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.).

Very poor breakfast, lack of cleanliness everywhere, not worth the value for money. Our room was on the 3rd floor so be prepared to climb up very steep unstable stairs. Everything felt dirty and smelled bad.

Location, staff was friendly, was able to smoke in the bar once night had come and door was shut so wasn't having to stand outside when smoking.

Some of the others in the hotel were complaining about the location not being touristy enough (for example, it has a windy staircase), but that is the charm of the place. Don't stay here if you expect a five-star experience, stay here if you want to experience a more authentic side of Amsterdam.
This hotel is excellent. Located in the red light district, you will be surrounded by the activities that make Amsterdam (in)famous. It can be loud, boisterous, but the hotel itself is a sea of calm in the Amsterdam madness. The staff at reception were incredibly welcoming, the breakfast was good, and the bar onsite was a nice-to-have.

Everything went pretty well. The staffs are very friendly and helpful, the room was exactly what was demonstrated in the photos and the location was indeed in the hearth of Red Light District!

Rooms are in general poor, bed is narrow and short, room radiators are off after 10PM, additional electric heaters non functional. It is 50-60€ for the room with shared bathroom, but still too much. Get new madrases and nice sheets. Improve sound and heat isolation on windows. Shower curtain too short, wet floor, trip hazard.
Location is ok, bar is serving Warsteiner beer on tap, stuff super friendly.

The room was very tired looking & basic, no frills. However, we pushed the two beds together & lit some candles . The TV was very small too. A lick of paint & something nice on the walls would have made it look nicer. Also felt the breakfast was very bland. It was the same as breakfast, two years previously. A couple of cereals, berries & yoghurts would be a nice addition as we generally have breakfast on holiday & don't eat again till late afternoon. I realise the price reflects on what services you receive, so understand that things can't be too extravagant. The staff were very pleasant, so again, no complaints. Overall, we did enjoy our 3 night stay , so thank you 👍
The central location was very good without having to use transport. Even though the toilet & shower were separate to room, it was right next door & was clean, so no complaints there! Had requested a lower room as had a knee replacement & this was granted, which was appreciated.

The room was awful. Like so bad I did not dare sit down. The two chairs were stained black, the curtains were stained, moldy and falling down. The pillows were stained and nasty. I guess the sink looked clean and it had been vacuumed and the sheets were freshly washed just everything else was seriously gross. We ended up leaving and spending the night at the airport.
Location was excellant.
