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.).

I arrived late, due to having a late flight, which was delayed, so the reception was closed by the time I got there, after 21.00 hrs. Sadly I am not experienced when it comes to checking-in online, so I could only get past the front door with the entry code sent to me by email and would have been stuck outside the foyer had not other guests helped me navigate the checking-in online! A big thank-you to them!
The breakfast buffet offered a wide choice of delicious foods in a lovely venue, overlooking a quiet back courtyard with trees. My room was on the top floor but there was a lift up. It was very hot, but a fan was provided, as well as a nice ensuite shower room. Local newspapers were offered each morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. The park was just around the corner, transport and supermarkets were close by.

A great find. We were looking to stay in Schwabing and the location was excellent. The facilities are beautiful. 1 min to English Garden, 4 min to lots of dining, 7 min to Munchen Freiheit

All was good.
Perfect location, central enough (50m to entrance in English Garden, 3 metrostations to old city) but very quiet. We had single rooms on the 3rd floor: good view and very quiet as well. Good breakfast, good coffee. We appreciated club room with tea and sitting area where we took tea in the afternoon and in the evening. Comfortable bed. Good size and clean bathroom.

It took me a moment to work out how to get into the building for self-check in and I would have loved a kettle somewhere for a hot drink in the evening. But all in all definitely a place where I would happily stay again.
Great location. I arrived to an amazing evening concert by the birds in the garden, and the location was so peaceful and quiet, perfect for deep sleep. The city park Englischer Garten is practically next door - great for walks. Friendly staff at breakfast and reception, I appreciate the fair trade / organic products. I also liked that the chapel was accessible for a moment of prayer. Unfortunately it rained in the morning, otherwise I would have loved a closer look at some of the sculptures in the garden.

If you have issues with stairs or heavy luggage, it's not a suitable accommodation if you sleep in the old castle in the garden
It's a hidden gem with very lovely people as staff
