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 reviewJust an absolutely fantastic place to stay - we loved every minute of it. To be in the middle of the town and the heart of the history just fitted the bill for us.
Nothing could be better - just be mindful of how your sat nav guides you to the address, especially at the weekend when the main square is pedestrian only. It was a challenge for us that we had a laugh about after.
Thank you so much for your open communication! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to welcome you back anytime! Your feedback means a lot to us. Best regards, Your Holidu Team.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed being in the pretty part of the old town centre. We were also given a Konus card, which allowed us free travel on trains and buses. The instruction manual was excellent.
We were unable to park close to the house, apart from for loading and unloading. Free parking was available near the station, but this was about a ten minute walk. Parking in the streets nearby is restricted to one hour.
Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm glad to hear you had a good experience. There are parking spaces nearby that allow for longer stays for a small fee. I'd be happy to show you where they are during your next visit. Your feedback is truly appreciated, and I look forward to welcoming you back! Best regards, Your Holidu Team.

Verified reviewProperty is literally 1min from the main square so you step right out into the Christmas market and can see the advent calendar house. Property was also large, had everything you needed (host is clearly very thoughtful), including Netflix.
Just take note that if you are bringing large luggage there is a long way of cobblestones to get through. The nearest large Edeka is also 15min walk away, though I don’t think this should stop anyone from staying here.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best. Your support means a lot to us! Best regards, Your Holidu Team.

Verified reviewThe apartment is spacious, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. Ann-Katrin promptly delivered more coffee powder when I emailed her to advise we ran out of coffee. The washing machine and a clothes drying rack are very handy to have. The location is superb in town within walking distance to the local small supermarket Edeka Thiem, restaurants, cafes and town attractions. Since there are no taxis at the railway station, it is convenient to only be a 5-10 minutes walk away as we have heavy luggage to drag.
It is confusing to deal with Holidu in the middle who sent duplicate and multiple emails although we booked through Booking.com I was supposed to receive an email with the pass code to the key lock for the apartment but I didn't. Fortunately Tourist Info at Gengenbach helped me to contact the owner who arrived quickly to get me into the apartment. Communication directly with the apartment owner via Booking.com was great and smooth.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you found the apartment spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. It’s wonderful to know that the washing machine and drying rack were helpful during your stay, and we’ll definitely keep the convenient location and nearby amenities in mind for future guests.We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the communication and key access. We're actively working to streamline our processes to ensure a smoother experience for everyone.Thanks again for being our guest!
