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.).

No coffee machine, but this is just a minor thing.
The hotel is not in the old city, but just an easy 10-minute walk to the edge of the old city and then 10 minutes more to the old city. Other hotels are in the old city but cost twice or three times as much. So, this is a great deal. The hotel is very quiet -- we had a room at the back. A special feature is that the space is divided into two rooms, one a bit larger and the other a bit smaller. So, you have a bit of privacy, which is nice in the evening if you want to watch a series on your laptop without disturbing your travel companion. Friendly staff. Would chose the same hotel for a second stay. Good parking place for cars behind the hotel.

- • Apartment
- • Stayed 2 nights

We had windows towards the main road and the sound was very noticeable even with closed windows. The secondary bedroom did not have curtains on the outside of the window, resulting in lots of light coming in. I filtered on "apartments" on booking.com and got this hotel. To me, an apartment has a cooking area and a fridge. This was not the case. I was disappointed when noticing this. It doesn't say it's included but then what is the definition of an apartment?
Friendly staff and comparably cheap.

Too warm (no AC), rooms looking on the main street are a bit noisy, breakfast was ok but not worth 12 euros.

- • Solo traveller
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
I had a problem finding a parking place, in the end I parked my car on a place belonging to a neibouring car repair shop, but the owner was tolerant and didn´t make any problems.
This hotel was a surprisingly good choice. I only needed to spend one night somewhere in Rostock on my way pro Scandinavia and this hotel seemed to be a good value for your money, but it exceeded my expectations. It is situated within walking distance to the historical center, close to a tram station, it is clean and carefully renovated, the staff was incredibly nice and helpfull, the atmosphere was friendly. I bought the breakfast separately and it was also good. If you plan a few days in Rostock and don´t need a luxury hotel, but a calm, safe and clean place for good money, this is a good choice.

When I arrived at the hotel, it took me some time to check in by myself. I don’t speak German and was using English, but the website kept switching back to German, which made the process difficult. I also arrived late at night and was disappointed to find no kettle in the room. It would be helpful to have one available for guests arriving late.
The reception staff in the morning were very kind and helpful. They assisted me in getting a coffee and allowed me to park my car while I went to shop at Lidl. I really appreciated their friendliness and support.

The lady on reception was extremely polite, professional and friendly making the check in process a pleasure. Everything was fully explained and upon asking about tea and coffee making facilities we were provided with a kettle and cups she delivered to our room. The room and our bed linen were exceptionally clean and well presented. On site secure parking was a great addition and no charge was made.
