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.).

PortugalBreakfast a bit too pricey (21€). In the room I did not manage to find the switch for the main table lamp. Mini bar fridge was switched off, I wished it was On, so that I can put my yoghurt overnight there (had to keep near the open window).
Very kind staff at the reception, clean and comfortable room and bathroom. Clean corridors and pleasant environment.

PolandWhere to begin. 1. Starting from the point that we could not check in at the promised hour (we declared that we wanted to check in at 13:00 and hotel actually responded that it is fine). Unfortunately in the reception they said that we can only check in at 15:00 at the earliest, so we went for a coffee and came back at 15:00. Too bad the room was still not ready and we had to wait another 45 minutes. 2. The temperature in the room was really high (no AC) 3. During our due out day, the cleaning people came to our room 5 times before 12:00 (whereas we had it booked till 12:00) , we could not sleep because unfortunately THEY HAD TO clean even though we still were in the room. They came back every 20 minutes and we could not rest. 4. The parking entry/exit is extremely narrow. Do not enter with long/broad cars, Iwe had basically 5 cm margin of an error with BMW series 5
I liked that wifi was pretty fast, breakfast was also great. The location of hotel is fine, it is walking distance from the most popular tourist locations

MalaysiaRoom on check-in, it could be more flexible for those guest that travel from far distance away such as Asia, after travel more than 15 hours and yet have to wait and only can check-in at 15.00 hours(check-in time), I believe there are some room available much earlier, because some guest check-out earlier than 12.00 noon, if guest request in-advance during booking and hotel should try their best to accommodate, I experienced last week during check-in on 22.11.2022, arrived at 9.35 am at front desk and only be able to check-in around 1500 hours, during the winter times after travel more than 15 hours from home city in Malaysia to Bangkok, Thailand(Flight time 2 hours) Bangkok to Munich(Flight time 12 hours) transit at Munich airport 3 hours and Munich to Cologne(Flight time 1.5 hours) and have to wait for another 5 hours at lobby before check-in ??

NetherlandsLocation: It was not so close to the Hbf or the city center. Lots of bars in the vicinity so some noise can be heard if you open the window at night. And a lot of broken glass on the streets and sidewalks and they dont seem to be clean up until the latter part of the day. Rooms: The room we were assigned to (because we are a family of 3) didn't have air-conditioning. During the time we stayed in Cologne it was very hot.

United KingdomArea was very noisy and busy at night though that is not the hotels fault and we would have realised that if we had actually looked up the area in advance rather than just checking it was easy walking distance to the Tanzbrunnen
Friendly, accommodating staff. Clean, decent sized room. Convenient location for our purpose - in walking distance of Amphi.
