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 reviewLarge well-furnished room. Quiet but handy location. Good value for money.
You pick up your key from a box and fill in a form saying what you want for breakfast. You put the form in a box, although I didn't think the location of this box was obvious. The hotel is unstaffed after breakfast. There's a landline number, although I didn't get a reply when I used it. The mobile number appeared to be out of service. I'm not saying I didn't 'like' any of this, although some people might think it's a bit of a palaver. (No lift, although this didn't bother me.) The place would look more attractive if there were no graffiti on the walls (although graffiti is a general problem everywhere in Germany).

Verified reviewThe rooms are still spacious and have a nice homelike atmosphere to them. The location is great, the room was still very quiet.
I've stayed at this hotel a few times over the past 15 years. Unfortunately, it has been going downhill, the carpets are torn (and probably more than 20 years old), the bed was squeaking, the TV guide shows station that went out of business more than 5 years ago, the wifi is of pre-Youtube standard. The service is minimal and unhelpful, it is the first hotel I've encountered that refused to store luggage for an afternoon. It is sad to see this place going downhill.

Verified reviewThe location is very close to the city center, with restaurants and the university nearby
- the reception is closed the whole day except breakfast - When I arrived and couldn’t find the key box (hidden in some backyard behind a sketchy metal gate) I had to call many different numbers because the number give by message wasn’t available. The building looked almost abandoned so that I thought I’d been scammed until finally someone called me back and very unfriendly told me how to get the keys - the building is a series of complex corridors with no light that made it frankly quite scary for a woman traveling alone knowing that the reception was not open… - one has to book the breakfast and set the time in advance and then walk through the named corridors to put the list into a box. It makes it all very stressful and plus the list was only given on the first day, so no option to change afterwards - the breakfast itself is ok but some items seemed to have been there for several days so that on the second day of my stay the milk tasted a bit sour… - the internet was barely working which was a problem for me since I was planning to have some online meetings from there, so that I had to find an alternative on the fly - the room was freezing cold and I had to sleep with my clothes on in the first night because no one had bothered to pre-heat the room to a livable minimum - all of this for 80eur per night, is clearly overpriced

Verified reviewGood location in the center
No reception, not easy to find keys or entrance, room was very basic. Real problem was the smell in the room. Damp or sweaty maybe? Smell came from the bedsheets. Shower gel was in ketchup-like satchels. Had to bite it open. Mattress was old, used, not comfortable.

Verified reviewGood location in a very cool city. 10-15 minute walk from the station right next to a large number of restaurants. Easy check-in and nice breakfast
The hotel is a bit older, so expect that. Parts of the carpet are visibly worn and I could feel every spring in my bed. But the staff was nice and I enjoyed my experience
