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):
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.).

What’s not to like? Perhaps the best place we stayed during nearly a month in The Netherlands. And Monnickendam itself was a delight, with a fabulous Spanish restaurant to boot.

Czech RepublicEverything was more than perferct
Outstanding location - a very short and cheap bus ride from Amsterdam gets you to a romantic small town with excellent views, quality restaurants which are not overcrowded by tourists. Stay at Fortuna Spinoza as a highlight of our trip. It is better than on the pictures, its VERY clean, from our room we had a magic view to the garden. Breakfast was excellent with a big attention to detail and local products. Edam town is nearby too. Prerfect value for spending time in Amsterdam but still experience a romantic atmosphere of small town.

Lovely old house renovated to be comfortable as well as attractive. Our room was large and light-filled with a nice view of the church and street. The town is pleasant and uncrowded with some cute shops and several good restaurants.

The Breakfast was nicely presented, all fresh and plenty of it. The position of the B&B was perfect, away from the madding crowd but easily accessible to the main attractions. The property was beautifully decorated and furnished throughout. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Babette, Niels and Raziya were perfect hosts.

NetherlandsNothing at all. It was all great.
Everything was amazing. We woke up to soaring cielings with a wooden chandelier overhead and then opened the curtains to then step out onto the upper level balcony for a morning coffee. The room itself, including the bathroom, was a work of art. From there, as we decended the curved staircase lined by portaits, you could already smell the fresh bread being baked. Babette was kind, warm, and welcoming, offering us mango hummus from the local market and rhubarb jam. She was willing to answer any questions and had many inisghtful tips for the area. The dining room was decorated in a superb way. Later in the afternoon, after taking a stroll in the old town and having a coffee ice cream, we say on the back garden lawn chairs and read while sitting in the sun. I cannot begin to express how much attention to detail there was. From the individually picked anitque pieces, to the little touches such as wonderful scented room difusers, it was all done with great execution. Definitely would go back again for a peaceful weekend away!
