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 reviewThe location was fantastic. 5 minute walk to the bus stop into Gent. Didn't need to use the car for 3 days. All the fixtures and fittings were of a very high quality. Best bed for comfort and size ever. We had a slight mis communication at the start of our stay but Sandra was with us in a couple of minutes, all sorted easily. Nice private garden space for sitting out.

Verified reviewVery calm environment, it feels like you are in the forest. Clean very comfortable house with everything you need and amazing soft but supportive beds
On warm humid days it's difficult to ventilate the appartement for fresh cool air. (There is no airco)

Verified reviewGood host at communicating Place was nice overall Very quiet and well positioned to get into town or visit the nearby Aldi/Carrefour
Lots of spiderwebs (multiple weeks worth) all over show things need to be moved and cleaned/dusted in more detail. Very close to nature but still needs attentive cleaning.

Verified reviewVery comfortable and well equipped with good bus link to the centre of Ghent. Sandra was very friendly and helpful. On site parking was also a huge benefit. Mini bar was well stocked and a fair price. The cooling fan was excellent quality and very quiet. The overall design, layout and facilities were very well thought through making it a welcome, comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The kettle was only large enough for 1 mug of tea (being very picky to mention this but it was the only thing we didn't like).

Verified reviewThe location - green, fresh air, really quiet, not far from city center (easy to reach by direct bus or car); Good wi-fi connection Fully equipped Very clean and stylish place Sandra, the host, is a very nice and friendly person
Just one improvement that I can propose is to change the towels at least once every 2 days, because there is a quite high humidity and towels are wet all the time
