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 KingdomCould have been staff at the hotel. No one replied to an email I sent before arrival.
Very comfortable bed. Everything I needed in the room. Reasonably quiet on top floor. Miserable outlook at rear but I wasn’t there for the view! No staff on site at the hotel. All digital which worked. The breakfast at Ann & Max cafe was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. Delightful place.

United Kingdomit's worth noting that the stairs are quite narrow.
The room at Cosy Pillow is not only spacious and well-arranged but also remarkably quiet, offering a serene atmosphere for a relaxing stay. The hotel provides numerous thoughtful amenities and personal touches, such as the welcoming presence of incense. Situated right in the heart of charming Utrecht's town center, the boutique hotel enjoys proximity to an array of bars, restaurants, and shops, making it an ideal location for exploring the vibrant surroundings. One standout highlight for me was the exceptional breakfast experience at Anne & Max. The breakfast, cooked fresh and served with a smile, stands out as one of the best I've ever had at a hotel. This alone makes a stay at Cosy Pillow memorable. Given the overall positive experience, I am looking forward to booking a night at Cosy Pillow on my next visit to Utrecht.

South AfricaMissed the top up of coffee creamer, washing wine glasses and shower gel. Getting larger travel bags up the stairs takes some energy but is worth it.
Perfect location, welcoming staff, beautiful rooms, good attention to details such as a bottle and wine opener, super comfy bed and pollows :)

NetherlandsLoved the fact that the room was located right in the center of town which was brilliant. Bed was comfortable, contact with staff upon checking in was great, they were so friendly and helpful, leaving our bags tucked away safely in the shop whilst we toured around town prior to check in time was absolutely no problem for them. Really enjoyed the experience.

GermanyThe room was much smaller than it looks. It was dusty when we arrived and not cleaned properly during our stay although they changed the towels so someone was in the room. The stairs are incredibly tight and steep … be careful
Location is great. In the middle of the old town, cafes and restaurants are within easy reach. The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe soundproofing wasn't great but the hotel provide earplugs. The church bells do go off during the night (not the hotel's fault!) but we barely heard them and neither me, nor my husband could hear them with the earplugs in. There was some noise from above us and in the corridor but if we were to stay again (I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I were visiting Utrecht again!) then I'd ask for a room higher up.
Fantastic location, friendly staff, beautiful large room, with great facilities. We had read the reviews so knew that you had to check in at the back of the store under the hotel - not immediately obvious but if you know, checking in is super easy, and the staff are so nice. We arrived a little early but our room was ready so we were able to access the room an hour early, which was terrific. If your room isn't ready they are happy to store your bags for you so that was great. We were also given an emergency contact number, as there is not a 24 hour reception, which we did not need to use, but was a great relief to know just in case!

GermanyCheck-in process after 6pm was a little strange - the codes to open the doors get sent by WhatsApp. I was looking for them in my e-mails desparately and even ended up calling booking.com for help. After 6pm it's impossible to reach the hotel to ask for help with check-in, even the booking.com agent couldn't reach them.
Nice boutique hotel in the middle of the city, perfect for a short trip to Utrecht.
