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.).

Nice location, with cafe below, and backeries, restos, close by, which compensated somewhat for lack of coffee making machine in room.

The athmosphere was different to other hotels - more individual and with character, less sterile and not like mass production.

CanadaIt is right across the street from a grocery store, which is convenient. However, there are deliveries all night long so it can get a little noisy. It is in a great location in the Belgian Quarter; however, this is a livelier area, so it can be noisy late into the night on weekends.

NetherlandsThe airconditioning did not work; as a European I do not mind, but in summer it gets really warm under the roof.
Cologn'e Chelsea Hotel is legendary and they know it. I was lucky enough to have booked one of the suites and they put me into the Kippenberger Suite which has its private roof terrace. The architecture is playful, intelligent and aesthetically pleasing.

United StatesWater in the shower was often switching from hot to cold to hot, it was uncomfortable especially cuz when it was hot, it was scalding hot. The bathroom can use a few more hooks to hang the towels. The one they had by the sink fell off when I hang a towel on it. Also, it would have been nice to have black out curtains on all the windows, but one window didn't have it, so it would get very brights in the mornings.
Had a room on the fourth floor with a balcony, it was wonderful, calm intersection made for a nice relaxing view and breakfasts on the balcony. Highlight of the stay! + mini fridge is a must when staying for a few days and can store some food, Fridge, Tea and Coffee maker and the balcony were all the reasons I booked the room in the first place. But the beds were firm and very comfortable in my opinion. The room was spacious and cozy.

Really well situated and the price was good that weekend. The hotel is perfect for a short stay so I will repeat it for sure. Also it,s very clean and the room is quite big.

NetherlandsA pretty big downside was that you have to insert your room key into the outlet for the lights and outlets to work, so you can't charge anything inside your room when you're not there. I was there to do photoshoots and I could only charge my stuff overnight when I was actually IN the room. Since I had three batteries to charge, I had to set my alarm to change them. Would have been nice to be able to charge my batteries and laptop during the day when I was out and about. Also the room was pretty hot. Air conditioning would have made this stay perfect.
I definitely liked the room, it was clean and had a mini bar as well which I did not expect, so that was a nice surprise. There was a large window that opened all the way (nice for fresh air) and good roll-down blinds to block out sound and light. I slept very well here. Also the shared shower (I had a room with a shared shower) was amazing! Very spacious, clean and had a rain showerhead. Definitely recommend staying here. Also LOVED the late checkout!
