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.).

The reception was very kind to us and very polite. They helped us store our bags before check-in and after check-out. Our hotel room was very tidy, interior design was minimalistic and very elegant. The bed was comfy. We really enjoyed staying there.

United StatesHotel was difficult to fine and kind of tucked away. I wasn’t sure I was in the correct place until I walk to the end of the street.
I love the small, quaint hotel feel. the view was incredible. Room looked at tge old town hall and I could see the cathedral in the background on opposite side. The room was very architectural. Convenient to mass transit and in the heart of the city. Plenty of restaurants walking distance, definitely the highlight of my trip. Don’t forget to check out the rooftop terrace and have a cocktail.

This was our second stay at the Legend Hotel. Because we knew the hotel was so easy to get to from the station we stayed overnight to break up a long rail journey from Austria to the UK. For this the hotel was ideal. Last time we stayed in a larger suite but because this time we only had the one night we chose a smaller loft room. Although smaller the room was just as nicely furnished, comfortable and quiet as the suite so it suited us fine. The staff were just as good as they were on our first stay and we were just as happy with the hotel. As well as being close to the Station the hotel is also well situated for Cologne's main attractions and many breweries, cafes, and restaurants. We had a great night out in the old town before catching an early train in the morning. If we return for longer stays (as we hope to) we'll stay at the Legend if possible and probably choose a suite again but for shorter stays we'd be happy with the Loft Rooms.

United StatesWe prefer to eat breakfast on-site, but the cost for a family of four was prohibitive at 17€ per person.
The location of the hotel is awesome! We loved looking out at the town hall tower from our window. The hotel itself is exceptionally quiet. We never heard the guests next door to us, the elevator, or noise from the street.

The hotel was in an excellent location - very close to Cologne train station and the old town. The hotel was very clean and modern. We were upgraded to a loft room which was a nice surprise! The unexpected sandwiches, coffee and juice for breakfast were delicious!! The front staff were friendly and helpful. We would come again when in Cologne.

Restaurant is small but good things definitely come in small packages, has an exclusive feel with fabulous food and great staff. An added bonus was an upgrade for our special celebration to one of the suits, stunning room and very much appreciated. Will definitely be back and would not hesitate to recommend to others!

United KingdomAs other people have said, lack of a proper breakfast is something perhaps to work on? I'm not really a big breakfast person though so it didn't bother me too much, but some pastries/croissants on offer might have been nice. The hotel's restaurant is very upmarket which is hardly something negative... for me, personally, I just wish they had a few less fancy options for when I was a bit tired and didn't feel like going out and wanted room service etc. (like a basic pasta or pizza or French fries type of thing). But that is just my personal preference and the quality of the food that they do serve was superb. Also, this doesn't really matter too much since you can get a takeaway pizza literally around the corner in the square.
The staff are just amazing. Genuinely some of the nicest, most friendly, most helpful staff I have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble, they were always more than happy to go above and beyond. The room was incredible. Clean, modern, well-furnished. Had everything you need and again, honestly, was one of the nicest hotel rooms I have stayed in. The location is also PERFECT. You are only a short walk round the corner from the Cathedral and all the shops etc., but without feeling like you are in the touristy shopping part. You are also right next to the old Town Hall and its square with a vibrant atmosphere and lots of restaurants & beer venues etc. Another short walk and you are at the banks of the Rhine. If I ever come back to Cologne, this is where I will stay. Absolutely recommend it!

FranceWould really love an option for the breakfast. The coffee machine is a nice plus, but it's making a lot of noise! Had the feeling I woke up the whole hotel using it.
The hotel is well located, you have everything you need nearby (shops, restaurants...) and the main train station is only 5 minutes walking. The room was nice and the bed comfy, and the street is really quite. Went there with my little dog without problem, you just need to let them know that you are coming with one.
