Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Excellent location lots of personal touches to make you feel most welcome including personal napkins and lovely authentic crockery representing the region and old fashioned hospitality. Lacking in so many modern hotels .

New ZealandQuick walk from the station and thus close to the cathedral, the star of Cologne of course. Reception staff were outstanding and met every request cheerfully and professionally. Breakfast was also outstanding: huge selection including a range of fresh fruit. I was delighted to eat Cape gooseberries ( physalis)which I haven't had for about 50 years!

United KingdomThe hotel is very well kept but it should have been updated many years ago - it doesn't have air con or a fan in the bathroom.
A family friendly, family run hotel in a very central location. Well priced, with an excellent breakfast and efficient staff.

NetherlandsThe beds are a little harder than we had hoped but not a big issue. The rooms got a bit too warm (quite fast) so it's great that you can control the airconditioning to help cool down. I would have appreciated more warm vegetarian options (for ex., vegetarian sausages) for breakfast but there are also cheeses etc. to choose from at the buffet.
A cute hotel with an amazing location (just a two minute walk from the station!) The staff was friendly and always available at the front desk. And even though the breakfast wasn't very extravagant, the food was fresh and tasty and a good way to start the morning. With the airconditioning on the rooms are quite pleasant and a good place to wind down.

United KingdomJust a personal preference, we like tea/coffee making facilities in the room, it didn't have any.
Location was easy to find, just around corner from the main railway station. Staff were very good, welcoming. Rooms were excellent, good size, clean. Great shower and plenty of towels. Breakfast was very good, excellent choices and all fresh. Great value for money. Would definitely be my hotel of choice for Cologne and will recommend to anyone travelling there.

United StatesThe WiFi was a bit spotty - I was at the end of the corridor.
The location is great: a couple of hundred meters from the main train station. My single room was small, and fairly basic, but the bedding was comfortable, and there was a great shower and a small balcony with a bit of a view. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, and the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. 24x7 reception.
