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...).

EstoniaYou should be prepared for narrow stairs, if you want to book it. My room was located far from tourist road, so they didn't bother me. However rooms have zero soundproofing. You will hear every neighbour at night, every cleaning staff in the morning.
Perfect location, everything is nearby. The price was reasonable considering the location. The staff was polite. Room had everything I needed.

United StatesThe stairs are really steep. It worked for us. I'm 50. I don't think I will be able to deal with those stairs when I am 70.
The location is amazing, and the air-conditioning actually worked, unlike a lot of other European hotels.

United KingdomJust a lot of stairs, but fairly typical in Europe. Otherwise no downside.
Proximity to station was great. Tourist area with places to eat next door. Good size, light room with big window. Decent size bathroom where we had lovely hot showers. Kettle and some coffee/tea provided. Laundromat in the next sidestreet.

United KingdomOnly that some of the rooms need updating which I believe they are in the process of doing. The cost of some of the rooms can be a little expensive.
The Hotel is in an excellent location for everything Amsterdam has to offer. Most popular City destinations are within walking distance. The Staff are hard working, polite and helpful. I found the Reception Staff Augustine and Peter very helpful and professional. They demonstrated a willingness to 'Go the extra mile' for anything required. Even though the Hotel requires further modernising it is spotlessly clean and tidy. They also serve drinks for residents at a very reasonable price. When checking in and out they will also take care of your luggage until required,

NetherlandsThey are in the process of installing an elevator, which would make the hotel better accessible for some guest. Currently one as to climb quite some stairs.
The family run hotel is located 5 minutes walk from the central station. I stayed in a "superior" room which has been recently renovated. The quality of the facilities is definitely above what you typically will find in that area of Amsterdam for 2/3 star hotel. Together with the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere this all resulted in a very pleasant stay.

United StatesThe stairs are steep and very narrow going up - fine if you are young but would be extremely difficult for anyone older. There are MANY people walking by on the sidewalk outside the hotel - so a little chaotic. In the morning the seagulls were extremely loud sifting through the garbage on the sidewalk.
Location! Location! Location! It couldn't be more central. Coming into the Centraal Railway Station you just needed to walk across the street and you are there. The hotel itself was very clean, had good beds, coffee/tea in the room, and a nice shower.
