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 reviewGood location - able to walk to a nice coffee shop and bar, as well as the central tourist areas. The bedroom was really nice with big windows, air con and very clean.
Breakfast was average. The bathrooms were very clean when we arrived but as shared, a bit dirty by the next morning.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was quiet and calm, which made it perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. All the promised facilities were available and well‑maintained everything from the room amenities to the common areas met my expectations. Another great plus is the location: it’s close to most attractions and parks, just about a 15–20 minute walk to reach many places of interest. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for comfort, great service, a convenient location, and a serene place to unwind. I would definitely stay here again!

Verified reviewStrategic, big room, neat and clean. Have a clear policy / house rules. The staff (3 of them) are very helpfull. I like them all.
Two shower room, but 1 room was almost always occupied (the right one with double wastafel). So basicly I can only use 1 bedroom for shower (the smaller one)

Verified reviewReception staff very diligent. Willing to go that extra mile/kilomètre. Excellent Wifi coverage. Wide choice of bathrooms. Location awesome: booking worth it just for this aspect. Most city tourist sites within walkable distance. A wonderful park nearby and an excellent restaurant next door where I ate most evenings. Prices reasonable and English speaking staff.,
Check in was the smoothest, the person at reception had a limited command of English …And I dont speak Russian! She even forgot to return my passport. No towels in room….I had to request. However, I am, honestly of the opinion that the reception staff made an genuine effort to assist me. Breakfast not worth the effort even thought its start only at 8 am. A plate of two half slices of bread, two slime slices of cheese two half slides of tomato and cucumber and two slides of salami., as a vegetarian, skip breakfast there….its really not worth the effort! The breakfast plates are prepared before with the attributed portions. The problem is that they are sitting on the breakfast table at least an hour before, maybe two or three with no cover. Highly unhygienic. Management….please take note that this is not at all acceptable!

Verified reviewClean quiet new modern private room, multiple bathrooms to choose. Everyday theres different breakfast prepped for you. They provided hotel amenities like slippers toothbrush and shampoo!
Not the best hostel if you are looking to have interactions with other travellers. I didnt meet any tourists here, just some school kids, people who work/stay longer there.

Verified reviewGood central location -- just between the city center and some trendy, interesting cafes, restaurants and bars. Walkable area. Utilitarian, simple and clean rooms with several shared bathrooms and a common kitchen and lounge area. All in all a great value for the price.
Breakfast was decent but a bit cold; rooms were a bit stuffy but staff turned on A/C when asked.
