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 reviewVery friendly staff + funky, innovative room-design
In my room it was a little bit the case of concept over practicality, as the kind-of-cool presence of the open shower, in the middle of the bathroom-area, was fun but meant that after using it, it was impossible to go into the bathroom without getting my feet wet. My friend‘s room was also very nice and funky in its own way, but functional – without the practicality imbroglio.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very good. The bathroom in the media suite was outstanding, although the window into the shower is only partially able to be screened off, which may make some guests uncomfortable (there was an easy view into the upper level of the apartment block opposite)
I think that the design of the media suite room is now tired and dated. The furniture in the lounge area is uncomfortable, and the coverings of the lounging chair felt sticky. I am not really sold on the faux animal hide cover placed on the bed - again it gave the room a cheap, almost dirty vibe.

Verified reviewLocation was quite good. Convenient Parking available at additional cost. Room was a decent size.
We booked the double room which was not in the main building. However next building containing a restaurant/kitchen. Up old run down staircase to the room which had a very musty smell. Room was a decent size however the layout for the shower was terrible and showering on wooden decking planks that drain below like an outdoor shower was not favorable and smell was coming up from underneath. Toilet space is tiny even for small built people and like a public toilet open at the bottom and top opposite the bed. Decor not great especially the entry with gothic black and red lights looked more like red light district. The hotel has an apparent 4 star rating however these rooms definitely should not be. Very disappointing and if we didn’t pay for two nights in advance would have left after the first night. Customer service questionable too.

Verified reviewClose to UBahn, The hotel is charming and rooms have unique themes. We enjoyed the Titanic room, very well done and with a very comfortable waterbed. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful in sharing tips about where to eat and drink. We had an amazing meal at "5" a Michelin star restaurant within a 15 minute walk from the hotel which was arranged. by our host.
The location is remote from the busier and active part of town. Construction of a major highway is nearby and the general area did not meet our expectations or standards.

Verified reviewOutstanding customer service by young lad on reception., We were arriving early for Euro 2024 match and were stressed. However they had room ready early, he helped us park the car in the underground car park and then checked internet for us ref which was the correct fanzone. Room was quirky but lovely (Leela), very comfy bed and lovely shower. Room includes use of a safe. They own the cafe across the street- excellent beakfast (not included). Very central location in stuttgart - easily walkable in under 10 mins. Quiet cul de sac street
Nothing- a real gem to find at one of the busiest times of year after being let down by Air B n B !

Verified reviewBreakfast was really good, despite the fact that we had to eat in 1h15min time for it (which was actually enough, but that doesn't help to have a free minded time). Location is close to the city center by feet, very convenient. The shower inside and the bath outside are great!
A dirty towel has been left on the bed on the balcony. Having slippers would be very convenient in this room: as the wooden floor of the bathroom is almost always wet. Limited time for breakfast.
