places we wanted to visit and the view on the canal was great too. Host was very helping us navigate and provided suggestions for places to go.

United StatesA microwave would have been nice and somone else mentioned comfy chairs at the bay window. The canal view is gorgeous and would have been nice to have 2 small but comfortable chairs to have a drink in your room but there are nice places to sit at the restaurants right down on the street.
Willheim was very accommodating. It was quite warm while we were there and he got a fan, made sure it was cleaned really well and delivered it to our room. He also gave us a little baggie of laundry detergent when I enquired where there was a laundromat. Willheim was readily available to answer questions as well. A Lovely stay. The 2 cats were adorable but just know you are living in their house and they will visit. But you could put them out. I loved having Max around occasionally.

United StatesRoom was small but pleasant. The bathroom was very small with a tiny tiny sink. Stairway narrow and steep which was OK for us but would be a challenge for some people.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the location is excellent. We walked everywhere we needed to go. The room has large windows with a very nice view of the canal.

United StatesWe enjoyed everything about our stay. Some people complain about the stairs, and they are steep. But my husband and I were able to get our 100 pounds of luggage up there with little difficulty, and Willem assisted. I think it added to the charm of our stay.
During our time in Amsterdam, my husband and I were overwhelmed by the kindness of the people, which began with our stay at a B&B. Willem greeted us as soon as we got out of our cab and assisted us with our luggage up the very steep winding stairs to the third floor. He showed us how to do it as easily as possible and it helped a lot! We had the upper room bedroom, and our bathroom was up another flight of stairs. Both rooms were comfortable, spacious, and light-filled. Climbing the stairs in the middle of the night was not ideal, but it added to the charm of our stay. We enjoyed sitting in the little bedroom nook overlooking the canal. Willem and his friends often sit in front of the house in the evenings with some wine and cheese. They graciously invited us to join in their conversation. It was wonderful to meet many of his neighbors and friends. The neighborhood is a bit removed from some of the main tourist areas, but also has several fantastic restaurants within a short walk, and the entire city is very walkable. I suggest renting a bike from Black Bikes around the corner. But be careful, biking is serious business in Amsterdam.

AustraliaThe shower was quite open which was a bit difficult to keep water from entering the rest of the bathroom, but not a big deal at all. Stairs are a steep but that’s very normal for Amsterdam I assume.
Absolutely loved staying in Willem’s place in Amsterdam. Beautiful location, gorgeous view of the canal and so close to amazing restaurants and transport. Willem’s cats, Max and Puck are so lovely too, nice to have a little pet during our stay.

Light and airy room with great view of Princesengracht Canal. Very close to several Cafes and good restaurants. Tram into centre only 100m away. Central enough to walk to many attractions. Cats an added bonus.

Everything! The comfort and coziness of the room, it was in a great spot for all the tours we wanted to do. The location could not be better for wat we needed: in the centre, in front of a canal and still quiet during the night. William, the host, was brilliant, he was always checking if we needed anything and that everything was going perfect. Thanks for making our stay memorable!

AlbaniaVery lovely apartment with all amenities you need. Perfect for couples, romantic views over the canal. The bathroom has an unique design. People who like to take long relaxative baths will enjoy it. Willem the host is very helpful and detailed oriented guy. You will feel like home. The center is 20 minutes walk, but you can take the tram if you wish, which is 1 minutes walk from the apartment. The neighborhood has a lot of restaurants and bars. Bloemenmarkt is 5 minutes away.

United StatesThat I can't take Max with me
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Williem, who is very pleasant to talk to. If you’re a cat person like me, don’t miss out on this place. Max is such a sweetheart, always greeting me at the door and rubbing on me for attention. Puck is a shy tortie girl, but she let me pet her. If you visit, please be kind to the cats as they truly make this place special. The stairs are quite steep, not a flaw, but part of what gives this historic building (built in 1692!) so much personality. Just something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues.

GreeceIt takes some small interventions in the apartment to make it more comfortable. The 2 wooden doors have holes and need repair and painting. The wall behind the clothes hanger has a lot of marks and needs repainting. Sleeping pillows definitely need replacement.
Beautiful, small, picturesque apartment in a central location, next to tram stop 4. It overlooks the Prinsengrach Canal. Around the apartment there is a bar cafe and a supermarket. It's not a hotel. It has the basics for a short day stay. It does not have daily cleaning.
