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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Didn’t opt for breakfast. Good authentic cafes locally. The complimentary bottle of wine in the room was a nice gesture though we didn’t actually finish it!

Fabulous hotel, in a good location near the metro and access to cafes. Great 1920’s decor throughout. Very well designed rooms maximising space available to great effect. Access to cocktail bar in the basement with same opulent decor. Highly recommended for a short visit to Vienna.

United KingdomIf the floor of the shower room can be a bit higher, then it is perfect!
I love this hotel! It is so lovely to see the greeting card with your name by handwriting when you arrive at your room. It made you feel so warm and so welcomed. The location is excellent, you can take U3 to go everywhere. The staff are very nice and the breakfast is awesome! The decoration of the room is so beautiful, a combination of vintage and modern style.

GermanyThe hotel has a very nice flair. The colours on all the floors are pleasant and the rooms have a very cozy atmosphere. The lobby, even though we didn't use it a lot, was very nice too. Excellent breakfast in what turns into quite a decent bar at night. Service during breakfast was excellent. The bar was packed and therefore the service was a bit slower, still friendly and nice. If you are a very fresh couple you might experience an upgrade of your relationship as the facilities are not very private.

AlbaniaEverything🤍 I loved it! It was actually the best hotel I have ever stayed!! The staff was great, they were kind, careful, and gave me a warm welcome from the beginning. Sara especially was amazing, she also helped my sister to arrange the cake and flowers for my birthday. Everytime I went out to visit the city, I couldn't wait to go back to enjoy the hotel, especially the bar downstairs where I felt like I was living in a movie. It gave me great vibes and overall Every moment in Josefine was worth it. It felt like home 🤍

United StatesStaying in Hotel Josefine was like living in a dream from a jazz-infused bygone era, yet with all the amenities of today—including a heavenly bed that felt like sleeping in the clouds. We also loved the surrounding areas of Mariahilf and Neubau, which provided us with a more neighborhood-like “home” to return to after a day spent sightseeing in the more bustling downtown.

Albania-
My stay at Die Josefine in Vienna was nothing short of delightful. Stepping into the hotel felt like stepping back in time to the glamorous 1920s, with its charming decoration and ambiance. The staff were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The room was not only immaculately clean but also beautifully appointed, with attention to detail that truly enhanced my experience. The comfortable bed provided a restful night's sleep, and the amenities offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the hotel's convenient location, just a minute away from the metro, yet within a leisurely 20-minute stroll to the center of Vienna. This allowed me to easily explore the city's attractions while still enjoying a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Overall, Die Josefine exceeded my expectations in every way, offering a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. I cannot wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna.

United KingdomHaving a small refrigerator in the room would have been a nice addition, but its absence isn't a deal-breaker.
The room is generously sized, with beautiful fittings and a very comfortable bed. Don't be deterred by the bathroom layout; the toilet is separately enclosed by its own door, and a large curtain can be drawn to fully separate the bathroom area from the bedroom.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. The hotel is perfect.
What can you say? This hotel has everything you need for a city break in Vienna. Beautifully decorated, Josefine is cosy with a modern take on classic themes. We had a cosy room, tastefully decorated and well equipped with a comfortable bed and plush decor. A beautiful separate shower and WC, and hand basin in the room made it feel like we had taken rooms in 1920s-era Vienna. We loved the Roberts radio and the ability to stream music. When in the room we listened to Austria's Classic-Radio which added to the ambience of the room. Downstairs you have the Phonotek room, where you can get a drink or a coffee whilst perusing the vast vinyl collection ad playing some bangers. We liked some of the old German records especially ones by James Last and the extensive range of disco floor fillers. We also like piped 1920s-1930s music around the hotel. And that's the thing about Josefine, the little details. The key for your room and the key fob; the bottle of wine to great you; the coffee in the Phonotek room whilst you wait for your room; the dressing gowns and slippers; the little notebook they give you so you can record your stay. All these little things make Josefine different along with the ability to step back in time. Amazing location - 30 minutes from the Airport by Taxi. Everything close like buses, U-Bahn and shops. Breakfast at Josefine is a ritual of the highest standard. You'll have to book and after you have been seated by the lovely staff. We had the standard breakfast included and you get the widest range of options from omelettes, salmon platters, Viennese porridge, toast, beautiful local bread (including Gluten Free Options), bacon and eggs and continental options. There are additional options available such as Eggs Benedict at extra cost. All presented on an afternoon tea stand. Staff are totally brilliant, so helpful and lovely. Amazing level of service.
