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.).

GermanyThe hotel tends to be a bit noisy, but that's part of its charm as an older building.
"It's a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the city. Within a short 5-minute stroll, you'll find yourself amidst all the shops and bars. The hotel staff are incredibly warm and accommodating (even waiting for us despite our late arrival). The rooms boast delightful decor, complete with complimentary slippers and a bottle of water. This hotel comes highly recommended!"

QatarPerhaps only that it is very quiet and a little dark after certain night hours.
Location was a good walking distance to the train - about 10 minutes. Lovely set up, cozy and comfortable. Great staff who welcomed us and even took the time to share with us about the various Christmas markets and popular locations to visit and eat. Also kindly informed us of places to be more weary and careful.

Romania- more attention to the cleanliness of the bathroom, but it was not a problem, - we had a broken light bulb in the room, but we managed by using the others.
- the staff of the hotel rated 10, let us check-in earlier, - initially we encountered a problem in the first room, because the balcony door did not close properly, being broken. But after we noticed this, our room was changed immediately, - the property was warm, - we were served with biscuits and gummy bears :)

United KingdomCannot fault.
The location was great for the Angel and Nicolas Christmas markets and then the public transport to the main areas of Cologne. However, we enjoyed the walking... only 20 mins to the Dom and all through the shopping area. In the other direction was the Belgium quarter. Loved it here, too.

NetherlandsWe were with two little children and the floor was just very creaky (which I usually enjoy) and the door between the main bedroom and the rest of the suite did not keep out a lot of sound. Also, the pictures make it look bigger - the room was still big enough though!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the breakfast delicious, the bed comfortable and the shower was lovely as well. Would definitely stay there again!

AustraliaThe only negative was the noise from the 100 year-old wooden floors, which creaked as you walked around so you heard upstairs clearly. However, this is minor and the floors are a great addition to the character of the hotel.
The building over 100 years old and has great character. It is a small family run hotel so it is quite different to your typical hotel. The rooms are spacious and have all the amenities required. We opted for breakfast, which was 15 euro per person. It is a vegetarian breakfast with a few options so was nice. Staff were lovely, especially Felix, and were willing to to assist. Rooms had great curtains to block out the light and the shower had good pressure.
