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):
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 KingdomThe breakfast was OK but not outstanding.
Easy off street parking, and only a 10 minutes walk to the city centre. The reception staff were really nice.

ItalyRegistration at the reception was slow. The apartment was comfortable, but some pieces of furniture were not in good conditions. For example, there were stains on the armchair. The reason why we chose this hotel wsa that it is an aparthotel and gives you the possibility of cooking and having meals in your room. However, the kitchenware provided was less than minimal: three kniwes, two forks....It looked as though nobody had checked the room since a long time. The shower was in the bathtub, which was very slippery. Most signs were only in Flemish.
The location was excellent: within a walking distance form the center, shops and the railway station, yet in a quiet street. The apartment was confortable. Breakfast was good.

United KingdomNothing not to like. Breakfast could have been a bit more expansive but overall was good enough and what was needed ahead of day exploring the beautiful city on foot.
Room was very clean, which was appreciated. Beds were comfortable and the hotel was vey peaceful and quiet. The walk into the centre of Ghent was pleasant along the river and only 20 mins by foot.

CanadaI wish it had more than just a soap dispenser in the bathroom. Would bring our own toiletries next time.
The woman at hotel reception was very friendly and helpful during our short stay. The room was comfortable and spacious and the bathroom was also nice. Not too far from the centre and very easy to get to Gent Sint Pieters station. Breakfast was simple but nice.

KyrgyzstanI spent six days at Castelnou Aparthotel, and it was a great stay! I arrived a couple of hours before check-in, but the very welcoming manager quickly found another room for me. The room looked exactly like the photos! Breakfast was included, with a selection of eggs, ham, cheese, bread, and croissants. They also offer packed breakfasts if you're traveling to other places. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming—they even gave me a guidebook to Ghent! I would definitely stay here again!

United KingdomHighly Recommend
Great apartment, tbh didn’t as such expect it to be cleaned each day. Kitchen was simple and equipped enough to cook. Location was 10-15min walk to the centre of Ghent. Also something that’s isn’t advertised enough is that that there is off-road parking. I’ll definitely be staying there again if I’ll visit that area. Highly recommended.

PolandThe water pressure in the bathtub was a bit low. As I already mentioned - the selection of cheeses, hams and vegetables could be bigger.
The location is very good, close to the city center and the most important monuments. There is a bus stop right next to the hotel. The room was very large, the bedroom was separated from the living room so I could work without disturbing my roommate. The was a tableware, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle and a set of teas in the room. The room was cleaned every day. The breakfast was good, although the selection of cheeses, hams and vegetables could be a bit bigger. A plus is the fresh, delicious bread. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

United StatesParking in Ghent is very easy curbside if you can find it, but I was new to the city - this facility parking garage will not easily accommodate a sedan-sized vehicle, don't consider larger vehicles as they won't be able to get in the garage.
Nice breakfast to recharge for the day. Excellent location. Same front desk every day meant continuing to build rapport through the whole trip.

United KingdomWe had checked that our vehicle would fit but it was a little unnerving that there was no sign on the down ramp confirming height. There are higher parking spaces available so request one if your vehicle is over 1 meter 90cms
The staff gave clear instructions as to the location of of the parking garage so it was good to be able to drive straight up to the on site parking. The location was good for an easy walk into town along the canal and also an easy walk to the train station as we took a day trip to Bruges. The apartment was clean and spacious and breakfast was nicely managed.

NetherlandsExcellent service from reservation to check-in to check-out. Private parking, it is a luxury in central Gent. Quiet and safe area, 15-20 min walk to central square of Gent, but there is also a bus stop nearby; it is possible to pay with debit card in the bus. Relative easy location to reach by car. The room and the breakfast were good for the category of the hotel.
