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. There were separate male and female toilet and showers that I liked. It was clean and tidy.
Smelt of smoke, not sure if it was people smoking outside coming in. The bed wasn't very comfortable but I was only staying one night so it was fine.

Verified reviewI stopped for one night during my ride around the Bodensee. for the price for a solo traveler, it was everything I expected and needed. The room was clean and comfortable, simple yet spacious enough to allow for movement. Big window to let in fresh air, and plenty of bathroom facilities across the hall. I also appreciated being able to park my bicycle in the interior corridor.
A cat must have made itself at home in the clean laundry at some point... my shower towel reeked of cat urine as soon as it became wet. Thankfully I brought my own. My room was right above the door that separated the restaurant/bar downstairs from the toilets... every time a bar guest went to the loo between 10pm and 2am and opened/closed the door, I woke up.

My only slight issues were the time I had to be back there for in the evening which was 10pm and the proximity of the main road.

Verified reviewIt was a private room with shared bath and shower. Private entrance. Free Wifi. The host was very friendly and had a map of the town to share which was very helpful.
There was no elevator. Beautiful staircase but if you're traveling with luggage something to keep in mind.

Verified reviewI arrived quite late and the lady was very accommodating. Communication on the messaging app was great and she replied very quickly. The last who greeted me was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was good and considering this was one of the cheapest places I could find I was very impressed. I had a single bed, plenty of sockets to charge my devices and a shared shower room next door. Everything was clean and tidy. Location was excellent, it’s located just underneath the castle and just a few steps from the waterfront. The town is a few minutes walk away and the huge waterfall is a 45-60 minute stroll along the river. Is be happy to stay here again especially if the price is right.

Verified reviewVery central location. Host very helpful and looked after our bikes. Rooms comfortable but bit dated. Good stopover for our cycle trip along the Rhine.
Public areas very smoky as bar downstairs was busy and allowed smoking. Bathroom small but ok. Needs an update.
