How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewOlder hotel in a great location and central to all the museums and tourist attractions as well as restaurants and coffee shops. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious. Breakfast was very good as was the coffee.
The shower didn’t drain properly.

Verified reviewThe staff were all so lovely. The location was perfect, just moments away from Stephansplatz and the U-bahn. The room was very comfortable and bigger than I'd expected for a single room. The hotel was charming and it felt like a home away from home.
The AC unit randomly made crackly/banging noises, which wasn't great in the middle of the night. Also, the blackout portion of the window dressings didn't cover the entire window.

Towels are too small. The tub for taking the shower is ok but very hard to get in and out of for seniors. Coat of breakfasts is very high.

Verified reviewLocation near the subway was nice. Rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.
We did not use the hotel breakfast as it looked meager for such a nice place. However, there are many options nearby so this is only a minor quibble.

Verified reviewMy flight arrived early in the morning, and I was told they'd be happy to store my luggage til check in at 3. They saw that I was tired and invited to rest in the lobby. A half hour later they came and told me my room was ready! What a life saver! I loved my room-- super high ceilings, thoughtfully furnished and ultra clean.
I really did like everything! I highly recommend this hotel. So centrally located but on a quiet side street off of Kartnerstrasse.

Verified reviewhotel is the center of the city
The Hotel room’s price was EUR 81 cheaper at the Hotel’s own web site. I applied to Booking.com for price match and they accepted my application. But then I couldn’t get refund. Booking.com doesn’t even reply my emails. I feel disappointed.
Dear hotel guest, thank you for your message. However, it is a pity that you are now drawing this conclusion after your stay. It was ultimately your own decision which booking option you chose, a travel agency, an online-travelagent, directly, just your decision. Of course, price differences can always occur, many factors can influence this. We always offer several options, refundable, non-refundable, including or excluding breakfast. You chose a non-refundable rate at Booking.com, once booked there is no refund, therefore a discount is calculated in the rate, just your decision. With kindest regards from Vienna HOTEL KAISERIN ELISABETH Andrea Holland Resident Manager

Verified reviewBreakfast disappointing.Previously better food
not a great selection and too expensive
Dear hotel guest, thank you for your kind review. It's a pity you did not provide us with more details. If you book our breakfast at the same time as your room reservation, the rate remains unchanged since many years at EUR 16,- per person. This hotel breakfast rate is nowhere near to be found in our area. This is a long-standing advantage that we offer our guests. Furthermore, we have continually expanded our breakfast buffet selection over the past two years, Our offering has been continually expanded. Our warm dishes are always prepared with a great variety. Sorry that you did not experience it this time. Still we hope to welcome you soon again, and beg to remain with kindest regards from Vienna HOTEL KAISERIN ELISABETH Andrea Holland Resident Manager
