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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

FinlandParking in the city is definitely a bit of a problem and their own garage right beside the hotel is tiny, so it is really recommended to book it in advance, if you come with a car. Luckily we got a spot there even though we didn’t.
First of all, all of the staff was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. I think that is not a coincidence. There wasn’t anything they weren’t prepared to take care of or have a solution at hand and I thought we had some tricky curve balls coming out of our hats. Problems solved 10/10. Rooms were nice and clean and the simple breakfast was well worth it.

United StatesThe customer service was outstanding, and the hotel was clean and comfortable. My mother and I had a wonderful experience, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful time in Ghent, and the hotel was part of that experience. We look forward to going back, and we have already recommended it to friends who plan on going to Ghent next summer.

FranceIt’s not in the center, but you have a tram nearby that will take you there if you need it, or you can take a bit of a longer walk.
A beautiful boutique hotel and the wonderful surprise of finding a place that didn’t sacrifice the space to get more rooms. Our room was big and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable, we had extra pillows, and free water. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was very quiet; we didn’t hear neighbors or the outside world, and the building is on a quiet street anyway. We truly loved it.

United KingdomA very minor niggle was the small size of the bathroom with limited shelf space for washbags/own toiletries, in comparison to the spacious room.
Friendly and helpful staff, close to good restaurants and the railway station, large, comfortable room. Would definitely choose this hotel again. It was a 30 min walk to Ghent town centre, which wasn't an issue for us.

CanadaBooked near the train station for convenience. Didn't expect much. We got a great room with quiet, effective AC, a good shower, lots of convenient electrical outlets all for a really good price. Staff was great and helpful in many ways.. We came in early but they got us in so we could drop our bags and tour Ghent unencumbered. Always a gamble booking near the train station as many hotels near train stations are rough joints in gritty neighbourhoods. This was not the case with the Carleton. This gamble paid off handsomely.
