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...).

NetherlandsWe were brutally disturbed in our sleep by the sounding of the fire alarm. And we didn't like the shower. Adjusting the temperature could not reach a constant temperature, fluctuated between very hot and cold. Also, we ourselves found the sink faucet very annoying because you practically could not stay dry when brushing your teeth. Furthermore, the bed was quite hard. The price is based on the location and the size of the room, but too expensive for what we received in terms of comfort.
Beautiful room, enough space. We also had a very nice view. The location was great, in the middle of the city centre. We also liked the staff's appearance and hospitality.

United States of AmericaThe furnishings in the room, while enjoyably campy, are pretty dated. Everything looks scratched, dented, or worn out, especially the carpet. Be forewarned...the shower alternated wildly between freezing and scalding. Breakfast is the same each day, decent, but not particularly special.
The hotel has a lot of character. Staff were pleasant. Our room had a beautiful water view. The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Leiden, with many restaurants and shops nearby. It's about a fifteen minute walk from the train/bus station. The bed was large and comfortable.

GermanyI won't have breakfast there again. Its very basic, which would be ok for me if the price wasn't 15 Euros.
I new that Nieuw Minerva would provide what I was after - an uncomplicated accommodation close to th city centre. It was resonably quiet and the room had everything I needed. There is little space and I would not recommend my room for an extended stay but for one night it was fine.

United KingdomThe noise from the window was incredibly loud and disturbed mine and my friend sleep on both nights. I was also disappointed that the Body wash and shampoo were all in one… for the price of the hotel I would have expected more I think! As an aside - the company we ordered a taxi with (recommended by the hotel) did not come through! Brought this up to staff and they were helpful and understanding…
The bedroom was clean, the location was excellent & the staff friendly and helpful from start to finish.

It’s an old hotel right next to the canal with nice bars and pretty streets. The desk staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English. It’s also not a long walk from the railway station.
