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.).

United StatesThe bathroom was pretty small. Also our room wasn’t exactly clean, to the point that we asked for new sheets even to change them ourselves if they couldn’t clean it or move us to a new room. We never got the clean sheets. There were also crumbs & other things in the floor that were in the room when we got there.
The location is great! The staff mostly speaks English which was helpful.

The staff was very nice. The beds were comfortable. There is a great breakfast at the supermarket right behind the hotel for 2.5 euro per person and we were full. It's about 10 min walk from shops and Central Station.

CroatiaThe rooms are quite small but if you are staying only for few days, it is okay if you are just sleeping over.
The vicinity of the supermarktet is great, and people working there are friendly. It is not the closest thing to Amsterdam, it is actually in Zaandam, which is a neighbouring city to Amsterdam.

NorwayThe room was not clean especially the carpeted floor and the hand towel was dirty and one of the big towel was new and not washed so my body was full of cotton after taking a shower. The window is too high so even if we were in the 3rd floor it feels like we were staying in the basement and its dirty as well
The staff is fantastic and accomodating. The location is great, near the centruum and very near the grocery store where you can take a mouthful/soulful breakfast and lunch in a very reasonable price (cheap and tasty)

FranceDepending on your luck, you may have soap in the room, because the soap/shampoo dispenser was manifestly dismantled (stolen?) and so far replaced by shampoo bottles. More importantly perhaps, the room could certainly benefit, first from more thorough cleaning, and then from some lil basic stuff such as hooks or rails to hang jackets/coats/towels. Crucially, I wish there was a thermostat in the bathroom, since it wasnt easy to set the right temperature (and bumping the handle to literally burning showers is not much pleasant).
LOCATION: The hotel is located a bit away from hypercentre, however its not much of a problem thanks to Amsterdam efficient transport system. Instead of the 30+ (minimum) bus commute (with fair amount of walking before and after the bus ride), a better alternative option (but somehow not suggested by several apps) is the frequent, more flexible, 13min train ride from Centraal to Zaandam stn, and 15min walk from station to hotel. The hotel sits in a quiet and residental neighbourhood of Zaandam, pleasant to walk around (and recommended), with few options to eat out/takeaway right next door. ROOM : the ensuite room is simply furnished with just a small fridge and TV, towels provided. STAFF: staff members I came across were smily, helpful and provided useful advice, so kudos to them. Bikes are freely available from the hotel. Overall, the hotel made for a fair experience, maybe not ideally located but easily accessible enough if you use the train (and not the bus option suggested by googlemaps) and accept a bit of walking. I personally spend most of my day exploring and only come to a hotel to rest overnight so I did not mind the hotel being away from centre. For me, it was a good value for money due to late checkin time, and also it was half the price of the overwhelming majority of other options in the centre on that weekend I travelled. If you are an individual or a couple, sticking to a budget, more keen on exploring than partying, on a short travelling journey, then this option will get you satisfied.
