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.).

BrazilCompact Rooms The rooms are small and basic—comparable to a dorm setup—but overall acceptable for a short stay. Uncomfortable Pillows The pillows were very uncomfortable and could definitely be improved for a better night’s sleep.
Early Check-In We really appreciated being allowed to check in early, which was very convenient for us. Perfect Central Location The hotel is ideally situated—a mere 5-minute walk from Cologne Central Station and steps away from the Cathedral, Old Town, and prime shopping streets—making all of Cologne's highlights easily accessible. Clean & Comfortable Our room, while modest, was sparkling clean and had a cozy, comfortable feel. Friendly Family-Run Atmosphere It felt like staying with friends—staff were warm, helpful, and attentive, offering a personalized, welcoming experience. Free Wi-Fi and Desk We appreciated reliable complimentary Wi-Fi, and the desk in the room was great for catching up on work or planning our next day’s sightseeing. On-Site Parking Available The hotel offers garage parking at €15 per night, which is a fair deal considering central Cologne’s parking rates. Generous Breakfast Buffet We enjoyed a well-rounded breakfast buffet for €15 per person, which set us up nicely for the day.

NetherlandsWe liked everything, especially the owner, Denis... he and his staff did a wonderful job making us relaxed and comfortable. There was no restaurant... but there are plenty within 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
The breakfast was a basic buffet... we had it tge first day we were there. But we found a bakery about 200m away.. so for the rest of our stay, we had breakfast there...(for a lot less cost). The location was perfect... 300M to the Dom cathedral and 200m to the main cologne railway station. We liked the "family run hotel" where they treat the guests as friends instead of just a room number. Will definitely recommend it to all my friends who visit Cologne.

United KingdomWe couldn't fault this place though, as is common in Germany, you don't get tea/coffee facilities in your room.
This hotel is great for a stopover or short stay as it's only a couple of minutes from the railway station and surprisingly quiet for the location. It's perfectly clean and comfortable and the host was friendly and English-speaking. The breakfast was good.

IrelandThe location is great, 5 minutes to the train station, 8 minutes to the cathedral. The room was small but very comfortable, perfect for three nights. Denis was very welcoming and allowed us to check in early because the room was ready. The price was very good, less than I’d expect for such a good location. Breakfast cost extra, but good value.
