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.).

AustraliaLovely staff, fabulous variety and quality of breakfast (hot food including scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages, mueslis, bread, cheese, cold meats, teas and coffees, fruits, juices etc.), lovely location and very comfortable rooms. The hotel also has a great view over the city and close to city park and nearby hiking.

NetherlandsIf you have limited mobility, the walk back to the hotel might be a bit challenging.
A very beautiful hotel located on top of a hill. Parking is free, but note that some spaces are on a very steep section. Parking there in reverse was sometimes an adventure, but also a fun challenge. Within a 10–15 minute walk you are already in the city center. On the way back to the hotel you do have to go uphill. Fortunately, if you follow the main road the climb is very gradual, which wasn’t tiring for us, though it might be more difficult for people with reduced mobility. The very last part to the hotel is a short but steep 20-meter climb, even for us. Our room was very clean and had a beautiful view over the city. Outside the hotel there is a terrace with a great view as well, where you can relax. The staff were very friendly and provided us with useful information about the city. Breakfast was included and we really enjoyed it. Since the hotel is on the edge of the city, it’s also very easy to get out and explore the surroundings. Within half an hour we reached beautiful hiking areas in the Black Forest. We also took a day trip to Colmar and the Alsace region, which are less than an hour’s drive away. Upon returning, there were always enough parking spaces available (early August). We found Freiburg to be a very pleasant city and we’d love to return. When we do, we’ll definitely book Caritas Tagungszentrum again. Highly recommended!

TurkeyIt is on a hill. This was not an issue for me. Some people may not like walking uphill.
There are multiple buildings for the rooms. The automated key system was perfect. The room I stayed was designed for one person to stay and maybe study. The room was very well designed with all the details considered. The bathroom was new and very clean. There is no luxury but everything you need in a handy way. Strongly suggested. The location is also close to city center and a great park.

United StatesThis is not a complaint, but just a note that the room was very small, with a twin bed. It was brilliantly put together for being so small, but I would choose a bigger room if I was staying more than one night.
Beautiful setting, with flowers and nature paths all around. My view of the city and distant hills at sunset from my room was spectacular. Breakfast was a good mix of options, with good coffee and friendly staff. I arrived after reception was closed but was able to use the self-check-in box and easily got my key and into my room - the instructions were very clear. I would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomVery little. A mirror in the room would be helpful, and the towels were a little thin and with no way to dry over 24 hours, meant that they were a little damp the next day.
The location, 15 minutes outside of the old town is wonderful and gives beautiful views across the city and beyond. The rooms are basic, but comfortable and pretty well-equipped. The large windows opened fully and on a tilt mechanism, allowing you to get as little or as much fresh air as you wanted. There’s an honesty system for drinks and limited snacks, which came in handy for a late night beer. The breakfast was superb - fresh, tasty, good quality and great selection. The staff were exceptional, and the ability to hire a decent e-bike for €20/day a real bonus.

United KingdomI suppose the location won't be for everyone, since it requires a walk up a rather steep bit. I was in Freiburg to hike/walk so it didn't really bother me.
While not directly in the centre of Freiburg, it was conveniently located about 10 minutes walk outside. It was mostly very quiet and peaceful (though there was some noise, whose origin I could only speculate on, from the room above at about 3am). Bathroom corner is small but functional. Breakfast offered lots of options and was very good. The WiFi also worked very well.

GermanyBe prepared to walk if you wish to reach any restaurant out of the property. The road to the hotel is steep.
The location was good for the purpose of the visit but may be challenging without a car. On the bright side, the area is very quiet. We appreciated the comfortable beds and the friendly staff. We could park our car on the property.

SwitzerlandI prefer bigger beds.
Very nice staff, excellent location: close to the city center (10 min on foot), but also at the edge of a pretty woods and a bit elevated. This gives a nice view. It is generally very calm, quiet and peaceful. There are pretty spots with chairs to just be in nature and enjoy the view. I rented an e-bike, whitch was great, because Frankfurt public transport still has immense unrealised potential and there is a good amount of bike lanes. The e part makes for a nice and easy ride, even up steep inclines - if you remember to turn it on. The room was small but nice, really small bed, good new shower and toilet and everything was very clean. WiFi worked like a charm.
