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):
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.
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.).

LatviaBreakfast was exquisite and served à la carte, with delicious vegan options available. The hotel is located right by the shopping street, yet the rooms were very quiet and perfect for restful sleep.

United StatesThe AC was not great. I also think I would like it more if there was some kind of curtain that closed off the bathroom area.
I loved the atmosphere of the hotel, beautifully decorated. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The proximity to the Ubahn station was a bonus.

United KingdomAlthough the breakfast sounds worth it as a treat, it's rather pricey. An alternative, slightly more affordable option could be nice. Only a couple of very minor complaints on the room: one bed-side shelf didn't have its only plug, which was a bit awkward for charging phones. It was also slightly lacking in storage space, so we had to be a bit inventive on how to organise our clothes for the week. But this wasn't really a big problem at all.
A very stylish hotel, they really run with the theme and you'll either love that or not I suppose. We loved it. The staff were really helpful and friendly, making us feel really welcomed. We really liked the bar in the evening, although it is rather pricey (although I guess you're paying for the atmosphere). There's a nice lounge area, which we often met in, in the morning, for a quick (free) coffee before heading out. We didn't have breakfast (again, it's somewhat pricey), but another vegan couple we were visiting with said it was great and we regretted not trying it for at least one morning. Our room was lovely: clean, nicely decorated and cosy, with well-chosen decorations and lighting.

United StatesI liked everything, but people with mobility challenges should note that it’s not fully accessible. There are are several steps up from the ground level to the reception and elevator; from the elevator on the third floor, I had to go down several steps to get to the room. This was all fine for me, but if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be comfortable for you. (I did not ask about accommodations and perhaps they have alternatives to the stairs. The staff is very attentive.)
The design is top notch and really sincere… this is not a boring box hotel that they dressed up with some art… every detail is thoughtful, authentic, rich. It’s a sincerely cool and comfortable place! The absolutely sensational breakfast that can be served to the room at no additional charge felt like a true luxury. Even staying in the smallest single room, this place felt like a treat. Returning to a (very average and fine) chain hotel for the next part of my trip was real let-down that underscored just how great it felt to be at Die Josefine.

AustriaThe elevator was a little slow. The tables in the room and the breakfast room were also a little small. These are relatively minor complaints but slightly bigger tables would be much nicer. But nothing else to complain about.
This was my second stay at Hotel Josefine and everything was quite impressive. The location is really nice and close to the center. The hotel itself is quite charming and romantic. The room was very clean. The staff is very kind and attentive. The breakfast is incredible.

DenmarkI was a bit surprised to find that my room didn’t have a kettle or tea/coffee facilities, which was a little disappointing after a long day. I tried to use the 'honesty bar' downstairs, but it seemed very self-service - the coffee machine was tucked away in a cabinet, and after being out all day, I didn’t really feel like wandering around the hotel trying to figure out how to get a cup of tea.
A fantastic small hotel with a super stylish design and a unique, interesting room layout. The location is excellent - right next to a metro station, with plenty of shops and cafés nearby, and within walking distance to the city centre. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, probably the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced in a hotel, making it hard to get up in the morning! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and a true pleasure to interact with throughout my stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would happily return.

The hotel was one of more unique and memorable hotels I have stayed in. Very clean with the most wonderful decor! I did not have the breakfast, as we had early morning sightseeing, however the lounge Barfly was very cool and the reading/music room was perfect for sipping a cup of coffee.

The room itself was very beautiful (its decor is irreplaceable), spacious yet cosy and clean and fully equipped. Additionally, the hotel is located near the underground station, so it is a great starting point for sightseeing.
