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 reviewClean apartment in a convenient location, just a short walk from a metro station. It offers a handy little kitchen (which we didn’t get to use on our short stay), all the basic amenities, and feels quite spacious.
The property is older, with some dated interiors and normal wear and tear, and being on the ground floor means you may hear people passing by during the day, though it was generally quiet at night.

Verified reviewIt was a nice room and the kitchen and bathroom facilities were good. If you use bikes the location is also good. The owner was kind and showed us how to get around and where to see.
We were sharing the apartment with an elderly man who seemed to be there long term ? This made things slightly awkward as it felt like we were living in his apartment and he gave out to us for doing things “wrong” on occasion. Also the sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable.

Verified reviewI liked the pillows in the bed.
The surrounding was pretty loud due to the construction side outside. We missed bowls in the kitchen. The plug of the extension cable on the bed was broken.

Verified reviewThe room was fairly large. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was also nice.
I have a dust and mite allergy, which flared up really bad even though I took antihistamines, probably because of the bed. Since the rest of the room looked clean. Consider this when deciding on accomodation.

Verified reviewThe place located in the nice and quiet district with a lot of restaurants nearby - including one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The host very helpful and providing useful info. Room cozy and convenient - old building but all good maintained. Very clean bathroom. Nice space for bikes - backyard with roofed space with racks. Very good for this price.
This is a little old building with some vibe of student hostel, but this is really a minor thing.

Verified reviewHostel a little bit outside of the city center, outside of noise or tourists. Thanks to the location we went to see beautiful park Schonbrunn. The hostel is actually a small apartment with a kitchen (stove, kettle, fridge, etc) and a bathroom. Comfortable bed. Very friendly person welcomed us.
WiFi was not perfect.

Verified reviewVery hospitable host, really warm welcome. The kitchen was fully equipped and spacious. Everything was clean, the bedsheets smelled nice. Westbahnhof, the railway station, is only a short walk away and it has train and subway connections to the city centre or anywhere you want to go.
Although the room was cleaned very well by the staff, there was a sizeable patch of mold on the wall (about 25cm radius) and it smelled musty upon entering the room. Seemed like a health hazard. I think the place could do with some maintenance at the end of the season. I'd raise the rating to a 7 if it wasn't for the mold.
