How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood location, comfortable bed and quiet area.
Instructions for check in should be more clear, and host took a while to respond. Also, the rug in the common bathroom was always wet, which was a bit annoying. Its self check in, but only until 10pm.

Verified reviewGreat location. Nice and spacious room. Walking distance to Museum quarter, Schobrunner palace (like 15-30 min max). Close to Mariahlife street, where you can find restaurants, shopping malls, etc.
One shower room for 8 rooms! When booking, I knew it would be a common shower, but I didn't realize it is for 8 rooms (= 16 people or more). It was impossible to get there in the evening or morning - always busy. If a woman enters the shower -it is a 30 min waiting. Especially that she had long hair and she dried it there (where the hairdryer is). So if you have plans for the morning, just forget about taking a shower. Then - the hygienic aspect - hairs in the shower, beahhh. I noticed that the cleaning happened in the afternoon, BUT if you shower in the morning after somebody (and yes, there is a line to wait so not too much time to clean afterwards), it is the hairs (it happened with male hair - and I just refused to enter the bath, and the next morning with long lady hair that blocked the drainage). This is just not hygienic.

Verified reviewI couldn;'t find the address on Google Maps so emailed and SMSd the owner an hour or two before I arrived. Unfortunately he did not reply and I ended up at the wrong location. I had to phone and only then did he send me the directions (which were very thorough). On arrival I joined a queue of people trying to get into the appartment, whose codes did not work. Eventually one managed to get in and after that everything was good.

Verified reviewThe location is close to Marihifle strasse, a 10-minute walk away.
I had a hard time finding accommodation even though it was close to the centre. Room number 1 was not marked. The bed was anything but comfortable. It creaked terribly, which I informed the owner about, but he said he would fix it when I left the accommodation.

Verified reviewIt has a very ideal location and for the price it’s very good!
I think it has to do with a bit of luck but when I was staying there the other guests were very unhygienic and the bathroom was super dirty (not sure how often they clean it..) and my room was next to the bathroom - a lot of people were showering late in the night and it was super noisy

Verified reviewThe place is very well located in an old, well kept building and is very quiet at night. It was done up recently and everything is clean. I liked the way they decorated it in a style that reminded the Secession art movement. The water was warm for the shower and there is a small kitchen which can be very useful.
There is nothing that I didn't like, but it would be nice to have a few saucepans for cooking.. Another thing that was not a problem for me as the weather was nice, but in winter, the bedding should be a bit warmer (blankets and thicker duvets would be great)
