Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

AustraliaI'm not used to staying in a 'hotel' with only remote staff, but that was OK as the telephone contact was excellent. Noisy room facing street. Inadequate curtains.
Well equipped suite. Exactly as described in the adverts. Good location. Spacious room. Excellent telephone help when needed. Answered promptly. Not chatGPT.

GermanyThe sofa bed was not comfortable, and it was making noises at every turn.
Clean convenient apartment hotel for a group of 4. Checkin process seems bit tedious, but it was practical and felt safer than many other online hotel checkin systems.

United KingdomThe inane and long winded check-in procedure before even arriving. Uploading id's, selfie picture...if I could drop 1 1/2 stars I would. The apartment fabulous, the check-in procedure and absolute pain.
Everything..the apartments location, 10 mins walking from station, restaurants bars and cafes nearby. The apartment was fully equipped, fridge microwave, two burner hotplate, dishwasher, coffee machine. Fabulous shower bathroom, comfortable bed.

ChinaThe check-in time is a little late. Not very easy to find it on the street since there is no sign out of the building that tells the name of it.
It’s very close to the train station, there are good shops around, for food, shopping, eating. The bed is very nice, I like it. The room is not big, but it’s organized with good design.

IsraelIt's a digital hotel, so there's no staff. There was a slight clogged in the shower and I didn't find an option to communicate it.
The information was clearly communicated online. It's like a tiny apartment, which is suitable for business trips. There was space, clean room, privacy and everything one can wish for an end of a working day.

United KingdomThe only thing I would suggest is fitting aircon rather than a fan as having the windows open you could hear the church bells from early. But this wouldn’t stop me from staying again.
The location was amazing. The apartment was compact but had everything you needed. It was clean and the bathroom and shower were lovely.

Germanyno air conditioner, room was a bit small but okay, noise for other rooms and outside, and the view from the window is not wow, we also had the smell from bathroom like some cat pissed there.. i guess it was from the ventilation. and the last thing i expected - they fined us 5️⃣0️⃣€ for messy room (dirty dishes and little mess) like i guess it is not actually fair and it’s just not right thing. like these was weird for me. apologies from us if the room was actually messy but we didn’t ruin or break something, just dirty dishes…🙄 anyway, besides this staying there was good.
the apartment is good, clean and comfortable. we enjoyed staying there. tv works great. the bed is really big and comfortable. really close to bahnhof. we were pleased that they left some tea, sugar and coffee cream. and it was a good value for money. (unless they find us, read there 👇🏻)

United KingdomThe place is generally very nice, but there's clearly still some teething issues to be ironed out. The main problem was that the shower in my room didn't drain and therefore flooded. Isn't the kind of thing you want to be dealing with on a business trip. On top of this the dishwasher hadn't been emptied by the cleaners and there were no hangers for clothes, despite there being a wardrobe. That said, when I contacted the support they were always very polite and helpful. They moved me to another room for the second night and provided hangers.
Property is very clean and comfortable. Is also well located in the centre of Essen. Despite the few hiccups I mentioned in the "didn't like" section, I would book again.
