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...).

United States of AmericaI do not feel as comfortable without a 24/7 reception. I helped a man, who was stuck outside in the rain, and understandably in a panic, because he was never sent the code to receive his key from the lockbox.
The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was excellent each day with a lot of choices.

TurkeyThe curtains in the room were a surprise in the morning. As the sun had a rise just across the room, the curtains were too thin to block the light. We had to wake up early.
The hotel is right near the river and walking distance to city shopping street and main train station. The river side room view is very nice. Hotel also has a Italian restaurant on the ground floor. The rooms were large and clean. There is a car park (paid) nearby. The hotel can be reached by car as well (Many other hotels in old city are where cars can not enter). The internet on our floor was super.

AustraliaThey didn't say this, but reception is only open until 2pm. If I knew that, I wouldn't have booked as I like 24-hour reception, especially on check-in. They give you a pin to get into a key box. The thing with me is there was no key in the keybox, so I found out later that someone else got it. So, I had to go to the restaurant to be checked in, and the person had no idea what was going on or any idea of my booking. Then the next morning they told me I had to change rooms. It wasn't a great experience and wouldn't stay here again for the price and the inconvenience.
Great location. Has a lift, but you still have to take luggage up at least 4 stairs from the lift to your room. Walking distance from main train station, church and the Christmas markets are all around. Clean room.

United States of AmericaValue/Price it is a small hotel, outdated, old, a bit run down, it needs updating, of all our trip it was the most expensive per night, it made no sense to us.
The staff was nice, the location was excellent. Bottled water, tea, coffee sugar, soap and shampoo dispensers in the room. Size of the room is great, beds are comfortable. Honest Staff, I left something in the hotel and they immediately tried to reach me several times to let me know. Breakfast is simple but good.

United KingdomCould do with better/thicker curtains WiFi was patchy but we didn't spend much time at the hotel, we were on the 5th floor so maybe that is why.. we weren't too fussed Quite small room, was fine for us for a 2 night visit
Loved the location, loved our river view! We were so close to the Christmas markets and scenery! Was easy to find everything locally. Room was clean & fresh. Good selection of tea and coffee with coffee machine & kettle. Bottle of water provided each day. Staff helped us plan our day providing tips, directions & maps! Breakfast is fine, only hot option was eggs but there was plenty of hams, cheese, pate, salmon fresh rolls/bread, yoghurt, cereals, fruits etc to choose from. And good coffee & juice with breakfast. Easy to find and clear instructions for keys

GermanyThere is no A/C which might be a problem during the summer. Even in September, it was too hot in the room. Since it is on a street with many bars and restaurants, it can be a bit noisy in the evening and in the morning.
Top location, close to almost everything, nice river view from the windows. Big and spacious clean rooms. You don't expect this from the entrance of the hotel. Amenities are good, they even offer good quality shampoo, dental set, comb and other stuff.
