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 reviewBreakfast – The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering everything one would expect. Any additional requests were promptly fulfilled, and the staff were exceptionally kind and friendly. My children especially enjoyed the warm welcome and the overall atmosphere. Room – We were upgraded to spacious and comfortable rooms. The housekeeping staff were extremely courteous and made every effort to ensure cleanliness and comfort throughout our stay. The rooms were well-maintained and tidy. Location – The property is ideally situated, just a two-minute walk from the beach and in close proximity to numerous restaurants and supermarkets. The central location made it very convenient for us to explore the area. Hospitality – The owner *Lady was outstanding, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring a pleasant stay. She listened carefully to our needs and provided everything necessary. Her welcoming nature and commitment to guests’ comfort are truly commendable.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect - a convenient walk from the train station and close to the beach. The bathroom was much larger than I expected.
Bed linens were fresh and clean but were an odd shade of yellow - seemed odd for a hotel not to have white linens.

Verified reviewAmazing location, right at the heart of the main street and just a few steps away from the beach. Comfortable bed and bedsheets. Complementary water/coffee/tea
No hand soap in the bathroom, shower gel seemed to be diluted with water. Style is a bit old school for my taste and the rate is relatively high

Verified reviewGreat location on the Main Street. Very clean throughout. Good breakfast.
No aircon. Not a problem generally with the Sylt climate but when it’s warm, the only answer is to throw open the windows letting in all the late night revellers’ noise and the early morning seagull shrieks. Lack of sleep is the penalty.

Verified reviewClean room, delicious breakfast, perfect location as it is in the center and in walking distance to the beach.
Make sure to close the window during night because you won't be able to sleep well due to noises from seagull.

Verified reviewBest value for money compared to all the available hotels that weekend. Great service from friendly and accommodating staff. I was able to check-in at 12 noon. Clean and well-lit rooms. Very comfortable mattress and bedding.
Limited breakfast choices. The shower didn't drain quickly. The suite is located next to the rooftop terrace which can be accessed by the guests. It was mostly empty when I stayed there but I couldn't leave the curtains open while I slept.

Verified reviewThe twin bed at this hotel is the most comfortable twin bed I’ve ever slept on.
The reception desk staff were not welcoming at all and seemed annoyed to be doing their jobs.
