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 reviewSerene little island connected by cute bridge. Very cosy and thematic house. Enjoyed the jacuzzi and fireplace a lot. Very easy to relax, in or outside. Loads of privacy. No contact needed with hosts.
You're not completely alone, but passers-by do have quite some distance that even recognizing faces is hard. You have to be careful what you flush through the toilet.
Thanks a lot for your review! We appreciate your positive feedback and glad that you had a great experience.

Verified reviewWe were second time here with my husband. Beautiful location. The house is clean and very very cozy. Lots of cute ducks come for a visit. My special regards for a welcome sparkling wine in a fridge. I usually have big problems with falling asleep even in my own bed, but I was sleeping like an angel there. Truly relaxing place.
The shampoo in a bathroom is mixed with water 1/5 or even more. Feels very not pleasant and also doesn't clean. I hope the host will fix it for future guests.

Verified reviewIt had been 10 years for my girlfriend to visit the Netherlands. So I wanted some place special for her to adept and us to be together the first days. And oh my... it was special. Very nice located with all green around. Ducks and Swans around, beautiful surrounding with stunning statues and greek atmosphere. I was just great to walk around. The inside was great, very cosy and a open fire in the middle. We loved it as well as the look and feel. Very nice and appreciated.
The weather, but not much the owner can do about that ;p We didn't use the hot tub as it was just too cold outside... However still the outside looked great and the rain falling on the roof had is charme also.
We appreciate your positive feedback and glad that you had a great experience. We hoop to see you soon again!

Verified reviewI loved the setting. I wished the weather had been better so I could spend the majority of my time on the deck. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was great!
I had difficulty seeing in the low light environment, especially in the kitchen. The couched were not very comfortable.
Thanks Margaret for your review. We are very happy that you have been able to enjoy nature and its surroundings. We are sorry that the light inside was not enough for you and that you did not feel comfortable between the sofa cushions. In any case, it was a pleasure for us to receive you and that you were able to enjoy our accommodation. Best regards Yaquelin D

Verified reviewThe name is very well chosen! It is indeed a real paradise. It seems like you enter another world and you can feel that everything is made with love! Full privacy because the house is on an island that only you can enter. There is a beautiful parc around the lake that invites to have a walk. And if you want to come with your family or some friends, there are also other beautiful accommodations available. The owners are really creative! We had the pleasure to shortly meet Rob - what an interesting and welcoming person! I can only recommend and will be back as soon as possible :) thank you very much!!!
Thank you very much for your review!😀

Verified reviewThe style of the accommodation itself was magical, as well as the grounds on which it is located. It is obvious the owners put a lot of love and passion into this place. It’s aptly named: truly a paradise. The owners are very friendly and accommodating as well.
Nothing, it was perfect.
Thanks very much for your review! 😀

Verified reviewThe hosts were really lovely. The views of the lake were stunning. The jacuzzi was really nice although, through no fault of anyone, the weather was far too hot to enjoy it.
A little pricey for our budget. The kitchen area was really dark with very low lighting. There should have been, in my opinion, facilities for any less than mobile guests. We had a disabled friend visit (for which we had permission from the host) and the toilet was unfortunately impossible for our guest to access. We were offered the use of a toilet in another building but this would not be ideal for anyone actually staying in the property. To be fair we haven’t any mobility issues and it was booked with that in mind.
