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 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):
- 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.).

Bear in mind that the s'Johanner has two properties. Check in is automated via the s'Johanner website, through which you can gain your access code for the entrance door and your apartment's door. Using the code that I had been allocated, I was able to gain access to the wrong property; it was only after having climbed three or four flights of stairs that I discovered my apartment was not actually in that particular building. The s'Johanner wifi kept dropping out for me, so I had to constantly switch between that and the Saarbrücken free city wifi as provided by the local authority. Although I had no use for the large flat screen television during my stay, I did note that there did not appear to be a remote control for the TV anywhere in the apartment. Possibly you have to request it from the proprietor? The worse negative of all was the fact that there was no air conditioning nor fan provided. The room was stiflingly hot every single night in the heat of August. I really struggled to sleep throughout my six night stay. I urge that this issue should be rectified ASAP.
The boarding house has an excellent location just off of St. Johanner Markt - Saarbrücken's main square. Saarbrücken Hauptbahnhof is a 10 - 15 minute walk straight along Bahnhofstraße, which connects the station with St. Johanner Markt. My apartment was spotlessly clean and very modern; the shower was excellent. The free bottle of sparkling water awaiting me in the fridge upon my arrival was hugely appreciated. In spite of the negatives I mentioned here, I would gladly stay again, though perhaps in the winter once the heat of summer has gone!

The apartment is on top of a restaurant, so the entrance has the "restaurant kitchen" smell (i.e. greasy). Same when you open one of the windows. The smell was not very pleasant. I also didn't particularly like the bed, it was too soft and didn't have enough support.
The place was very clean and well maintained. Furniture looked new. Location is perfect - right in the center, but since the room faces the side street, it was very quiet. The kitchen was very well equipped.

Bumpy check in. Spotty WiFi. Upper floor room requires windows to be open to cool the room in warm weather. But being above a popular restaurant, street noise and conversation are loud until very late with an open window. A room fan would help. The kitchen is well appointed but a microwave would be convenient.
Great location in St John's Market; large comfortable main room; large windows, bathroom, and kitchen. Free and easily accessible washing machine is a big plus. Very economical. Friendly and nice staff.

Parking options are terrible, and the recommendation is a parking for 24€ a day which is simply too high for Saarbrücken. Stopping to unload the car is possible only between 6am and noon. Otherwise walking distance to the next option is 100-300m depending on luck. The soap was empty and when I reached out to get fresh one, nobody replied under the given number. Also, one should be aware the apartment is right above restaurants and next to the main square and with the older windows, the noise level of the city and market place is relatively high also during the week until at least 11pm. The staircase is very tiny and I believe the information was given at the online check in (when I was for instance already on the way).
It’s very nice, light and clean.
