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 reviewThe hotel staff were very polite and helpful. The room was very nice. It's very large with an outside area. Parking was available next to the annexe where I was in. The Greek restaurant next door was very good, try the lamb, beautiful. The Hotel was also very, very dog friendly, so much so I thought the lady on reception would steal my little puppy.
There was a kitchenette, but for strange health and safety reasons, it was switched off.

Verified reviewIt was quite and close to shops
It was the most uncomfortable hotel room I ever visited. Two days was a hell. The room was stuffed and the air was so humid. The carpet was full of dust, my two kids and myself kept awake for the first two nights as they were reacting to the dust. The vent in the room was so dusty. My son kept coughing and sneezing. Day 3 I was moved to a loft room which was better in terms of air but very uncomfortable as we kept bumping our heads on the ceiling as we are all tall people. The bed was very uncomfortable. Horrible four night of my life. I was going to write to booking.com and I saw this email to say they need to refund me as the hotel was not ready for visitors yet. The house keeper kept coming to me at 9am to clean the room, came 3 times and I said we were on holiday why do you want to disturb my rest time.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect for us as it’s just a short walk from our friend’s house. The room was warm, quiet and clean.
The bath plug didn’t seal the bath and the shower sprayed water in all directions. The room, although comfortable, was rather dated.

Verified reviewOur room was very large and very well equipped. it was nice to have a small kitchenette areas. The bathroom was also large and well equipped. Very clean.
Probably because it is winter, check-in was via intercom. The whole downstairs area felt like the Mary Celeste, and a bit spooky!

Verified reviewI recently stayed at Residenz Royal in Sandhausen, just a short drive from the beautiful city of Heidelberg, and it was absolutely perfect. The location offered the best of both worlds: peaceful surroundings with easy access to Heidelberg’s historic charm and vibrant culture. The accommodations were immaculate, with stylish decor that combined comfort and modern amenities. My room featured two cozy extra large beds, two bathrooms, kitchen, dinning table, private outdoor area seating, two large tv's in both rooms, and thoughtful touches like complimentary snacks and a guide to nearby attractions. What truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. They provided excellent tips for exploring Heidelberg, from must-see landmarks like the Heidelberg Castle to hidden gems in the old town. The proximity to Heidelberg made it easy to enjoy the city’s highlights while still returning to a tranquil retreat at the end of the day. Breakfast was a standout, with fresh pastries, local jams, and delicious coffee that fueled my adventures. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with Heidelberg just a short drive away, Residenz Royal is an exceptional choice. The wifi is exceptional and gym is also available 24/7. We'll definitely be returning!

Verified reviewLaundry and basic cooking facility were provided. One of the receptionists was helpful (while the other one seemed a little abrupt)
Cleaniness - cobwebs and ants were found in the second room, cigarette smell in the first room (which was subsequently changed after we raised the matter to the hotel reception). Even so, the second room still smelled a little funny, possibly from the dated mattresses or duvets...
