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...).

Very interesting boutique hotel that was once a school. I was entranced by the incredibly high ceilings and enjoyed how the space has been decorated as an hotel. The staff were very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.

United KingdomSignage for rooms. I walked the very long way round when another alternative was available just not sign posted well.
Rooms were amazing. Made me want to come home and renovate my loft to match it! Breakfast was lovely. Chef happy to cook extra to what was laid out if needed, everything was fresh. Bar is warm and welcoming, and all staff can’t do enough for you. Bed was very comfy, so much so I think I lay like a corpse with other side of bed not even messed up!

United States of Americaonly wish we could have experienced the restaurant before they closed it! The library/comfort room needs some sprucing up..it is a little tired. Better lighting with vanity mirror in the guest room.
We loved this quirky gem of a boutique hotel. The decor is fun and also elegant- our room was Asian-themed (others are in various themes). Very comfortable accommodations, excellent and plentiful breakfast with some cooked to order eggs, etc. The staff was always willing to help and gave us many recommendations for this lovely city of Haarlem- which was in was crazy times with World Cup week and all locals involved! Easy walk to the train station. We absolutely want to return to Haarlem and Boutique Hotel Staats!

United KingdomHaving stayed in other places at half the price this was not value for money. Instant coffee in the bedroom was a disappointment. Most places have a Nespresso machine as standard in the bedroom. Advertised Table tennis table was not really a table tennis table but 4 office tables joined together and not available to use during the day as the tables were set up for meetings. Breakfast was ok but not really value for money.
The room was big and airy. Tastefully decorated. Bed was big and comfy. Breakfast timings were good.

United States of AmericaThis wasn't a problem, but there were a couple of flights of stairs to our rooms.
It's a lovely kind of quirky and unique hotel. Every room seems to be decorated individually which is fun to see. The food in the restaurant was delicious and interesting. The breakfast itself was wonderful. The staff were very helpful with our luggage and gave us good guidance with getting around.

United KingdomThe restaurant is only open part of the week (not open Friday through to Sunday when we stayed) so on those days there’s no breakfast, although there is a lounge where you can find coffee and an honesty bar (which had bottles of champagne in it!). There claimed to be cake available in the lounge, but the reality was a sorry jar of biscuits and what looked like cubes of fudge. There were also apples. The hotel is decorated in dark colours like a night club and the lighting is really dingy throughout. It has steep dark narrow-tread stairs, so anyone with even slight visual impairment may have problems. We were on the top floor which was difficult with luggage and no lift, so anyone with mobility issues would have a big problem and would be advised to ask for a ground floor room. The room was extremely dimly lit with fashionable industrial style lighting that served no practical purpose whatsoever. The bathroom light was useless for make up. In our top floor room, within the loft space, there were low beams at one end that you had to dodge whilst walking around the bed.
The Boutiquehotel Staats was handy for the railway station and situated on a quiet residential street. We had good communication from the hotel. On arrival day, we were contacted by the hotel to check if we were going to arrive before 11pm as reception closes then, although you can get in and out at any time once you have your key card. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly receptionist who issued us with tourist maps and advice about the area. The room was on the top floor and was large, with a good sized power shower. Large bottles of toiletries were provided in the bathroom which appeared to be clean but the room was so dimly lit, it was hard to know (see below). Storage was adequate - no wardrobe but an open rail and some open shelving alongside a desk. There was a kettle with basic tea making facilities and a fridge with 2 bottles of water in it. However there was a lounge on the ground floor where you could make tea and coffee, with complimentary biscuits and apples. The industrial theme continued with the decor with the walls covered in blocks of dark wood. There were adequate sockets and charging points by the bed which were in a strange cube dangling out of the wall - another design “thing”?

GermanyWe checked the offered breakfast first thing in the morning and then decided not to have it at the hotel. It will surely meet the standards every other restaurant has to offer and ist the same in price, but it just wasn´t for us so we got breakfast at another place.
We stayed for two nights and the location was perfect. The walking distance both to the main station (to take the train to the beach or Amsterdam), where the parking garage ist located, as well as to the city centre are very short. A huge bonus: the hotel is in a very very quiet street, so the nights were highly relaxing.

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike.
This is a fabulously unique hotel with extremely friendly, helpful and caring staff. The rooms are very comfortable and well furnished with a nice amount of style. There is also a coffee and games area for guests to use which is very relaxing. Breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is the little extra touches that really make the stay a good experience, which I appreciate each time I stay.

United KingdomExcellent location, a short distance from both town centre and rail station. A great room in a sympathetically redeveloped building with a stunning interior. Professional and welcoming staff who enhanced our stay considerably. Excellent breakfast -- if we had stayed longer we would almost certainly have tried to book dinner: the restaurant looked very inviting! An all-round great property we will book again when in Haarlem.
