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.).

RomaniaWell.. we were warned about the toilet and shower flushing noise, but I did not quite imagine the choir of people flushing their toilets all.around the building. Though, we did eventually got used to it and we managed to sleep. The bigger problem, for me was the fact that the sheets seemed to be ... if not dusty, then something. The blanket under the cover had a blood stain, and the towels in the bathroom, had holes in them. Also ... the room had a view to the interior of the building, so be careful to check that if you are looking for a room with a view. Of some sort.
The location is wonderful. Right close to the river and the boat station. The view is also gorgeous. The restaurant located at the last level is a huge plus, as you can have a first row seat to probably one of the best views in Hamburg. The room had a good size and there was a kettle and tea ready to he used.

IndiaReception at the top floor! Always irks me but well that's also one of the reasons I remember GINN Hamburg! Bathrooms can feel bit cramped but its fine
Breakfast has a decent spread with multiple options to suit different individual tastes. Staff was helpful and speaks fluent English and Deutsch. Rooms have nice views of the harbor yet are relatively quiet. Bathrooms are compact but functional and elegant.

United KingdomI didn’t see any staff for the entirety off my stay. I’d describe it more as a modern boarding house rather than a hotel. All doors open by key codes which proved to be very difficult to operate. When I arrived the steps up to the entrance were blocked by drinking concert visitors.
Nice modern hotel at harbour side location

Czech RepublicI got a room next to the main road, and since the windows are very thin, I could hear every single passing car. I was given four pairs of earplugs, and I couldn’t get through the second night without them. The noise from the road was really loud and went on nearly all night. The second somewhat unpleasant experience was parking at the hotel, which is very challenging for SUV vehicles. (However, the hotel does warn about this, so it didn’t come as a surprise to me.) You have to move two cars on dollies just to have a chance to park. On the other hand, there’s another outdoor parking lot nearby, though the staff there didn’t speak English. (This second parking lot is not part of the hotel.)
The location by the water was really nice. The staff was very helpful. The entire hotel was clean and pleasant. The food in the restaurant was very good. So I can highly recommend this hotel, but make sure you get a room with a view of the water and on the side of the building away from the road.

RussiaA bit noisy water drain system, a bit small room. Not critical. But critical: very poor wifi in room and no mobile data reception (2nd floor). Had to go to lobby to phone by mobile data, because wifi is bad there too.
Technically very good, very good light switches and lamps set up, warm water immediately, TV, etc. General stylish design of lobby, corridors, room. Location on the river, not far from center, 20-30 minutes of nice walk.
