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.).

The room was a little on the smaller side (from an American perspective), but very clean and a nice bathroom.
Very nice hotel near the Munich train station. Also a short walk to Karlsplatz which has a big subway station and a large pedestrian street with plenty of food and shopping. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Also, the restaurant in the hotel (Vinothek by Geisel) is a michelin star restaurant, we had one of the best meals of our trip there!

One of our rooms had to climb a flight of stairs and my elderly folks with luggage was a struggle. We were not told that there were steps to climb. In the end, we had to switch rooms amongst ourselves as other 2 rooms were on different level with lift access.
Location was ideal to where we want to go. Breakfast was excellent

I;m not sure if there was a plastic cover under the sheet, but we woke up sweating. It was a bit difficult to find since the directions led us to a closed off street and we had to search around a bit. It would have been good to have a head's up about that!
A staff member came outside with me to the car to help with the bags and explain where to park the car. The hotel is very classy and well located to walk to the older part of Munich. There are plenty of restaurants in the area. Our room was large with room for a sofa and coffee table, a good sized bathroom with toiletries and a nice tub/shower. There was plenty of room for our bags and belongings. We did not take advantage of the breakfast, but we were able to get coffee. There was a grocery store on the street which was convenient. The subway was on the corner.

Nothing to dislike. The construction in front of the hotel can't be helped and didn't cause any bother.
Excellent breakfast selection in a lovely dining area. Asked for a quiet room (garden view/ interior facing) and it met our needs. Beds are large and comfortable. Bath facility was luxurious, especially enjoyed the l'Occitane products that were supplied - nice touch! Location to train station is great for train travel and it's only a 15-minute walk to the middle of Munich old town. Made good use of the underground walkways to/from train and the old town from the hotel.

Excellent location, being very close to the Hauptbahnhof. Short walk to local attractions, shopping and restaurants. The room was comfortable and very clean. Appreciated the L’Occitane amenities. Hotel has a lovely Bavarian charm. Friendly helpful staff. Every item in mini bar was 2 euro. Would stay here again when in Munich.

Can't think of anything we didn't like.
Great location close to the train station, subways, and the starting location for many tour companies. However, the area is involved in a great deal of construction. Although there is no noise at this time, that may change. Property was clean and the breakfast was good with great service.

We would have appreciated a fitness center on site to exercise. Having an option to do laundry would also be a plus. There were not a lot of power outlets in the room, which made it slightly inconvenient to charge our devices.
The location was great. I could easily access the Marienplatz and other attractions just by walking. The staff were extremely friendly and warm. It was our first time in Germany, and we highly recommend this place!
