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.).

Right off the main square in Rothenburg with parking behind the hotel (9 E) We had a great stay at the hotel. You're in an old building so be prepared for climbing stairs, dipping your head in doorways and odd layouts to rooms but our room was well equipped, large with a good bathroom. The stay was quiet. Beds were very firm. Very good and plentiful breakfast. We had a bit of trouble getting to the parking but more my fault. When your GPS says you have arrived, keep going a bit farther until you see the arched opening to the proper parking lot for the hotel. It was so nice to be able to walk out the door and be in the middle of Rothenburg. We really enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was in an excellent location right in the centre of the old town. Everything we wanted to see was in walking distance and the train station was close by too. The room was comfortable and cosy. Breakfast was basic but nice. We enjoyed our stay.

AustraliaVery centrally located, easy to find the car parking for the hotel, check inn was friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean neat very spacious for a family room. Fabulous view from our window into the old town. Hotel had beautiful old charm that was very fitting for the area. We travelled with 2 small children, would recommend for families due to location size of rooms & downstairs restaurant was lovely. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Loved the location-right in the center of old town, even our windows gave us an awesome view. The room was very spacious with a a bit of privacy between the two beds. Loved being in such an old historic building with all the historical features. Staff was very pleasant and we enjoyed a delicious dinner on site.

AustraliaFinding the hotel car park was tricky, ask the hotel before trying. The lighting of the mezzanine area of the first floor is not very good in the evening so getting in and out of the hotel room after dark is inconvenient.
The location is very central to the old part of the city. Effortless access to all attractions. The hotel restaurant serves the best Schnitzel we have tasted in Bavaria. The staff is very helpful and funny.

ArmeniaThe liquid soap wasn't good. My hands got dry and cracked (my skin is very sensitive). If the soap could be changed that would make the stay perfect. And that's it. Can't think of a single other thing that we didn't like.
The location of this hotel is stunning - one step out and you're on the main square! The building itself is like a small museum be it exteriors or the interior, it's just perfectly beautiful 14th century house (please remember this fact). There's also a cute 9 and 3/4 room on the second floor! The staff was amazing at everything. They were extremely friendly, helpful, polite and nice. Firstly, me and my sister arrived at the city way before the check in starts and just wanted to leave our stuff at the luggage room but the we were told that we can actually check in right now. Secondly, we didn't have a kettle in the room but were welcomed to ask for hot water at the restaurant (it is on the first floor and is absolutely wonderful) which we did several evenings in a row. The restaurant staff never failed to please us - we had two meals here only because there were some restaurants that I picked months ago so didn't have to have dinner everyday at the same place, but we totally could do so at the Goldener Greifen, The breakfast is included in the price of the room and we've enjoyed every bite and sip of it. Our room was big enough for two people. It was warm even when the heating was turned off and it's a great thing in February. The mattresses and pillows were great, I had good sleep for all 4 nights we were staying here and even my bad neck wasn't hurting.

AustraliaBreakfast staff assumed we knew how their kitchen / breakfast arrangements worked and got a little cranky when we didn't know what we were doing, otherwise staff were lovely.
Location could not have been more perfect! Right in the centre of old town near the town square. An easy walk to anywhere within the old town and to the town walls to see the view of the valley. Breakfast was basic but good. The room was very comfortable.
