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 reviewThe view from my room and the breakfast room (29th floor) was stunning! Nice interieur and a super central location in the middle of Jena. Breakfast was nice and fresh, they offered fantastic coffee!
The bed under the cover was not clean! I was a bit irritated as I had to walk with my luggage around the building because the elevator access was not available from the garage because of vandalism, which is certainly not the hotel´s fault.

Verified reviewBeautiful city, location and great view from the 27-th floor. Very good breakfast. Interesting room lightening and equipment. Comfortable bed and pillows
The bathtub was dirty and with the damaged cover. The shower drain wasn’t working - water didn’t go away. No minibar and room service. The minibar box on the floor demanded the German ID to buy drinks, so it wasn’t possible to get them in the night 😀

Verified reviewall rooms are up high in the very ... "modernistic" tower and i had a fantastic view. Also the hotel is in the city center and everything is right in front of it, this is great.
The electronics in the hotel room are total overkill. I had to look for the light switch with the flash light of my mobile phone and even then it was not clear how to control the light. There is no simple switch for anything, everything is hidden behind symbols and multifunction keys. One feels a bit like a prisoner. The blinds don't really keep the light out.

Verified reviewThe location at the centre of Jena was fabulous and the views from the windows were unbelievable. The rooms are large, with large windows and modern facilities. The air conditioning was excellent, even during a heatwave.
It is very difficult to find, unless you happen to walk in on the correct side of the building, which is otherwise a shopping mall and office building with no suggestion that there is a restaurant on the top floor. Given the price point, I would have expected tea/coffee facilities of some form to be available and preferably in the room, but there were none.
