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.).

GermanyNothing. The hotel is older and nothing fancy, but it is clean and well-situated.
Easy-to-find location, near the center of Idar with grocery and dining options nearby. Staff was pleasant and helpful at checkin. There was a secure place to leave our bicycle overnight. We were directed to call the emergency number in the morning to have someone unlock the kiosk where the bike was stored. This went about as I expected, requiring a little patience as the desk is not staffed in the morning. Kudos to the chef in the dining area who helped us when no one was answering the emergency number on the first few rings. The room was very big. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast had all the offerings and pleasant staff.

United StatesThis felt like a typical European hotel for the price. The building and rooms may have seen better days, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. If you're expecting an American style hotel room and amenities, you will be disappointed. All in all, a good stay.
We were in Idar-Oberstein to visit the gem mine on a recent trip to Germany. We got into town late, slept, and checked out in the morning. We communicated through email that our arrival would be later than initially planned and the response was quick (and in English), with a phone number to call when we arrived. The gentleman that checked us in was friendly and spoke English well. When we woke in the daylight, the views from the room were amazing.

GermanyWe payed for breakfast and it was announced till 10am, but at 9.30 the breakfast- room was already closed. After other guests with the same problem, made phone calls ect. we got something to eat in the end. We got told (not from the service staff but from somebody working in the same building) that that is an ongoing problem coz the hotel- owner pays the breakfast waiter only till 10am but if he would serve till this time he would need another 30- 60 min to clean up and to close the restaurant. So we would like to give a little advice to the owner: pay all your staff appropriately...

Frankly this is not a hotel but I felt it is kind of a rented room with no facilities., small old TV that's it ..no coffee maker or nothing. They are running Building as hotel without any hotel facilities. Parking is not free and you have to pay extra with coin system means you can not go out many times with car or else you have to ask again and again for the coins.zero security and not safe for families. Also over priced, never again

SpainThe whole experience is a bit morbid, the hotel itself didn't get an update since 1960, the stains on the carpet, and the dark corridors at night as if we were in a horror film. Didn't have the courage to even try the breakfast. Careful when arriving at night, there is no one at the reception and a paper with a number to call in order to get to your room.
