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...).

GermanyAll was fine
Easy parking as they have their own parking place. The restaurant is typical van der Valk and the food quality is good. All facilities for having drinks or food are there. The hotel is on the outskirt of Drachten but I didn't mind walking to town after a long drive from Germany.

United KingdomAS said above the wrong information
The visit was very good except for on the morning when leaving, I was told I needed to pay for breakfast on two days when the day before i had been told by reception it was in the package. The food, room, and facilities where excellent, All reception staff and restaurant staff were kind and polite, it was just the one young lad on receptions that gave me the wrong information that upset us.

Netherlandsthe bathroom arrangement is not ideal at all: the way the toilet sit is arranged facing the shower wall is so tight that an adult man has to get settled on it side ways: otherwise he can hit his head:)
it is very uniquely designed hotel. With well renovated anterior and very comfortable beds. despite its proximity to the regional road it is a silent place, when one can comfortably sleep with an open window.

IrelandMy fridge in my room didn't work and it was not fixed or replaced regardless of how many times I raised the issue with reception. Also there was no hot water one of the mornings and I feel we should have been told about it and given some information about how and when it would be fixed but nothing was said unless we enquired about it and I feel some sort of refund should have been offered due to the inconvenience but again nothing was mentioned.
Very clean and good food

United KingdomAte in the Hotel restaurant on our last night the food was good but the service although friendly was incredibly slow after waiting 15 minutes for someone to take our dessert order I had to go and find someone!
Hotel room was very spacious, beds comfortable, the bathroom large and the shower was amazing. Wide selection of cereals, meats, cheeses and pastries for breakfast. Hotel was ideally situated for our needs, we were attending the European Dodgeball Championships at the sports centre but is a fairly long walk to restaurants there is an Aldi about 10 - 15 minutes walk for supplies.

DenmarkThe room was cold when we arrived, so we turned up the radiator. Due to this there was a more stuffy smell after while. I don't know how to fix this, but it's good to know, I guess. Also, we couldn't open the transparent curtains to look out of the window or to enjoy the fresh air. That was a bit of a shame.
Last-minute booking went smoothly. Bathroom seems to be recently renovated - good water pressure. Staff very nice and professional. Restaurant was decent too.
