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.).

PhilippinesSome unfriendly staff and lack of amenities. Additionally, there was no proper luggage storage arrangement after check out, as we were just asked to leave our bags beside the main entrance without any secured handling in place.
The location is good as it is close to major attractions. Our room had a beautiful river view.

United StatesThe check-in process was a bit unusual. No one at the desk. They email a code for a lockbox on the side of the building. It worked fine, but it was a little worrisome until we figured it out.
Small hotel very near the Cologne cathedral and overlooking the Rhine. Lot's of nearby restaurants. There's a place to park briefly to unload suitcases and two parking garages within a half block.

United KingdomVisited during a heatwave so missed air con plus a mini fridge would have been useful but there was cold drinking water from the taps.
Breakfast included cooked on request plus usuals : cereals, toast, yogurt, fruit, cold meats and salmon plus cheeses and salads. We paid for a room with view of the Rhine, worth it. Lift worked very well.

FranceFuture gusets should note that the street was quite noisy for most of the night. Early hours by people going home after their night out and from 5h00 onwards public services and contractors with noisy equipment arriving for work. Our room was 2nd floor overlooking the street - perhaps it is quieter at the rear.
The key box entry system was excellent. Note for other users the key opens the double doors immediately to the left.

United StatesLoud street noise starting at 05:00! Not the hotel’s fault but if it’s warm and you need to sleep with the windows open, you might be woken up really early. No fan. If it had been any hotter that day sleeping would have been uncomfortable. No receptionist after 14:00, but automated check in was easy.
Great location. Bed was comfortable, bathroom nice. Staff helpful at checkout.

United StatesI couldn’t get the Nespresso machine to work, even after I watched a YouTube tutorial. Also the floor lamp didn’t work.
The location was GREAT. Close to the Hbf train station and just close to everything! Rooms and bathrooms are a bit small, but typical for Europe. Shower stall is quite small. We are smaller people so it wasn’t a problem. The bed was very comfortable, a nice soft but firm mattress. Staff was very nice and helpful. Some rooms have windows facing the Meuse River. We left before breakfast was open, so we can’t comment on that.
