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 reviewIt’s small but clean and comfortable. The terrace right on the water is so peaceful even though there’s a rather large road nearby. We very much enjoyed having our delicious breakfast on the terrace looking at the cute ducks and watching the fish jump. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Their English may be a little limited but there was no problem understanding each other. All in all wonderful. Would recommend any time.
Only two little things: 1. I would have liked if there was somewhere to put the suitcase other than the floor. 2. That we only booked 2 nights 😁

Verified reviewThis is not city center Gouda but we were looking for something in that specific area so it worked out perfectly. The view is amazing and the place has really good chill vibes. The room is clean and cozy, we loved the floor to ceiling windows with the view to the lake.
The room is not big, we had to play tetris a bit with the suitcases. Other than that all was great

Verified reviewThis is a charming little place right on the water, all windows and a deck. Clean, comfy bed, nice breakfast! The owner not only let us use his rowboat and stand up paddle boat, but also drove us to the Gouda train station. In summary - amazing!

Verified review- The mattress is good. - The WLAN works perfectly. - The room is very quiet.
- The owners do not speak English or German at a reasonable level, so communication was problematic. - The car park is in front of the house, but the house is in a cul-de-sac with no turning possibility. Parking and driving off are naturally a bit of a hassle. The flat can be reached from the rear entrance of the house and is located directly on the waterfront. Therefore, everything is a bit clammy. - The flat is a decent size but the layout is very unorthodox, you walk through the bathroom into the living room/bedroom. The shower works well, but there is no shower gel (but instead all kinds of other products such as EdT for men and women, shampoo etc.). - The towels are very worn, the light shines through. This is a good way of recognising who just wants to make money from their guests or make their stay a pleasant one. - Sheets and bed linen are a bit too "colourful" and obviously not ironed (or still crumpled from the last guest??) - The TV is miniature (but I didn't want to use it anyway) and is in the bedroom. There is a very large sofa bed in the living room, it is not comfortable to sit on. You couldn't watch TV from there anyway because the TV is too far away and too small. - Breakfast is just about standard, an egg, a warmed croissant, a slice of cheese (and that in Gouda!!!) a slice of sausage, NO butter (only margarine). And it was served by the host in his pyjamas. That is unprofessional. - When I was sitting on the toilet, I was ENERGICALLY drummed out by the landlady because she had an appointment to attend. It was early in the day and I wanted to leave at 8:00 anyway. - Nobody was there when I left, so I couldn't ask for a bill. The invoice was sent to me on request, but not as a PDF, but as a scan of an invoice that had already been crumpled up (and thrown away). I am curious to see whether the tax authorities will recognise this invoice. This is absolutely unacceptable for business travellers.
