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.).

United KingdomThe shower had poor pressure because it leaked. It was frustrating not to be able to take advantage the usually good water pressure that Germany offers. The layout of the room was weird, with a small room before you entered the bedroom. This room had no furniture.
The hotel staff was nice. It is a small hotel that exists alongside a larger hotel and when you need to check in or out, you have to speak to someone who will come over and give you your keys. The room was fine, given that the price was reasonable.

The hotel location is pretty central to sightseeing easily by walking in the city. The staff is helpful and friendly. We'll choose this hotel again while traveling to the city again.

NetherlandsThe facilities were lacking a little bit, but the room was spotless. For example, there wasn't an electrical outlet in the bathroom, but there was one in the room itself. It would've been nice to have a mirror near an outlet. Also, if you want anything to snack on or drink, you'll probably need to leave the property to grab something nearby.
The location is fantastic and within walking distance to several attractions. The hotel was clean, the staff was very nice and went out of their way to ensure I had everything.

United KingdomOn initial arrival, we were greeted with a locked door and a note saying wait a few minutes or to ring a number. My impression is, ring the number, don't wait. A cheerful bloke turns up within a couple of minutes and dealt with us. My feeling is that there are not enough rooms to warrant a full time staff member so they are nearby with maybe more rooms, who knows? It's not a hotel with room service and a constant buzz, but a few rooms where the guests are left alone and it was nice, if this is what you want. Suited us very well. Apparently, they do have rooms that have a separate toilet off the stairwell that we passed, but it looked clean and the check-in chap explained to us, they were priced cheaper, accordingly.
In the room we had, with the package I paid for, we did not have breakfast. I did not see anywhere that could have catered for breakfast anyway. There are 2 or 3 bakeries for coffee bread and cakes to eat in or takeaway within a pleasant walk of 3 or 4 hundred metres so that was no problem. The room we had was a good size, with a nice bathroom attached. It was all clean, although one or two fixtures looked a bit old or were broken, but nothing that reduced usability of the facilities. The location was in a posh sort of area, lots of high end shops etc, and very easy walk to the cathedral and the markets. There was as is mentioned on several reviews, no lift. Be aware but for us this was fine. We could come and go as we pleased at all hours, we did not really hear any of the other guests, and the area felt safe. Honestly, I would stay here again without hesitation.

United KingdomThe actual building is a bit noisy as there aren't any carpets in the reception so any conversation late at night was audible in our second floor room. However, this only happened for a short time on one night.
We booked this at the last minute and were really impressed by the quality of the room for the price. It was a nice quiet neighbourhood with some lovely shops and cafes nearby. The staff were very helpful and made us a cup of coffee.

LuxembourgOnly small observations: wish would be clothes racks in the bathroom, spotless linen sheets and no leakages on the ceiling. No elevator, so people, who have problem to move up and down take to attention. Also hours of check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00 are a bit short, although no problem to leave in luggage in the storage room.
Youth-oriented Hotel is a great location (near the Dôme) and perfect stay for Cologne Carnival. It is run by private hosts, who are very friendly! It is clean and equipped well. Very good value for money.

TurkeyIt is advertised as a hotel, but there is no reception or staff that should be in a hotel. However, it does not have apart features. Here you only get room and bed; is given. You have to open the hotel's exterior door yourself with the key. There is no room service, the room is not cleaned, it does not feel clean in appearance anyway, it is a strange establishment. The bed is placed on a base with a wide frame, and even if the sheets are changed, all kinds of dirt from the previous stays remain on the frame on the side of the bed. Since I wasn't sure about the cleanliness of the sheets, I put a t-shirt on my pillow. There was no elevator, I carried my suitcase to the 3rd floor. There was no safe. After the shock I experienced, I couldn't even think of not wanting to stay because it was not a place where refunds were granted, but it was also not a hotel that fulfilled its promises. After 2 nightmarish nights, I stayed in a real hotel in Brühl for half the price. Positive comments were obviously entered into the system by acquaintances of the business owners.
Location is goog, too close to DOM and train station.

IsraelI think the only thing that could have given the extra boost would be a coffee machine in the room.
The owner is very gracious. He waited up very late for me on my arrival from the airport. He welcomed me kindly, and our small talk quickly became deep. He always checked in with me to see if I was missing anything and gave me good recommendations where to eat and where not ;) . I enjoyed my stay and had everything I needed, not to mention the location - being in the center of the city with everything is a 1-5 minutes walk.
