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 StatesOnly one very minor comment. Buzzer at the entrance is somewhat hard to spot when first arriving.
Breakfast was excellent--cooked to order and served in majestic surroundings. The castle and grounds are beautiful. The view of the Rhine River Valley is absolutely outstanding.

NetherlandsIt was a bit dusty. My only suggestion for improvement is the IKEA dishes in the appartment, it feels a bit out of tune.
We were walking the Rheinsteig and one of our stops was at Burg Rheinfeld. It surpassed all my expectations. It feels very private and luxurious to stay here. The burg is very stylish decorated, as fit for a castle (but not kitsch, wat you often see). Beautiful gardens, beautiful rooms. When we arrived someone waited for us to give us a tour of the castle. Sauna is included in the price. There is no dinner served, but a nearby restaurants delivers pizza and Indian food- (very easily ordering via whatsapp). Breakast served in the Knights Hall, who doesn't want? Would definitely return.

CanadaThe only drawback was the driveway up to the castle - not much trouble for cars but the big van we were in meant for some tricky manoeuvring on our way up and down. But the drive was definitely worth the trouble!!
The castle grounds as well as the rooms are all beautiful, and great for exploring...lots of little hideaways to find, and spectacular views of the river and valley below. There's also easy access to trails from the castle grounds that take you along the tops of the hills in which the castle sits. The staff were fantastic too - the staff member that greeted us for check-in (Mira, if we're remembering her name correctly) even called a local restaurant on our behalf, to order food for dinner.

Simply amazing!!! We had the run of the Castle which had the most beautiful gardens and it was so lovely to be able to wander around and explore. Beautiful sun terrace and even better hidden areas with swinging seats. Breakfast was fabulous. We only scratched the surface with a one night stay - I could lose myself here for days! Beautiful location and facilities, we ordered a takeaway in the evening which was lovely. Definitely recommend the accommodation and the fantastic staff - Anna, Louis & Alex. Can’t wait to come back!!

GermanyThe only thing negative that I can say is the bed, it was too short and creaked every time you turned. Suggestion: Providing a Information brochure in the rooms about the castle and the surrounding area with restaurants and points of interest would be helpful.
Friendly Personal, rooms have been renovated since my last visit, beautiful location with a fantastic view, breakfast was delicious with a nice variety, price is reasonable considering it's a castle, an elevator is available, bar room is very impressive, plenty of free parking.

NetherlandsStaff is lovely, the beds are exceptionally comfortable and the room was nice, but you don't want to stay in there too long because there is so much to explore! From the cosy bar/library to the impressive breakfast hall and the 'hidden' spaces around the courtyard, there are inspiring historical details everywhere. We spent a lot of time in the different areas of the garden, admiring the views and enjoying some local wine. It felt like we had this enormous castle all to ourselves, an absolutely amazing experience and a dream come true!

United StatesThe only thing I could say is that we didn't realize that we would need to take a car ferry over the Rhein based on where we were coming from, so just be aware since they stop running at 8pm, I believe. It's also quite a long walk from where you park to the entrance of the castle, so pack lighter than we did 😁
The setting and grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the staff was extremely kind and helpful, our room was so large and comfortable (though no a/c), the breakfast was grand and delicious and served in a beautiful room. We wish we could have stayed longer to relax and enjoy all the views and spots it has to offer. The cute little town doesn't have too much, but we had 2 delicious meals there.

This is a hidden gem! The property manager and his family were absolutely delightful and the property (or should I say ACTUAL castle) had me feeling like royalty. Magical views, gardens, and the interior was just as nice. We were lucky enough to drink the castle vineyards wine, get dinner delivered and enjoy it on a swinging chair overlooking sunset and river. Great breakfast included too. I really hope we get to come back one day.

Burg Gutenfels completely exceeded our expectations. It was not touristy, but rather classy, genuine, and beautifully restored. The gardens and castle are incredible. The breakfast was amazing, with made-to-order eggs. The staff at Burg Gutenfels were knowledgeable about the castle, very friendly, and helpful. We simply can’t say enough about this place and hope to be back!
