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.).

AustraliaJust a note that the toilet is one level above the room while the bath is ensuite. It didn't bother us too much but might be worth considering if this affects you.
Marc was a superb host, highly attentive and engaging. He even arranged a bottle of wine for us on the porch which was very kind. The room was spacious and clean and the location was great.

Our accommodation was very comfortable, had everything possible to make our stay happy and successful. AND the bed!! After a busy, busy day flying into Amsterdam Empiric was so easy and convenient to get to from airport. And from there city only an enjoyable and entertaining twenty-four min walk to centre and many other activities.

United KingdomAnyone with significant mobility issues, just be aware, the spiral staircase to access the room is narrow and steep. But we’re no spring chickens and we’re fine. I was very worried about the toilet not being in the room, and I guess I would have preferred one in the room, but do you know, it was absolutely fine (and private) even for night-time visits.
The location was superb. The room was stylish and super comfortable, with access to and seating in the most delightful garden. (Who guessed those iconic Canalside houses had gardens!) The ensuite shower/wash room was well-equipped, nice towels and toiletries. The room had all one could need, fridge, kettle, hairdrier, tv etc. Marc was helpfulness and charm exemplified; very easy to communicate with. He was very keen to help us navigate and enjoy Amsterdam, with directions and recommendations. Oh and the room was super quiet and peaceful; we slept like logs!

United KingdomWe wished we had booked for longer
Marc is an excellent, exceptionally thoughtful host, and this room is a wee gem in this peaceful, historic part of the city. The huge bed and feather pillows are the stuff of dreams and we loved relaxing in the lush back garden. Marc provided recommendations for travel, places to visit and where to eat and made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. The building itself is from the 17th century with breathtaking bas-reliefs in the entrance hall, commissioned by the building's first owner for his wife.

United KingdomAlthough there was a big bathroom with a big shower and 2 sinks, for structural reasons, the toilet couldn't be inserted in the bathroom, so we had to use a toilet outside the bedroom, always clean.
The location was very good, within walking distance of quite a few sights and supermarkets and eating places. It was very quiet and it gave away unto a very nice secluded garden with a table and 2 chairs under a small covered area. The host was very friendly and informative and helpful.

RomaniaI recently had the pleasure of staying at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht during my visit to Amsterdam, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of the city, it's within walking distance of all the main attractions, making exploring Amsterdam a breeze. Whether you're strolling along the picturesque canals, visiting world-class museums, or sampling delicious local cuisine, everything is conveniently close by. Upon arrival, I was delighted to find that the accommodation is incredibly easy to reach from the airport, allowing for a seamless transition into the city. The host warmly welcomed me and provided helpful tips and recommendations for my stay, ensuring I made the most of my time in Amsterdam. One of the highlights of my stay was the charming backdoor garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets. With direct access from my room, I enjoyed relaxing in the garden with a cup of coffee in the morning. While the toilet not being en suite could be considered a minor inconvenience, the host went above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs. Although the private toilet is located on the upper floor, the host graciously allowed access to another toilet on the same floor as the room during the night, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout my stay. Overall, my experience at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht was nothing short of delightful. From its prime location and friendly host to its charming garden oasis, it truly embodies the essence of Amsterdam's charm. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a memorable stay in this vibrant city.
