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 location of the hotel was excellent, right in the heart of the beautiful old town and just minutes' walk from all the main attractions. Also close enough to walk from the station. Our rooms (in the annexe) were a good size and comfortable - the small balcony on the double room a nice bonus. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. We decided to take breakfast on arrival and the buffet provided was very good.
Everything was very good.

Verified reviewLocation, cleanliness. Hotel is 50 steps from the parking garage, in a lovely quiet side street, but in the heart of Freiburg. Will definitely return. Friendly staff.
Not wild about the frosted glass door to the bathroom but the pros far outweigh that con.

Verified reviewGreat location. Room (single) big enough, bed comfortable. All very clean and staff friendly.
No air conditioning. That can be quite tricky in Freiburg in the summer. My room (in the separate guesthouse) faced Konviktstrasse. As sleeping with the window closed was not an option, I “suffered” a lot with late night revellers and early morning road sweepers and delivery vans underneath my window.

Verified reviewWell-located hotel in Altstadt and easy walking distance from the train station. The desk clerk was super nice and inviting and gave us some tips for places to go in the area. It is located on a quiet pedestrian street near the hillside park.

Verified reviewThe location in the old town and the friendly service at the desk. I felt quite welcomed.
The bed was too soft and quite small for me. I stayed in the business lodgings, which are not in the main house, and do feel like an entirely different experience than the original.

Verified reviewThe location in Alt Stadt and just metres from one access to Schlossberg and just around the corner from the tram was outstanding. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a small problem with the bathroom and it was attended to immediately. While it is a historic structure, there were plentiful outlets to recharge electronics. The room had obviously been remodeled not long ago and is very nice and comfortable.
There can be some noise if the window is open (though I’m deaf in one ear so I roll over and no problem!)

Verified reviewThe bathroom was badly designed. Basin on low spread water on the benchtop. The toilet space was tight for me (I am slim). A heavier person would have troubles using it. The only shower head could be turned to allow for water to normally (centrally) fall the person. And it sprayed water on to the floor, even when being careful.
