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...).

TurkeyMy room was on the top floor, and there was no lift. I was staying for one night only, so I didn't have a big suitcase. Otherwise, it could be a problem.
The location was easily accessible from the central train station. The room was tiny but cozy with a comfy bed. The shower and washroom were outside the room but still OK as they were clean and designated to my room. I like the breakfast, but an addiction of more pastries can improve it.

HungaryPerfect locarion, nice breakfast buffet, friendly staff, the normal room is absolutely comfortable and stylish, view to river Rhein, fantastic! The small rooms are real...well, small. The price difference is peanuts, so book the bigger room if available. The restaurant is decorated with hundreds of paintings, candles and has a strong historic atmosphere. We loved it! Thanks for everything!

GermanyThe double beds had separate frame so a very uncomfortable wood piece between the two beds. Also, the bathroom door, which was a frosted glass, was filthy.
Everything was clean except the glass bathroom door, which looked like it had never been cleaned. But staff were friendly and helpful. Also, it was very quiet even though the restaurant was just below. I love the proximity to Kölner Dom, the Italian ice cream shop, and the Jazz club.

United States of AmericaIt was a little awkward checking in; as I was checking in after 2200, the reception desk was closed, so I had to check in at the bar. There wasn't a notice that I could see explaining where to check in.
The location is great-walking distance to many attractions in Koln, and right on the river. The building is very quaint with a lot of history. The breakfast buffet was excellent. I would definitely stay there again.

AustraliaIt’s clear in the description but guests should be aware that reception is on the first floor and it’s at least another floor up to accomodation. There isn’t any lift to bring up heavy luggage.
Cute decor and cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff had provided us with everything we needed including slippers! Breakfast was also delicious and lots of options were available.

United KingdomDidn’t top up the complimentary water daily unless it was completely empty. Sometimes the provision of milk pods for hot drinks in the room was not topped up enough. Minor issues but stated to hopefully improve for future guests.
Great location for the old town and Xmas markets. Traditional feeling bar/restaurant with hotel above. Clean, large room with river view was fab. No noise heard from bar below or other rooms. Air con/heating worked great with minimal noise. Food was nice in the restaurant.
