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 StatesLoud which wouldn’t be a problem if there was AC so we needed the windows open. It did advertise AC. Second the machine to check in wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t issue key cards. We had to come back later to check in even though e we checked in after 3 pm. I had to call the number but if you call before 9 am or after 10 pm you might not reach anyone.
The rooms are clean and simple and the location is perfect.

United KingdomMade clear in the hotel description, but would have been very noisy late into the night with windows open. Also probably noisier than usual due to a public holiday while we stayed.
Great central location in the heart of alt stadt with sights, bars and restaurants all around, and less than 5 minutes walk to the Rhine. Only 10 minutes walk from the central train station. Good size comfortable room and we were fortunate to be on the 4th floor and to have a balcony with a view over the square and to the cathedral. It was very lively with bars etc outside but the soundproofing with windows closed and upper floor reduced the noise significantly so we weren't disturbed. We appreciated the environmental emphasis in the room.

United KingdomNot much to dislike about the hotel in all honesty. Lift was stupidly small, two blokes and two cabin sized bags & it was beyond tight. The balcony while a nice bonus, needs to be cleaned just as regular as the rest of the building does.
It's the first time ever doing a self check in process and it was super easy & for ease/time saving, I recommend doing it before you go because then all you need is your Surname and Booking Reference code. The room was more like an apartment, spacious bedroom with a big TV & then a dining/kitchen area with also had a balcony albeit it seems to be home to two pigeons. Very clean, really cool vibe throughout the entire hotel and music playing in the public areas. We had a room that was on the bit of road that leads to a huge & popular square, didn't hear a thing with the window closed which was great. The bathroom was adequate, it was big enough for solo/couple of people, shower was huge, but the shower pressure was decent, but I've been very fortunate that showers in my recent trips have been top tier so I'm being very picky...also, you don't need to use your shower products, the one that's provided is a DELIGHTFUL smell...think Love Hearts candy, it was superb. Beds & pillows were very comfortable. Espresso machine with good coffee available. Location is also superb, 10mins away from Köln Hbf, 1min to the Heumarkt, 5 steps to Altermarkt, 3mins to Heumarkt Metro station, which takes you to all corners of the City. This hotel all in all, was superb in all aspects...if you're here for a few days.

United KingdomThe toilet in the bathroom was awkward to get to. Luckily we aren’t particularly tall so managed but anyone with long legs may struggle.
Location was amazing. Central to the train station (10 min walk), tram stops (5 min walk), Rhein river tours (5 min walk). Right on a lovely cobbled square (Alter Markt) with several bars/restaurants and backs onto another square (Heumarkt) with more of the same. Augustiner am Heumarkt has the best atmosphere, staff, beer and food. Do not miss out on this one! Loved hearing the bells from the church ringing out every hour. Very convenient and easy checkin (no staff, just checkin online or at the kiosk on arrival). Great communication by email and booking app. Codes for arrival checkin were sent to us and we had no problems at all.

United KingdomBed was certainly on the smaller side even for two small adults. No coffee/tea. No safe for placing valuables which meant they had to be carried on us all the time.
Great location close to the köln dom and shops/restaurants. Easy check in/ check out process. Room large and good view of the square. Some noise at night however is to be expected due to be located near bars and restaurants. Fresh towels and bed linen were provided every second day, overall very pleasant stay for our basic needs and a good price
