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 reviewWe stayed in one of the apartments which is right near the centre of Rothenburg just a short walk from the main hotel. The apartment was very spacious and clean. Lovely staff at the hotel parked our car for us and helped with our bags. Breakfast was super.
There was nothing not to like about this hotel.

Verified reviewWe loved everything! The hotel is just steps from the main square. It is an old building and is filled with interesting antiques on display in the hallways and bedrooms. Our Junior Suite was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The Gerber Family runs this hotel and is always at hand with friendly help, tips and conversation. The hotel has a parking garage nearby where we could store and charge our e-bikes.

Verified reviewHotel Markusturm (or Hotel Romantik) is a classic Bavarian Inn located in the heart of downtown Rothenburg. The main hotel is quaint, comfortable and historically well preserved with a small but tasteful lobby, two lovely little dining rooms for breakfast and a small courtyard for guests. Though, at first, we were a little disappointed that we were assigned to an annex of the main hotel (which was more modern inside), we soon realized this separate little townhome suited our needs quite well and ended up being better for us in the long run. It had a beautiful view from the private balcony, comfortable beds and a coffee maker and fridge. Nice bathroom too… What we didn’t expect was that 2 of our children and one adult (yours truly) would come down sick. However, this only served to bring out the absolute best in the hotel staff it seemed! When they found out we were in need, Stephen at the front desk led the charge by having homemade chicken broth made for us and then sending Hero (no kidding, the big strong bellhop was named “Hero”) to pick us up and take us to a nearby doctor, to the pharmacy and even to the bank! We were so blessed and impressed and tipped them accordingly. Our waitress was also so kind and attentive. Another lady at the front desk helped us schedule a taxi and train for our final day. There’s so much more I could share, but I had to share this which just made it for us… the morning we left, as the taxi took 2 trips and dropped the last of our family and bags at the train station, and we tried to figure out the German kiosk, a terrible sinking feeling came over my wife! She’d been sure to account for every bag but her own! It must’ve still been at the hotel we thought and the train was coming in 15 min! We called Stephen at the front desk who dropped everything and quickly drove to our annex to search the place for my wife’s luggage. Within 10 minutes or less, he had arrived at the station with the bag!
The only thing, like I said, we would have preferred is to have one of the beautiful Bavarian rooms in the main hotel. But, as mentioned, the annex really was probably better for our family of 7 and the privacy we ended up needing. Oh, and no AC but that’s par for the course in Europe.

Verified reviewIn the inner city of Rothenburg. The apartment is a bit away from the hotel (as declared). Reserved parking at a third spot (but can unload outside the hotel & apartment). Very nicely furnished bathroom and kitchen in the newly remodeled apartment. Very nice recommendation for night watchman tour. Overall very comfortable stay.

Verified reviewGreat atmosphere with friendly, cheerful staff. The hotel feels family-run. Centrally located beside a tower and near the market square. Four of us stayed in a deluxe family room and there was plenty of space. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. Rooms are modern with antique touches. Breakfast was only 10 euro and a nice treat. The children loved the hot chocolate and waffles.
The coffee, but I live in Italy.

Verified reviewCentral to everything. Near great restaurants and bakeries. Very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed including fans, coffee/tea, a small fridge, a hairdryer, and room to spread out. There was a full bedroom, living area with a couch, another bed, and dining area. The kitchen had a an eating area and plenty of space. We partook of breakfast at the hotel which was affordable and delicious! Overall excellent!
We stayed in the annex 2 which is about a block from the main hotel (which is beautiful). If you cannot do stairs, this may not be for you. We hauled luggage up two flights which we did not mind.
