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 reviewI ordered a standard twin room via booking. But when I entered the room that had been assigned to me, I noticed there was an inner door. When I accidentally checked the door, it turned out that it led to another room belonging to someone else. I immediately raised my concern and requested a change of room. However, in the new room I was given, I was still disturbed by the noise of the trains.
It is close to the station and convenient for travelling to other places by train.
Hey JabLala, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Those doors give the possibility to connect 2 rooms together, however they are usually locked. If we dropped the ball on this, we are very sorry, we would have been able to lock those immediately. I’m sorry to hear that the second room didn’t provide the peace you were hoping for either. Our location does come with some train noise, but I wish it hadn’t disrupted your stay. It’s great to hear you appreciated the convenience of being close to the station, though! Hope you have better luck on your next trip! Wendela Spitzen General Manager Ibis Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof

Verified reviewWhen I made the payment, I paid the city tax in full, but when I left the hotel, I was asked to pay the city tax again. It is not a big amount, but this should have been stated when booking.
Hi Akın, Thanks for your feedback! I totally get how that city tax confusion can be a pain. We’ll make sure to keep our booking info clear so guests know what to expect. Hope to see you again! Wendela Spitzen General Manager Ibis Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof

Verified reviewRoom although at platform level and overlooking the station was very quiet. Breakfast area was chilled and nice and relaxed with the option of outside seating
Option of secure parking. Our motorcycles felt a bit exposed. However no problems encountered

Verified reviewBetter than expected for this price and better than some other Ibis hotels I have used. It is quiet, close to the station and excellent for a one-night stoppover on the way to final destination. Also good as a base for short local rail trips in southern Germany. Breakfast was good (adequate) they provide trays and hot food as well as buns, etc.
I can't think of anything to criticise, given the reasonable price charged. An evening meal would be a useful addition.
Hey Paul, Thanks a ton for your awesome feedback! We're stoked to hear that you found our place to be a sweet deal and better than some of the other Ibis spots you've visited.
