How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Not applicable!
Everything was amazing and Frank was a fantastic host! Nothing was too much trouble for him, very helpful and friendly. He gave us lots of tips of places to visit. Delicious breakfast every morning and plenty of food available/lots of options. Loved meeting his cat and friend's dog too which were added bonus as we love animals. He has two rooms which we had both since two couples in the party. Rooms en suite and very spacious, lovely big beds that were so comfortable to sleep in and bonus of a fridge in the rooms. Very close to Anne Frank House Museum and not too far to central station. Plenty of bars and restaurants near by also.

Nothing.
We absolutely loved everything about this Bed & Breakfast. It was in an excellent area, with lots of great restaurants and bars nearby. We had the ground floor large bedroom with patio doors out to a sweet little garden and we were lucky enough to get some lovely weather and were able to sit out and enjoy a couple of drinks in the sun and just relax from all the walking we had done. The host Frank was so lovely and we very much enjoyed talking to him each morning while having a tasty breakfast. He also helped to make my birthday more special by warming up some delicious pancakes, putting a flaming fountain candle in it and singing Happy Birthday to me. He also recommended a great Thai restaurant which is just round the corner from the B&B where we had a fantastic meal. We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone.

Nothing, but the weather could have been a little better but did not spoil our stay.
The room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. My friend and I came for a mini break and we couldn't have picked better. Frank allowed us to check in early and gave us lots of advice. He also looked after our bags on our departure day. The bed and breakfast had a lovely little kitchen on the first floor that was accessible 24 hrs a day. Frank was there to meet us for breakfast, and everything was provided for. It was in a lovely quiet spot close to the canals and only ten minutes to the central station. Do not take a taxi as they rip you off! Trams and trains very cheap and accessible.

Andre and Frank's place was very comfortable, and in such a great location in the Jordaan neighbourhood. Everything was very clean - the bedding and linens and the bathroom were all spotless. My room was cosy, spacious, and had a leafy view with a small balcony. Breakfast was very good, lots of options and Andre offered to buy anything I preferred. Walking distance to the central historic district and sights like the Anne Frank house. Also a great area for bars and restaurants but very quiet at the actual house. Very helpful hosts for getting around, too, they booked me a taxi to the airport with no trouble, just a great place to stay. I would stay again!
