Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Singapore-
The location, and its just near the Christmas market. Very accomodating staff with great warm vibes; I received a travel pass for around the area which was a pleasant surprise, and when I enquired about breakfast I got invited. Appreciate this kind of service (it becomes hospitality) especially when you are far away from home. Thanks!

United KingdomThe stairs to the upper floors were quite narrow and steep, this didn't bother me but it might if you've a lot of luggage and / or are mobility impaired.
Centrally located, pretty simple old school hotel with rooms up some quite steep stairs! Shared facilities per floor. The room was fine, everything worked and the window opened properly! Very informative and friendly welcome. Overall a good choice for a night or two in St Gallen if you need central location and don't want anything too fancy.

SwitzerlandShower walls had some mould - understandable as the building is quite old. If the hotel ceilings/walls furniture can be updated it would be best.
The location was central- great night life and close to the sights/train station. The duvet and pillow were comfortable. There was a sink in my room -very convenient. BEAUTIFUL VIEW onto st. Gallen. The concierge was kind and helpful. The hotel is great value for money and everything was clean- just a little old.

SwitzerlandLoud area on the weekends. Old building so the floor squeaks and you wake up every time one of the guests walks in their room. Over a pub so when I arrived at night in my room the whole room smelled of cigarette smoke eventhough my windows were closed. I had a double bed in my room but only a 1-person duvet that covered only half the bed and one pillow for some reason
Good location, walkable distance from the gare and the Congress center
