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...).

GermanyWe were totally surprised and then happy when our corner room, booked only several days before and located on the 3rd floor of this small but very fine hotel, had a slanted ceiling, a dormer window and skylights, offered us a superb and unexpected view of the River, the Castle and the Old Bridge -- and the entire Skyline inbetween. Wow! And this on New Years Eve when throngs of people were on the streets shooting off their fireworks over the Bridge, the river, the town... What a show! And we had the crow' nest view. And when we had enjoyed it all, we closed the skylights and the room was totally quiet although the Party on the streets below continued well into the night. The little bathroom was bright and modern, the beds totally comfortable. Breakfast offered everything one could wish for and was served in an old, charming, beautiful, vaultet-ceiling cellar under the hotel. This hotel is a Heidelberg gem and we shall definitely return.

Costa RicaOne of the best breakfasts we have ever had. The location is great because it is in the Altstadt but also right next to the bus station in case you get to Heidelberg by train. Great, comfortable and very clean room. Finally, a very nice and communicative staff. Highly recommend.

United States of AmericaThe small step down into the bathroom is what stubbed toes are made of, so definitely pay attention! There's also no parking close to the hotel, so if you have a car you'll want to drop your bag off and then go to a nearby parking garage (the closest one is less than a 10 minute walk away).
This is a great little hotel on the river, right on the edge of Heidelberg's Old Town. You can walk to all the main sites from the hotel. Breakfast in the historic cellar was very cool. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and the staff is very nice. We were even able to check in early.

Sound proofed tall windows afforded us a lovely view. An easy walk to quaint streets, the market square, the Old Bridge & Heidelberg Castle. Jessica & Chris were very accommodating and helpful. Very thorough directions/instructions for loading/unloading & where to park were provided ahead of time. Breakfast in the cellar was exceptional!

United States of AmericaNo problems. I'd happily go back.
The room was a tiny single room "unter dach" (under the eaves). But it had a nice attached bath, a comfy bed, and a great view (see photo below, taken from the hallway outside my room). The location can't be beat (just steps from the alte Brücke (the old bridge) and the Haupt Strasse (the main pedestrian street). And yet it was quiet. And the breakfast was quite nice as well.

United KingdomA room overlooking the river would have been nice but I didn’t know there were any when booking as the booking.com site really only looks for hotels in an area. This maybe my lack of internet use and maybe I missed clicking on a particular room, having said that I still liked the room I was in.
Great location, room was comfortable, shower was always hot, no noise from outside on my side of the hotel, breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly.
