Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

GermanyIf you are travelling with your own/rental car, this can be trickly. Firstly there's restricted zones which you must avoid and it's not easy to know (even with Google Maps) which roads are allowed and which roads are not allowed. You need to buy the restricted zone access everyday you wish to take your car out/in. Moreover, parking is a stress at the hotel - there's always a military car waiting near the hotel entrance asking you to move your car immediately even before the Vallet comes to park your car.
The property itself is a gem. It's like living in heritage property. The location is fabulous and absolutely in the midst of most happening place but yet private and calm. Staffs are fantastic!!! Finally, breakfast is really good and the ambience is such that you would want to sit and enjoy your morning coffee to the fullest. Rooms were sufficiently big for our needs, clean and overall very happy with the stay.

United StatesSmoking allowed in lobby. Had to pay an extra person charge when we were just two people (husband and wife) in a room with a king-sized bed. Was told the price I was quoted was based on one person only. Our room was already pretty pricey so with the added fee it was fairly expensive.
Beautiful rooms and hotel. Quiet location. Extremely clean room with beautiful linens.

United KingdomWe have stayed here several times over the last 15 years and are sad that the level of service has declined considerably. At reception there was a long wait for check out as THREE staff dealt with one group of guests who were querying a booking. It was only when I asked a member of staff in an office to help us that we finally settled our bill. Trying to be served a drink in the courtyard was time consuming and unnecessarily stressful. Come on! We are your guests- treat us with respect!
This is an incredible hotel! The building is amazing. The rooms are beautiful and so quiet. Breakfast is a feast and the staff are attentive and efficient.

Being a more than 200 years old building converted into a very beautiful hotel with specious old fashioned yet modern rooms. Location was super excellent and courtyard is peaceful. However, Price was high.
