How guest reviews work
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.).

Verified reviewVery well thought and beautiful hotel dedicated to music. This is reflected even in the smallest details. Comfuly beds and fun to have projectors. Outside garden perfect for chilling. Good breakfast. Close to Malmedy center and good High Fens hikes.
A few details prevented our stay from being perfect: curtains a bit short so the light came in early morning, some drinks and snacks missing while we had already paid from them on the self service app

Verified reviewSuper kids-friendly. Kids can run, play football in the outdoor areas and that’s totally fine. Relaxes ambience which makes it easy for families. Although small, the pool is beautiful and good for kids. The room isn’t big but is just fine for a family of 5. The idea is to spend time out of the room anyways. All clean and the communal areas are very cosy and relaxed. It is a beautiful building and the green areas are well maintained. We definitely recommend it for a family with kids.
We recommend the managers find a solution for the super slippery pool floor. It doesn’t make sense to have such thing by a pool where kids walk and run all the time. The do-it-yourself dinner is ok, the area is nice and relaxed. But the guests need someone there to explain how to use the fireplace, show the fire gloves, etc. We - and other guests - felt a bit lost and it ended up taking us quite long to have the food ready.
Hello Sofia! Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear your family felt at home, that’s exactly what Daft is all about. It’s great to know you enjoyed the cosy communal spaces, our dinner options and the green surroundings. Thanks again for your feedback and suggestions, we’re always looking at making the experience better! Hoping to welcome you and your family back soon! Cheers, The Daft Team.

Verified reviewVery nice concept, great location, green space around the hotel. Very clean room!
Indoor swimming pool is very small. Breakfast - poor choice and staff takes time to do the refill. One day there were no bowls, no juice, no cereals... At some point they refill, but they should be more vigilant.
Hello Sofia, Thanks for your review. Lovely to hear you loved the concept, the green spaces and your room. Breakfast at Daft is all about starting the day slow and easy and our team do their best to keep everything stocked and ready. Hope to welcome you back soon! Cheers, The Daft Team.

Verified reviewI did several glamping experiences in several countries because I like it and now what to expect ;) so it meets all condition of tipical tipi/ glamping/jurte....experience. Tipi for 4 was spacious enough for the 3 of us. TIPI was smelling bad but that is a well isolating tipi ;) Facilities (the few facilities which we were allowed to access) were clean, materials (very few materials in tipi) were new. The employees (few and completely overloaded staff) did their very best to try to fix things and answer to questions.
Extremely overpriced, not worth the value. It could work for half a price. You do not want to pay 258 EUR/ night for a tent with poor breakfast no access to indoor place (vinyl, pool table, cozy spaces...etc which is shown on the photos) and to the pool. 1, If you are a TIPI user you CANNOT ACCESS ANYTHING IN THE HOTEL, even not when it is raining! The pool table, any common leisure area, the vinyl room, the restaurant for breakfast, the projector and the swimming pool (unless you pay 50 EUR/ incl. in your TIPI package) is not for people rented a TIPI of 258 EUR/night. Sorry for the capital letter but I have to write it if the owner missed it during the PR for this experience. 2, BREAKFAST was insufficient, poor and not even correctly calculated. NO CHOICE, NO BUFFET, NOT ENOUGH! Maybe it is also only for TIPI users, I do not know. You receive a basket with selection of food, take it or leave it. People brought their food from Carrefour on the morning to have enough. Again...this is not what you want if you pay 258 EUR/night. 3, honestly, I cannot imagine what costs 258 EUR/night in that TIPI experience as we even did not get enough breakfast and anything extra but we had to take the downside of a normal TIPI experience. Why I have booked it? Cause based on the photos I thought there will be something special but it remains a huge disappointment. Definitely won`t recommend it until the price stay so high. For half of a price, I would give the 9 on 10 but not for this.
Hi Zita, Thank you for your message. We’re genuinely touched by your review. It’s never easy for our team to read this kind of feedback, especially knowing how much heart they put into making every guest feel at home. At Daft, we offer two complementary experiences: the hotel and the glamping. They're both designed to offer unique experiences and help people slow down, disconnect and feel part of a place that’s a little offbeat and deeply human. That’s why our team is always ready to listen, and why we try to keep things simple, warm and real. Honesty is one of our core values. We believe in open conversations, even when things don’t go perfectly. We don’t hide behind the reception desk: we listen, we learn, and we keep building a place where everyone can truly feel welcome. Wishing you all the best and maybe someday, a second chance to show you what Daft is really about. Warm regards, The Daft Team

That I did not book a second night….

Verified reviewThe warm and chill Belgium weather.
I'm afraid the room did not meet our expectations. The room is rather small and it is rather cold all night. There is not a great deal of space, which makes it a little tricky to pick up breakfast. It is also rather challenging to access by public transport.
Hello Jihun, We’re genuinely disheartened by your rating. Our team puts in a lot of effort to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We’re sorry to hear that there wasn't a match between you and our hotel. We are upfront about our rooms being on the smaller side, as it’s part of our concept to focus on the common spaces. The size of each room is also listed on our website for full transparency. Regarding the pricing, we believe we offer excellent value for money in the region. At €120 per night for a double room with breakfast included, it's a competitive price that’s hard to match. We hope to welcome you back in the future and leave a better impression. Best regards, Daft Team

Verified reviewExcellent territory, cool to walk around. There is a lot of stuff to do inside the hotel too: pool table, sauna with pool, home cinema... Going to try glamping and biking next time.
Mattress was a bit too hard, sauna is overcrowded sometimes. Hard to get dinner when restaurant is not working (good that carrefour is close by)
