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):
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.
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.).

JapanIt's a very old hotel, but it's clean. It's not a big deal, but it gets hot in the summer. I rented a fan. There were no screens on the windows, but since I was on the sixth floor, no mosquitoes got in. I was allowed to store my bicycle in the garage.

Great accommodation, easy to find, easy to get into building, and staff were a phonecall away via booking.com (manned 24/7 but briefly time for staff to pop upstairs). Friendly staff, very kind and helpful, and a welcoming smile. Lift up works well. Room is actually lovely and better than expected. Superb view! Comfortable beds. Nice shower. Breakfast was super. Juice, coffee, bread and jam/butter, and then a choice of various savory or sweet (we had French toast with fruit), for 7.50 euros, book the night before. Worth having. Helpful recommendations for nice restaurant nearby. There's also a lidl and little stall outside with bakery goods. Bag storage also available which was great. Many thanks

SlovakiaIt's a normal decent hotel with minimalist requiements to sleep over if you must be in this city for some unfortunate reason. The building/furniture is aged but functional and clean. Office ceilings, basic gray carpet, bed. An unplugged old empty mini fridge and old tv to kill time if you can't fall asleep. The prices are fair however, and the reception is nice and present 24/7. You can buy various junk food and alcohol in a big vending machine near the reception. Location close to the train station/city. An ideal place for a sleepover if you just don't care where you sleep and want to stay on a budget.

Czech RepublicThe onsite restaurant was only open for breakfast.
I really liked having the extra space and facilities that came with the apartment. At first I thought the apartment was old fashioned but the then it became clear that it had been modernised in a way sympathetic with the era of the building. Breakfast was really excellent.

FinlandHotter days did become uncomfortable, but they were few.
Staying in a room with a kitchenette, I made my own breakfast (Lidl a 5 min walk away). The bed was ok, though might be a little hard for some people. Wifi signal was excellent, could work like at home. The hotel is not new, but surfaces are all clean and well maintained. Toilet and shower very good. The top floor apartment did get hot during the day, but cooled down quickly for the night when having windows open. If planning to stay during a hot day, might need a fan. Overall very good value for the money and expectations, can recommend.

SloveniaOn the downside: We genuinely expected the hotel to have a working restaurant. For us, a restaurant means the convenience of a morning coffee, lunch, or dinner without having to search the city for food. If there’s no restaurant, one would at least expect a kettle in the room to make an instant coffee. Another big drawback (which may not matter to everyone, but was important for us) is that there is absolutely no option to smoke anywhere inside. The only way is to take the lift down seven floors, ask the receptionist to unlock the main doors, and smoke on the street. I understand that during the socialist period, smoking was likely allowed everywhere, so the hotel was not built with balconies or terraces. The old restaurant probably even had a smoking section. Perhaps, just perhaps, a small part of the restaurant’s terrace on the first floor could be reopened as a designated smoking area.
I’m honestly not quite sure what to say about Hotel Bothe — my experience was very mixed. I know this hotel dates back to the socialist era, and at that time, it was probably considered a very good establishment: large rooms, spacious lounges on each floor, and a main lounge at the reception area. There is clearly a large restaurant on the first floor with a terrace, but it appears to have been out of use for quite a long time. From the main street, a wide staircase leads up to the first floor — it must have once been the main entrance to the restaurant — but it is now closed off with a metal fence. I’m fairly certain the original reception used to be located at the prominent corner near these staircases. That part of the ground floor is now rented (or perhaps sold) to a bank. The current “reception” entrance appears to be what was once a service entrance used by employees during the hotel’s better days. Still, there is always someone at the desk, ready to assist. Breakfast is available, but we didn’t try it, as we usually don’t eat in the morning. On the positive side: The receptionists are very kind, though most of them do not speak English or German. The rooms are spacious, with nice furniture, comfortable beds, high ceilings, and renovated bathrooms. We were also given free garage space for our motorcycles, which we greatly appreciated. All guest rooms are located on the 6th or 7th floor, and there is an old but functional elevator
