Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IsraelReally nothing. Just that any hotel after this one will be a downgrade :)
Wow, what an opening for our trip. We found the hotel by searching for a room that fits 2 adults and 3 kids, Luckily there are not many options so it made it easier to find this hotel. This is a boutique hotel with 7 rooms only, every furniture and accessory in the hotel was selected by the owner, which has a lot of experience and has amazing design vision. The family room was created this way so it will fit the owner's own family when needed, meaning -> think that the room is designed by yourself by the highest standards. The breakfast was amazing, everything was handmade. Great atmosphere and the owner gave us very good recommendations for our visit in luebeck.

United StatesIt is expensive, but it's worth it!
Wonderful location in a beautiful city. The renovation of the building is perfect - glimpses of the past with all the comfort of today. Because it's a small property, you can feel the love - in creating this gorgeous hotel, in the delicious home cooked breakfast (omg, the bread!!) and in Nina's care that all her guests feel comfortable. If you are going to Lubeck (and you should go to Lubeck for the town itself and the incredible Hansa Museum), I highly recommend you stay here!

The breakfast was incredible, freshly baked bread, amazing coffee, great service and nice products. The place was nice, the decorations. We clearly do not know how we could make it better. It is clearly the best breakfast we had in a long time.

United StatesTo be honest, there was nothing that could have been better. If I need to find one very tiny thing, it would be this. It would have been nice to have some tissues/Kleenex/Tempo in the room but now I’m really grasping to find something. The place was great.
The hotel was perfect. It was a great location, walkable to everywhere in Lübeck. The rooms were spacious, exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Each room was named after a ship in the former Reederei. I asked for, and received, Catherine which was the name of my daughter. The owner/Reederin and her staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. Knowledgeable about the entire area, we got wonderful tips about what to see and what to avoid along with great restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was fantastic with fresh baked bread every morning and delicious coffee and cappuccinos. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

DenmarkAbsolutely nothing
Everything was amazing!! It was such a warm, friendly, family-like atmosphere and hostess. The service level was a 10 (on a scale frm 1-10, ofc), and the room was really awesome! We loved the history of the place, the many many small spaces where there was room to relax and enjoy oneself, whether it was for games, drinks or reading a book - all in very classy settings. And the proximity to everything in the city was an absolute bonus! Highest recommendation, and we will definitely book again next time we visit - unless we've sold it too much with the recommendations ,and they will be constantly sold out😄 But I cannot go back to Lübeck again and stay at any other place.

United StatesThis is a hidden gem and a beautifully restored old townhouse that dates back to 1790. It is within walking distance of the historical areas and a quiet, peaceful place when you are returning from a busy day of sightseeing. Monica and Nina are so attentive to every need and, even at breakfast, remembered our preferences from the day before. Anyone traveling to Lubeck should consider this their destination hotel!

This is a truly excellent small hotel. From the generously sized room, to the tasteful renovation, warm service and great breakfast, we loved our stay. We especially loved being immersed in history at this truly Hanseatic house. Even the reading room and tea kitchen had plenty of books about Lübeck and it’s past and every nook, window, decor and room detail was thoughtfully redone. Special shout out to Monika, for her authentically warm service. We highly recommend “Die Reederin”.
