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.).

GermanyBreakfast was 20€ per person which was fine but discovered after arriving back home and looking at the bill that we had to pay extra for the breakfast beverages. Next time I‘ll ask beforehand if drinks are included.
Very good location directly across the Alster, not far from the main station. Room was comfy, water pressure in the shower was great. Breakfast buffet was good

GermanyIt has everything you need for a short stay, however there could be some more amenities like water bottles, a kettle or coffee machine, but that’s nothing big.
Located in St. Georg with bars, cafes and restaurants close to the alster lake and close to the main station was so handy! It has also parking lots for cars (12€/day) Also the stuff was very friendly and helpful.

GermanyWe had a wonderful room with a view over the Alster. Whilst it was raining it didn't dampen our spirits as we used the central location to visit parts of Hamburg using the public transport. The bus stop was just around the corner with the journey to Hauptbanhof just being a few minutes away. Breakfast of all sorts were available - fruits, juices, cereals, cold cheeses and meats as well as breads and pastries. There were also hot options including scrambled or boiled eggs, bacon and beans. A vegan frikadelle was also available. A selection of tea and coffee to round things off. It was my wife's birthday and they offered us a birthday experience with a beautifully decorated table looking out over the Alster. Complimentary celebratory cake and champagne was also included.

IrelandWe booked a lake view comfort room (with a price difference from a smaller room and not lake view) but we were given a no-lake view. There’s confusion on booking.com and hotel itself on booking a lake view as we were advised you have to specifically request for it… Moving on… The first room given to us was not clean (toilet has “leftovers”) and we had to transfer to another room. We were advised by the staff that she’ll hand the new key to us in the new room but never came. So.. We went to reception to check new key but no staff were there and had to wait about 20 mins. Overall unlucky and we only stayed for a night and very looking forward to that lake view.. Hope this experience is helpful.
Location is sort of convenient

AustraliaI had upgraded to a room with a view of the lake following a prompt from booking.com that I could secure one for a higher rate after my initial booking; when I arrived the staff advised that a view of the lake wasn’t guaranteed for that rate and my room faced the car park. It was also noisy from other rooms and the hallway

SwedenTerrible pillows! No aircondition… avoid this Hotel during warm summer period. A bit dated… not 100% ’fresh feeling’. Will make another choice next time in Hamburg.

United StatesApartments across the street were able to look straight into the room. I had to close the curtains, which made the room seem like a dark cave. The floors in the room are luxury vinyl planks, including in the floor above me. I could hear every step the took and every time the chair was loudly moved around. This often happened until midnight or later. There's a good reason that most hotels have carpets.

NetherlandsAt €18 the breakfast is a bit expensive in my view. The parking garage entrance looked very narrow, I didn't even try to use it. The Wifi connection was on and off in my room.
Nice room in a quiet area, a minute walk from the Lange Reihe with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Good size room for it being a one person room. The room is nicely decorated and has a comfy seat.

CroatiaThe bathroom is very small, everything has a feeling of old and/or cheap (furnishing, corridors, elevator). The fridge wasnt working, also there are no phones in the rooms. The explanation was something to do with them losing the adjacent building to someone (real owner?), I didnt catch the story.
It is silent, you can sleep quite well. The bed was comfy enough I guess. Also the price is good compared to other properties in Hamburg, especially on last notice. The receptionists were polite and helpful

AustraliaNothing much- the hotel met my expectations. No air-conditioning during a hot spell in Hamburg but this would have been asking too much as very few places in Europe have air con.
Great location for visiting Hamburg. Along the Alster so good for walking around the lake and in the street behind the hotel lots of eating places. It is a convenient 3 stop bus ride from Hamburg central station. The hotel had a section across the courtyard which was not facing the busy road and made for a quieter position. Didn't try the breakfast but plenty of choices nearby.
