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.).

United KingdomThe room was stiflingly hot during the night and we were not able to ventilate the room adequately. on check out we did notice a different room had a fan but we had not thought to ask for one.
The building was very impressive and room comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The complementary tea and water was great and we enjoyed sitting in the outdoor space. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The hostel communal areas were well maintained and everything was kept clean and tidy.

AustraliaRooms need a fan. No airflow at night and they get very hot. Our windows were open all night but no flow meant air was hot. With window open, we could hear the night life also, they seemed to have a good time until about 4am. (Totally expected for a hostel) Other than that fantastic

CanadaThe elevator got too busy because of so many kids playing with it. It would have been nice to have a small shelf or side table, next to the bunk, for phone and glasses.
The food was great, and the staff was extremely helpful. We loved the idea of being in a castle, too.

United KingdomOur room was SO hot. There was no ventilation other than a window that opened a smidge. Also the power sockets were very hard to find in the dorm. Usually expect one per bed at least but we had one singular socket hidden behind a bench for a 6 bunk room! The front desk kindly helped us locate it and provided an extension with multiple sockets but still, not ideal!
Super interesting/quirky place to stay. Helpful staff and super clean

United StatesEverything was wonderful. I can't think of anything that needs to be improved.
The location was awesome. And the facility itself exceeded our expectations. It. was modern inside and the room was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the breakfast options and drink availabilty. Lastly but most importantly, the staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay. I would definitely recommend this location as a great option for families who want a room as close to the caste as you can possibly get.

GreeceNo complains. I would stay in this place again.
Although it's a hostel, it has private rooms also and we stayed in one of them. Excellent price to amenities ratio. Excellent location, right beside the Castle and inside the old city. Clean, comfortable and spacious, two-level room. Breakfast was good. There was a rather inexpensive parking building close to the hotel.

United KingdomAmazing opportunity to stay in the tower of a castle adjacent to the main Imperial Castle complex in Nürnberg. Very comfortable four person room with its own toilet and shower room. I stayed with my 3 young sons (aged 10, 8 and 7) who loved being so close to all the major sights of Nürnberg.

GreeceI had a fantastic experience staying at the castle hostel in Nuremberg. The location couldn’t have been better — right in the city center, close to shops, restaurants, and historical landmarks. It was the perfect spot for exploring the city. The hostel itself was incredibly clean, and the atmosphere was both charming and comfortable. The castle setting added a unique and memorable touch to my stay. The staff were exceptionally polite, helpful, and always available to answer any questions or offer recommendations.
