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 reviewImmaculate and clean modern hotel. Rooms are bigger than your typical hotel. Nice friendly staff.
Rooms maybe need a little updating but can see this in a work in progress.

Verified reviewCooperating staff, spacious hotel, small but nice swimming pool, within walking distance from city centre with good restaurants. Breakfast was above average. Dinning facility is not great but thanks to the sunny weather we could sit outside.
The room was a bit dated but certainly doable. The gym doesn’t deserve to be called a gym. A proper workout is not possible.

Verified reviewGreat breakfast, nice to have the swimming pool, short walk into lovely picturesque busy town with cafes and bars, plenty of nearby cycle routes, easy parking, friendly staff and restaurant was nice and lively. Was a bit concerned about the location at first as it is opposite a DIY store but it didn't matter at all, the hotel was lovely and just a 10 min walk away over the river was the town. A great stay.

Verified reviewThe staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean and decent sized. The bathroom was the best and had Rituals wash gel and body lotion which was great! Breakfast was decent.
The location of the hotel was not great, it lacked charm; you wouldn’t know it from the hotel pics. The restaurant lacked both quality and variety.

Verified reviewSpacious rooms. Quiet hotel. Lovely location - 5 mins walk from the train station and into the town. The swimming pool was great. The breakfast buffet was good - it had a good range of foods to choose from. All the staff were friendly. We travelled with our 3 year old - she had a separate bed and there was also a little playground next to the hotel.

Verified reviewExcellent location. All the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. Rooms were lovely, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The restaurant ambience was nice, and the breakfast choices and quality were great! There are many spacious parking spots in the hotel, and they have an electric charging facility as well for the cars.
I can't think of any negatives.

Location is a bit odd....a bit like on an industrial estate but a very short walk into the lovely old town.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast selection was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh options each morning. The hotel also has a great location for discovering the Black Forest, making it a perfect base for day trips and exploring the region.
The only small issue we had was that the beer was served a bit warm at first, but thankfully, the great waiter quickly sorted it out and we ended up with a perfectly chilled one. Excellent service made all the difference!

Verified reviewVery nice hotel situated within a short walking distance from the town. We had a Comfort double room which had air-conditioning which was quiet and very effective. No sound heard from adjacent rooms or nearby road. Two pillows provided per person which was useful. Meal in the restaurant was also good. Good carpark next to the hotel.
Possibly a coffee machine in the reception area or in the room would have made our stay even better.

Verified reviewThe hotel is a perfect wellness retreat in Gengenbach, given the room rates and the location. A Konus card is given at check-in so that you can visit almost anywhere in the black forest using public transport. There are saunas including a Finnish sauna and a steam room and a swimming pool. The breakfast is very good. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful.

Verified reviewVery nice staff, very good breakfast. Easy parking.
The hotel is built around a narrow courtyard that most rooms face. This means that you will hear everything especially when you are used to sleeping with your windows open: guests arriving late, groups of adults coming back from a pub tour and saying good-bye to each other for half an hour, youngsters hanging out until 2:00 at night, someone having a rather long and loud chat at 6:45 with another guest on a balcony on the second floor, the lady wiping all the chairs in the courtyard at 7:00 in the morning and scratching them across the concrete ground. There is an air condition so it is generally possible to shut the windows at night. Not my idea of a hotel in the countryside though. I'd rather breathe fresh air.
