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.).

GermanyI need gluten free bread. We payed for bed and breakfast (which is not cheap) and the person in charge of the restaurant put me problems or limitations every day when I asked for my bread. They didn't want to give me "too many bread buns", or brought me 2 when I asked for 3, or brought me no muffin, only after repeated requests. It's embarrassing that such a fancy and expensive place is greedy concerning a couple of bread buns, specially taking into account that all the other clients could take as much as they wanted.
Comfortable, beautiful, good location.

United KingdomOur double bed had three (?) pillows, could have done with one more. Had a welcome gift in our room which was meant for another customer. At checkout I was asked to pay tourist tax, which I had done at check in. Just little things but it seemed a bit disorganised. Staff expect customers to use the app for everything but I would prefer a more personal touch.
Fantastic location. Nice quiet rooms, interesting architecture

NorwaySmall note but I'm not a huge fan of the type of soap used... smelled quite like "plastic". Aside from this, zero complaints.
This was a VERY unique location. I have stayed in Hamburg before and chose this due to its proximity to the surrounding restaurants. It was very clean and comfortable!

GermanyThe reception staff was not very responsive upon my arrival, despite only one other customer being served. Noone seemed to feel responsible for me among the people in the background and 2 out of 3 reception ccounters were empty (18h pm). Furthermore, I found the breakfast cue annoying. Instead of different stations with food, the main presentation is along a long buffeet in which one has to cue youth-hostel style.. And the Brötchen were pretty dry. For the image of the hotel I had expected a more imaginative breakfast.
I liked the re-build and re-use of this old building very much, cool round shape, nice and modern hotel rooms with fancy glass walls between room and bathroom, nice views. Location in 'Schanze' is exceellent, the Cave ambient around the reception and Lobby area is great.

GermanyThe room was too warm and didn't really get cooler from using the temperature regulating system. Opening the windows was not really an option in the evening as the street and park below was rather loud.
The hotel building itself - an old watertower - is impressive and very nicely furnished with a rather classy feel to it. The room was nice and clean with room enough for two visitors. The hotel was well connected as there is a subway station right nextdoors.

FinlandWhen arriving, I had blood on my bed. After complaining at the reception, they offered me a new room at a lower level. I would have expected to have, at least a same kind of room (or some reimbursement), considering that the view from the rooms is one of the greatest things at this hotel. On Saturday morning, we had to wake up to a fire alarm at 8am and evacuate the building, which was a false alarm. As a professional firefighter, I was not either impressed on how the staff handled the alarm. I was finally offered one drink on the house at the bar, but after paying almost 500€ for two nights, I would have expected some kind of reimbursement due to the quality and price of this hotel. Unfortunately, my experience didn't follow my expectations this time.
Nicely renovated hotel after being a gas building before. Breakfast was good and location handy with the public transport.
