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 KingdomThe rooms were very small, even though they were advertised as king size. There was no storage space at all. There is no wardrobe or drawers/shelves to place your clothes on so we lived out of our suitcases, which I hate. There was nowhere to store our suitcases, so we were constantly moving them to get around the room. The breakfast was very disappointing for the price (€15.00 per person at the time of our visit). There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room.
The location was great, only about a ten minute walk from the cathedral, so good for sight seeing. Great location for getting to all the Christmas markets on foot. The staff were excellent and were always very helpful. The reception staff and bar staff were always very attentive and positive in their interactions with us. The hotel and public areas were all very clean and well kept. We thought the beds were very comfortable and the ensuite was nice. The hotel was very quiet and the blackout curtains kept the room nice and dark.

United KingdomRoom is small and basic. One pillow very hard and the other very soft and the duvet felt too small for the bed. I’m GF and my breakfast options were limited.
Super location, right by shopping streets, short distance to the cathedral and all the Xmas markets. Hotel lobby and bar area was fab.

France...there was a low but constant wooshing noise from the ventilation system. Luckily I had earplugs so it did not affect my sleep.
The room looked clean and was overall comfortable albeit not very spacious. The furniture in the room and the bathroom fittings looked new and stylish. Fast wifi connection. Good insulation from outside noises. However...

United KingdomBar woman was consistently rude to our party. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would’ve be nice.
Excellent service from reception team. Great bar area to meet and relax. Bedrooms were stylish, well sound proofed, great shower and separate duvets on the large bed meant that although I shared with a friend we had plenty of space. Rooms were very clean and bathroom products smelled lovely. Located a few minutes walk from Markt Der Engel (Christmas) which was beautiful in the night time. Also a large shopping area nearby and about a 15 min walk to the Cathedral.

NetherlandsIf you, like me, like to sleep with the window open, make sure to ask for a room in the back or on the courtyard as the rooms in the front face a busy street. However with the window closed, perfect insolation, no noise from the outside.
You can't go wrong with Motel One - you know what you are going to get. Nice service, great breakfast and the location is perfect, easy access by public transportation or 15 minute walk from the main station.

NetherlandsRoom are very small and do not have options for larger rooms. No phone in the room so if you need to request anything you have to go to reception. Also room was too warm and they do not have the option to reduce the heat in the room with the airconditioning during the cooler months.

BelgiumThe lady who checked us in was a little too concerned that the breakfast buffet did not include "warm food" like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages or hashbrowns - and forgot to tell us it was not only organic, but utterly gorgeous ! Good thing is that there were signs about their "fantastic organic breakfast buffet", which made us notice before we made other arrangements !
Amazing breakfast buffet, all organic food. The whole hotel and its organisation is designed to meet guests expectations : accessible, comfortable, stylish, quiet, friendly and safe, and with a solid dash of premium quality behind it all. Special nod to the personnel, who clearly demonstrated caring for their guests. My spouse and I have been *very* impressed !
