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.).

BelgiumTheir info brochure mentioned breakfast was until 10:30 during weekends and National Holidays. We were there on Pentecost Monday. But breakfast closed at 10:00, leaving us with very little leftovers, not worth 20 euro’s per person.

South AfricaThe shower set up is a bit difficult but I guess we don't want to interfere with heritage.
The warmth of a well maintained and comfortable old castle. The location is off center, but it works. The tasting dinner was perfect with seamless service. Excellent staff overall.

MalaysiaThe quality of the mattress and the pillows wasn't great. The mattress in our first room was lumpy and one pillow was too big, the other too soft consisting of little pieces of foam - or at least that's how it felt. After a night of hardly any sleep, we were transferred to another room with two separate mattresses which was better. However, the pillows still weren't great. Also, the shower had a curtain instead of a door which I felt could be less hygienic if not cleaned after every guest. However, the curtain did look clean so it may just have been the thought of it. If the beds and pillows had been better I would have rated this property a 9 or maybe even a 10.
We loved the quiet location and the super friendly staff. The castle itself has a romantic feel to it. We had drinks around the fire place which was lovely and cozy. The onsite restaurant is fantastic. The food is creative and tasty. Breakfast was not included in the room price but we were glad we had paid extra for it. There isn't a huge choice, but the quality of the breakfast is wonderful. There was oven-fresh bread and pastries, eggs (scrambled as well as two types of boiled eggs), bacon, various types of cheese and cold cuts as well as muesli options with yoghurt and (plant based) milk. They served fresh orange juice/ tea/ great coffee. Highly recommend having dinner in the restaurant too. Absolutely delicious, Michelin star quality.

FranceThe bathroom could be a bit more modern, as well as the decoration of the room. The corridor can be quite noisy. The breakfast is expensive (18€) and you cannot really choose what you get.

NetherlandsThe bathroom was tiny and didn't even have enough space for toiletries, the room (Double Room) was rather outdated, and some of the furniture was damaged. The surroundings of the hotel were also a little disappointing as we were expecting lots of nature, but it was next to a massive apartment block, which was also our view from the room. Finally, breakfast was very underwhelming for €18 per person.
The castle itself was stunning, the public areas and restaurant were gorgeous, and there were some nice facilities available (e.g. the pool table downstairs). Staff was friendly. Easy to reach by public transport.
