Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There weren’t enough staff. For example, when we asked for an ironing machine, they told us to come and collect it ourselves because they didn’t have enough staff available.
The staff were very kind, professional, and always willing to help. They made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my visit

Hotel is little bit older. Especially carpets have some smudges. So it doesn’t look clean. The location is far from any shops, restaurants or so.
I had single room. Everything was OK. Standard room. I didn’t use any other utilities so I can’t advise. Even close to motorway, with closed window, room was quiet. For business trip it was quite good.

United Kingdom2 Reviews1 helpful vote8.0“Another amazing stay in Groningen”- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The only 'complaint' I have is with the air conditioning. My room was exposed to the sun for most of the day, so it tended to warm up. Even with the air conditioning set to its highest setting, it did not seem to cool the room much. This meant opening the windows during the evening and night; this is typically not a problem, but with a room facing the main motorway, there was a lot of traffic noise in the evenings and very early mornings. This did not cause too much trouble as we stayed in March, but I wonder how it would differ in the summer when the temperatures are higher. Despite this, I would be delighted to stay here again.
Everything about my stay was up to expectations. I stayed once before, a few years ago, and had no complaints. Following this most recent stay, my opinions remain unchanged. The staff were lovely, the facilities were excellent, and accessibility to public transport into the city centre was amazing.

Parking, and signage for entrance to hotel were not ideal, but just a minor hurdle.
Bartender was very friendly and stayed open for us after the basketball game next door. The shower had great water pressure and temperature, The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable., and the mini bar had everything needed after a long drive. The front desk was very friendly and efficient, both at check in and checkout. Best place to stay for attending events at the Martini Plaza.

Location is a bit further from the city center, BUT there is free and sufficient parking and easy access to the motorway (if no road works).
Usual standard that can be expected from a Mercure hotel: spacious, modern, quiet room; professional, experienced staff and a very good variety and quality for breakfast. Free and sufficient parking facilities.
