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 KingdomThe only thing that spoiled my stay was the rain that started just as I arrived and only ceased when I was leaving – nothing can be done about it, but an outside covered smoking area away from the main door where I could have enjoyed my evening cigarette may have helped :)
A lovely historic building situated in parkland on the banks of the Saar river. The room was clean and well proportioned and nicely furnished. The ground floor circulation areas were of the highest standard and a relaxing place to sit with an evening drink. The staff were very attentive, check-in and out were very efficient. Free parking is available for guests and I felt that my motorcycle was in a safe place. There is information available on the family who established the guesthouse and the origins of their business with some artefacts available to view in museum style display cases.

United KingdomThe rooms at the top can get quite hot and it would be nicer to have carpet on the floor instead of wood.
We love staying at this hotel, which beaks our journey. The breakfast is excellent and of course they use Villeroy and Boch china, which is due to the fact the hotel was built originally by the owners of Villeroy and Boch

SwitzerlandSlightly complicated when arriving after 6pm since you need to get the key from the guard at the main administration of Villeroy&Boch. But in the end wasn’t an issue. Small issue: scrambled eggs at breakfast should be covered, they were dry. Made probably of egg powder, and not fresh to order, this makes them less attractive.
Nicely situated, in a large park. Quiet.

LuxembourgIt’s not every day you get to stay in a beautful castle! The location is perfect if you want to combine your visit with a hike, e.g. the beautiful Saarschleife Tafel. The room was comfortable and clean, the bathroom very modern. The dinner on the terrace was fabulous and service excellent. The breakfast was good.

GermanyWe stayed on the top floor and the floor (Wood) was extremely loud when you walked around in the room. The Wifi was also terrible, but this might have something to do with the fact that we were on the top floor of course.
Amazing location, amazing property, friendly staff and great food. Will definitily come back but next time in Summer as we can imagine how amazing it must look during this time of the year.

LuxembourgMy only gripes were the strong smell of the cleaning products in the downstairs toilet that tend to hit you when you walk in, and can permeate the next level a bit more than they should; the winter weight of the duvet which was too hot for me (provide a lighter alternative?); and not having a self-contained bar-type space to sit by a fire and have a drink before, or after, dinner--that would have made everything just perfect. (You can sit in the entrance area outside the restaurant--it's grand but not that cozy.)
We were delighted with the queit and idylic location of the guest house: in its own park, looking back over the river towards lovely Mettlach. The guesthouse was also charming and had a real sense of history and the Belle Epoch about it. The Villeroy & Boch wares in use and on display were welcome. We had a pleasant meal in the restaurant and were very appreciative of the staff member's wine knowledge and recommendation: the 'Black Print' from Pfalz was delicious!

United StatesStairs throughout: the only tiny elevator is for freight only, though I did use it to take my heavy suitcase up to the room, and down at the end of my stay.
The setting is wonderful--an early 20th century industrialist's home set in a huge meadow-like park on the bank of the Saar river. The building was constructed with excellent materials: oak parquet floors. marble wainscotting. coffered wooden beam ceilings in the public rooms. All the tableware at dinner and breakfast in the formal dining rooms are excellent: not a surprise when I learned that it owned by the Villeroy & Boch company, whose factory in Mettlach makes it all!
