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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
Politically sensitive comments
Promotional content
Illegal activities
Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
Spam and fake content
Animal cruelty
Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We liked everything.
From the time we walked through the doors we were impressed; not only by the castle but by the staff. Kim went above and beyond meeting our expectations. She made our stay an experience not just a place to sleep. While it was Kim that most of our interactions were with the other staff were also wonderful. We would stay again.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful boutique hotel located in a forest with extensive grounds. Loved the antiques and castle decor with heavy beams, black and white tiles, elegant furnishings. The restaurant was excellent. Pricing was good value for the quality provided. All staff were charming and helpful. Rooms were elegant and very comfortable. The building is historic so obviously you need to be able manage a staircase. The location is in a very pretty and green suburb, close to Leiden. The area is perfect for cycling, although a car is needed to reach the hotel. We would highly recommend the hotel and will return.

We didn't much like all the stairs, but were most grateful for the help with our luggage.
We received a lovely warm welcome after a long day of travelling. The restaurant staff went above and beyond, despite the late hour, to make our unexpected and delicious dinner a wonderful experience. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and made us feel like valued guests. The building itself is stunning, the room really comfortable. Loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom!

Lack of a lift meant we had three flights of stairs to our room, but the trek was worth it!
Such a beautiful place and great for exploring Wassenaar. The location was so peaceful and I felt completely relaxed here, waking to the sound of birds singing and the sound of the fountains.

Probably needs a knight in shinning armour
The hotel has huge historical interest and set in its own well maintained grounds. The room was large enough to relax and enjoy and exceptionally cosy and warm and lends the intimate feeling of a family home.
Kim and Sophie are fabulous hosts, very knowledgeable and attentive and communicate with enthusiasm, very polite and professional which made our stay extremely enjoyable from the moment we arrived. The bedding was particularly comfortable tc, first class, I was happy to share my experience with family and friends, Brilliant and very well managed !!
