Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

TurkeyThe hostel is a 10 minute walk from the city center, there are big markets and cafes around it. The room we stayed in is spacious and comfortable on the first floor, it has a balcony, the heaters were on in the evening, we did not get cold, the bathroom is big enough, hot water usage is very good. There is also a refrigerator in the room. You have breakfast in the shared kitchen in the hostel, the manager Frank is extremely attentive, sincere and cheerful. If we were to come again, we would definitely stay in the same place.

CanadaLoved it. Frank was a fantastic host and made you feel very welcomed in his B&B. He was very attentive without being intrusive and was very helpful in suggesting things to do and where to eat. His B&B was in the heart of the Jordaan and easy walking distance to the Amsterdam Central Train Station.

I really liked the location of our accommodation—on a quiet street in a peaceful neighborhood. Just around the corner, there are two grocery stores, cozy cafés (I recommend Café Winkel), and bars. The size of our room was also a pleasant surprise—warm and spacious. The main attractions are within walking distance. A special thanks to our host, Frank, for his hospitality, delicious breakfasts, and amazing cheeses! :)

United KingdomNo negative points. Everything was nice and as expected.
Well located in Joordan area of the city , an upcoming area with lots of nice options ( cafes , restaurants , wine bars , bakeries ) and reasonable distance to most of the central part of Amsterdam and its main attractions. Spacious room , nicely decorated and really clean. Breakfast on a self service basis on the adjacent kitchen which is equipped with all the basic stuff and overlooks a nice alley. The owner is really welcoming and helpful and will do his best to make your stay as comfy as possible.

United KingdomThe room we were in was adjacent to the kitchen which meant if there was anyone in the kitchen you could hear everything which isn’t great if you fancy a lie in on holiday. If you have mobility issues, definitely check you’re in the ground floor room as the stairs are very steep. We had everything we needed in the room, towels, hand wash, hair dryer, but it would be great if shower gel or even some kind of shampoo & conditioner was stocked in the bathroom.
Very clean property, and easy to get to and from the city centre. The area was quiet on the evenings too and had a supermarket a couple doors down which was quite handy. We also had a balcony which was a nice touch.

United KingdomNothing of concern at all. Steep steps if someone struggles on the stairs. You need to access the kitchen using the stairs but there is a bedroom downstairs.
The location was fabulous and a lovely welcome from Andre. Breakfast was lovely. Andre had gone to the market and bought fresh croissants. Lovely feel to the house and made more than welcome. 5mins from Anne Frank museum and walking distance to rijkmuseum, Voldenpark, red light district (you've just gotta experience it...but during the day) , dam square etc. Next door to the B&B is a fab toy shop with genuinely good old fashioned toys, wooden and tin as well as lovely wee gifts. Lovely eateries and would recommend bunbun on the corner for a morning pastry.

United KingdomSteep stairs to first floor - but typical of Amsterdam houses.
Large bedroom with Super-king size bed (convertible to 2 singles), chairs, tables and cupboards. Door onto small balcony with table and chairs looking out onto peaceful gardens. Kitchen next door with unlimited access for tea/coffee and breakfast (no set time for the latter) Bathroom clean and modern with great shower. Room was very quiet - couldn't hear traffic at all, curtains blocked light well and bed very comfy so a good sleep assured. Host lives upstairs and is on hand to provide any help required and is very friendly too.
