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 KingdomAll photographs (very good quality) are a bit misleading making impression of a larger space. The Brewer room has a low ceiling (less than 2 m) and in fact is without windows (small window was expected as it is in the basement but it was not possible to open it). The problem is that it was not ventilated well - we had to open doors to the street that was uncomfortable. There is no breakfast buffet ("to reduce the waste") but the need to ask for every single pice of butter or additional portion of food may be embarrassing for some people.
Excellent location and absolutely perfect staff and the service. A very elegant, nicely refurbished building with a creative theme - pleasant from aesthetic point of view. Very comfortable bathroom, good pressure of water, good quality cosmetics. The food for breakfast was of a very good quality but a limited variety (just eggs, ham, cheese and sweets). The choice of bread was limited (no wholemeal "heavy" bread). Coffee was very good.

PhilippinesNothing to dislike, everything is as expected
Its a 17th century property, its amazing how well-kept it is. The staffs are all friendly and welcoming, everything I need can be communicated through whatsapp chat. Breakfast in bed is very nice, big spread and delicious. The room was really small but manageable for solo travelers. Nespresso and Dyson hairdryer gave the room a touch of modernity. For those that travel with large suitcases, a tiny elevator is available. Location is near dutch restos & Winkel43.

United StatesThe hotel was in a perfect location, close to everything Amsterdam has to offer. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The hotel is small enough to offer great service, especially for breakfast. We loved having breakfast brought to our room each morning- and it was superb! I would definitely recommend staying there.

EstoniaIt’s not the fault of the hotel, but the charmingly ancient windows let you hear all that goes on on the street below. Fortunately, nothing much went on while we stayed there, but ear plugs could come handy if one is a light sleeper.
Lovely views from the Shoe Maker room were what I enjoyed the most. The room itself was even more charming than the pictures promised, with its ancient wooden floors and accents and furniture. (Tall people beware!) The breakfast was light unless you ordered especially. Communication with the staff was seamless. There is so much to enjoy within easy walking distance and public transport is quite near to take you everywhere else.

United StatesIf you have mobility problems, the hotel might be quite challenging, since spaces are small, elevator is very small and there are many steps and stairs.
The hotel is lovely, located in an old building overlooking one of Amsterdam's canals. Staff is young, extremely kind and efficient. Breakfast was excellent. I spent only one night, in a tiny but very cute bedroom (The Instrument Maker), with a big window with canal view. The sigle room can be small if you have big luggage.

United KingdomThat I didn't stay longer!!
Booked this hotel as a last minute weekend trip / and boy did I chose well! Firstly, communication with the hotel via Whatsapp made it so easy to just pop them a message about arrival time, or if I required anything! Now after I arrived, expectations just continued to be exceeded! The location is super convenient (10/15 minute walk from Central Station or a 5 minute tram ride), it is very well marked so you cannot miss it. The interiors are so superb, a very luxe feel (however very affordable) - the bed was like sleeping on a cloud, rain shower was wonderful and there was little touches like history about the room as certain pieces were imported as well as a bottle of Prosecco already chilled in the fridge - but that view from the window, next level! I was given the option of breakfast in the room which had all the trimmings (I am still dreaming about the mini Dutch pancakes) and arrived at the time I asked. Lastly, the staff at this hotel are just INCREDIBLE / special shout out to Jasmin who was just fabulous at check in! But every staff were so lovely, asking how your day was, if they could help and just genuinely wanted you to have the best time / which I did! When checking out, I received a lovely farewell gift which was such a nice touch! Would REALLY recommend staying here, if it's your first, third or 100th time - one of the best hotels I've stayed at in Amsterdam!

United StatesThis is not a criticism, but visitors should be aware that because this hotel is built in a centuries old property, the staircases to get to the rooms are very narrow, steep and circular!. There is an elevator but it is very small.
The Craftsman Hotel is a unique gem in the heart of Amsterdam. Built in a 17th century canal house, every room is fantastically designed to replicate a different type of "craftsman" workshop. We stayed in the Blacksmith room. My other family members stayed in the Bookbinder and Miller rooms. Each one was magical. Best of all, the staff is absolutely amazing. Everyone was friendly, helpful and bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Plus the included breakfast every morning was amazing. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!!

IrelandWe in basement flat The Brewers Room, which had its own entrance in off street so that was the perk but very dark, had to have lights on all the time so never knew if day or night outside. The ensuite has a glass door and a gap over the top so no soundproof or privacy as somethings you need to do in private - only downside.
Breakfast was really good. Great coffee, Great location.
