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.).

Verified reviewWe truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and it definitely surpassed our expectations. We stayed for 2 nights, and we managed to smoothly check-in even before the given time, which we needed in order to get into our day plan. The area is just ideal if you want to have a lovely river view, also quick to get anywhere. There are not many cafes around to have brunch, although plenty of restaurants. The room was clean and the balcony with the view was just great.
the light on a microwave was pretty strong and we couldnt switch it off, without sleep masks it would be tough to sleep I think. Otherwise all great!
Dear Terezie, Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the view, design, and smooth early check-in. We note your comments on the microwave light and will look into improving this. Regarding the staff, we’re glad check-in was efficient, though we’ll work on ensuring even warmer and more attentive service throughout your stay. Hope to welcome you back soon!

Verified reviewExcellent location, with local amenities and good transport connections nearby. Within 15 minutes walk you can reach the area around Simon-Dach Strasse/Boxhagener with plenty of restaurants, cafes and independent shops . Whilst the area is busy with both tourists and locals, the soundproofing of the hotel is excellent and we slept excellently each night. The room itself was clean and bigger than expected and the kitchen was well equipped with a decent sized fridge. We enjoyed having a balcony looking onto the river Spree. Good air conditioning. The staff were always friendly and helpful.
Dear Charlotte, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really happy to hear you had such a comfortable and quiet stay and the beautiful view of the Spree from your balcony.

Verified reviewThe apartments are thoughtfully designed, combining style and practicality. Rooms with a view of the Spree are highly recommended – comfortable beds, a pleasant lighting concept, and a practical kitchenette make the stay very comfortable. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space, perfect for a city trip. The staff were always friendly, helpful, and attentive. Overall, a stylish hotel in a great location with many well-thought-out details.
A small downside is that the rooms can be quite noisy – you can sometimes hear guests from the floor above or in the hallway. On the departure day, there were several knocks on our door to check if we had already left, which was a bit inconvenient. By the way before the regular check out time…
