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.).

The garage is rather narrow and somewhat challenging to park in, especially if you have a slightly larger car. The beds were okay, but the pillows were too soft. I think having both a softer and a firmer pillow available could add to the comfort here.
The room and bathroom are nicely spacious, cozy and clean. The self-check-in was easy to use, and it’s quick to get to the city center from the hotel without being in the middle of the chaos. The location is definitely good.

Room ceiling and bathroom reminded of military base, the beds were really uncomfortable and duvet too small. Location is very off- it maybe ideal for travelers, but aside of that there was nothing.
Self checkin, modern furnishings. Bistro downstairs was nice and lively.

A bit too sophisticated... One should be quite tech savy to manage and getting around with everything.. Having keys is dependent on phone and internet connection which is scarce in the garage and the wifi is hard to get (a text message is needed to be received but usually isnt). One of the group was also checked out prematuraly and couldnt enter the room anymore in the morning. The power and blinds switches are not easy to use and quite confusing (too sphisticated. There is quite a loud noise from the street.
Very modern hotel. Good parking. Modern big room. Hard comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Good tasty dinner in the restaurant downstairs.

We booked 2 rooms. My room's A/C was fine. The other room had an A/C that was slightly noisy but it wasn't a huge problem.
Air-conditioning was superb!! Very comfortable beds. Very clean, modern and new hotel. Check-in, getting digital keys was all seamless. No issues at all. Right at the highway, but totally quiet. Didn't hear any traffic at all.

I suggest having a telephone - hot line ready to explain to guests that the hotel is indeed smart and that everything works via the smartphone.
Big generous family room. Great bathroom facilities lots of storage for luggage. There hotel was indeed a smart hotel with no staff directly on hand. This took a bit of getting used to be but surprisingly we managed without a glitch.
