Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The suite was clean and tidy, quite basic but comfortable and the location was fabulous - only 1 block from the Hotel de Ville and tram lines.

AustriaPretty old and many things are broken.. e.g. the hinges of the room door where broken.. the top 2 of 5 hinges.. you had to literally lift the door up from the ground to open it.. which was a pretty bad first impression.. the rest of the room was okay, but similarly is in dire need of renovation..
Great location, friendly staff.. fan available in the room.. size of the room and wifi was okay

FranceIf you're looking for a very comfortable place, this is not it, bed lacked comfort and could be changed. Perfect for a short stay though, not more.
The location is amazing, right in the center of town. The staff was nice and the facilities too: towels, microwave etc

MalaysiaThe housekeeping service is the worst. I believe it is the hotel's policy to not change the bedsheet unless it is necessary. I spent 7 days in this hotel. I asked my bedsheet to be changed on my 5th day at the reception desk but when I got back to my room it was still unchanged. On my 6th day I asked the housekeeper herself to change the bedsheet but instead of her changing it she handed to me fresh linens, bedsheet and pillow sheets to change them myself. Really?? That lazy, huh?? So housekeeping was not satisfactory and certainly my room was not being cleaned for 7 days, no replacements or top ups of soaps or teas and coffee sachets when I was there. The bathroom is really small so if you are a large size the shower area is enough to fit 1 adult. If you are small or medium size it can fit 2 but very little space. The room does not have AC but a stand AC is available. The room did get hot sometimes despite visiting St Etienne in September.
This hotel is the perfect location at the heart of St Etienne town. It is just walking distance to shops, eateries, restaurants, markets, convenience store and easily accessible by public transportation (bus and tram stops were nearby). The room is a nice size with ample facilities as described. Breakfast buffet at EUR 9 is worth it considering (I di not bother to take it but I noticed the spread was value for money) The receptionist can speak English. There are ample cooking facilities as well as plates and cutleries if you wish to eat in the room so that is really good.

HungaryPlease try to avoid to arrive in a city in rain. Specially if the city is a not so friendly place. And yes, if the description says, that there's hard to find a parking place - believe it, it's really hard to find a place for the car in St Etienne. We found one 800 m away (and felt ourselves lucky!), so it was pretty hard to organize the stuffs for a 6 member family in the constant rain... Residhotel is one more place which is hard to find - local people also can't navigate there. So, probably only we had a bad start there. But yes, the tea was great:)
The room-included tea filters and the electric water boiler saved our mental health.

FranceSomebody tried entering my apartment twice during the night - I assume somebody misread the number on the door, and the lock held on. I was a bit spooked but went back to bed straight away.
Nice stay for the money. Right in the city centre (very comfortable for a short holiday stay), kitchenette had a kettle among other things and bonus coffee/tea. Comfortable beds (I had 2 singles together), window was facing the backyard. When people walk/talk in the hallway, or turn on the lights, you will hear and see the light coming from under the door, but good thing was there were actually 2 doors, so you can shield yourself from all the noise.
