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 StatesA wonderful stay! Tobias was a very helpful host. We had all of the amenities needed to feel right at home, plus a lovely view of the canal from the top floor apartment. The location is perfect - everything within walking distance but on a quieter street for a very peaceful stay.

RussiaOld house = authentic and really sweet, but narrow stairs (3d floor on foot) and no air condition (but there was a fan). We were ready for that.
Very nice hosts! A lot of cats - we were waiting to meet them all, cat lovers =) Perfect view. A lot of space. Very good equipped. Perfect location - in the center, but not noisy.

BulgariaA bit pricy
This is the top floor of a typical beautiful old Dutch house in the historic center of Amsterdam. It’s been beautifully renovated and furnished. The steep stairs, old wooden window frames, and wooden surfaces throughout the interior are a charming part of the place’s authenticity. Gorgeous lite from every directions. Amazing view to the channel. Great communication with friendly hosts. For us, the adorable cats lounging in the window on the ground floor were an added bonus. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The location was amazing, very central and by the canal. We even got to meet their gorgeous 7 cats, which was a bonus.

AustraliaLocation was key. Great area and could walk easily from central train station dragging 20kg bags - 15-18 mins. The reviews mentioned the stairs, its true, there are many and steep BUT the view is best at the top. I am over 60 and had 2 x 20kg bags that I could use as a backpack, I was cautious going up and down BUT worth the effort !!

LithuaniaThe only thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is slightly below ground level. This doesn’t affect comfort, but it’s worth noting for those who pay attention to such details. Other than that, it’s a great place to stay!
The apartment is amazing! Very clean, stylish, and well-furnished – it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is just perfect, right in the city center, making it easy to reach all the main attractions. A special mention to the host – very friendly and welcoming, she showed and explained everything in detail.

United KingdomVery comfortable attic apartment and welcoming host. Excellent location for trains and also museums and a nice view over canal. Very friendly cats in main area. They do not come to the apartment but might be an issue if guests don't like cats. We enjoyed being welcomed by them each time we returned to apartment after a day out. Stairs are very steep, which could be an issue with big luggage. However steep stairs are normal for old Dutch houses.

United KingdomWe liked everything.
Tobias, who speaks fluent English, met us at the apartment and explained everything to us. He had organised some little extras, so we felt straight at home. The apartment is centrally located. As I have health problems we booked the basement apartment, which is easily accessible. We would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomNothing- we had a very enjoyable stay. Thank you :)
We had a gorgeous time in Amsterdam, the apartment is lovely, such a treat to stay in an old style Amsterdam house on the canal. The bed is very comfortable, there is great views out onto the canal. The little added extras were appreciated e.g., coffee, biscuits and rituals minis in the bathroom. The place is central, very easy walk from the station and into the old town. The hosts were really lovely and attentive, gave us a couple of recommendations for places to eat when we arrived quite late which were great! The cats are so cute too! Would definitely recommend this apartment and would love to come back if we are ever in Amsterdam.

AustraliaYou need to be quick checking the bike traffic, not a case of ‘ look left then right then left again’. do that twice.before you crosss any road. But cars and taxis are quite polite.
The location was spot on and pretty much in the middle of the main area within walking distance to all the major areas of interest and bus/train area. the little apartment has excellent use of space and the amenities all catered for.

United StatesThe apartment is so beautiful! Love the architecture and artistic details. Really lovely. Location is close to everything but not in the middle of the madness, perfect. Also loved being greeted by their beautiful cats. You have to walk through their home to get to the apartment. And you need to make sure the cats do t get outside or into your apartment. I loved that but some may not. Host was very kind and helpful!

BrazilThe only minor drawback was the creaky floor, which made me a bit uncomfortable as I was worried about disturbing anyone staying below us. However, I assume whoever stays downstairs is likely used to it.
Kalkmart Suits is located in a lovely and strategic area. The location is peaceful, yet close to all the main attractions tourists seek when visiting Amsterdam. The apartment is not only comfortable but also offers a unique experience, allowing you to stay at the top of a traditional Dutch building (be aware you will be climbing stairs). The view of the nearby canal and the Montelbaanstoren Tower is a delightful bonus, especially while enjoying a coffee. The hosts are wonderful! We felt truly welcomed in their beautiful home. I will definitely come back to Kalkmart Suits.
