Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaIt was a genuine surprise and a novelty to stay in a real jail cell! Only 4 years ago this facility was still a working jail! The staff were super helpful before we got there, as we had some problems with the booking process.

AustraliaNo problems with my stay here.
The building concept of being a converted prison was super cool and they did an amazing job. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, the bathrooms clean and the staff were friendly. Also in a great location in the old town and near a nice lookout.

AustraliaNothing. It was perfect.
I stayed overnight to catch Bernini Express. Easy to find about 5-7 mins walk from train station. Look for the arched drive in entry, has another name displayed more prominently but in a smaller sign it says Bogentrakt. Check in was super easy and I was very pleased to find the room really clean and crisp white linen bedding. Bunks had privacy curtains, they were big and roomy. Separate toilet and shower were also new and spotless. I had a great afternoon in Chur and my sleep was quiet and sound. Probably the best hostel sleep wise I have stayed at over 7 weeks. You can hear noisy guests in the corridor if they are banging doors and talking loud but was way less than most hostels.

IndiaRooms are a little small, but will serve the purpose.
This is a nice little hostel, not far from the Chur train station. People know it by the name Sennhof. It was a prison till 2020, now converted into a hostel. Its impeccably clean. There is a common kitchen with all utensils, a common community room with a small library and a big TV. There are lots of common toilets and bathrooms in addition to the ones int room (not there in dormitory), which are spotlessly clean.

United KingdomWe loved it, but there are some things that might not appeal to everyone: - The rooms are literally cells, so they are small (I mean, what do you expect??). - The bed is sideways so if there are two of you, one has to climb over the other to get up. - The bathroom had poor ventilation. - No kettle in the room - we had to go upstairs to the kitchen to make hot drinks.
This is fun place to stay - a lovely historic building overlooking a vineyard that has retained a quirky prison-vibe (bars on some of the windows, old scratched up industrial lift, chunky cell doors). The common areas are fine - a lounge in the historic tower, a co-working area, a fully-fitted kitchen and toilets/showers. The reception is staffed and sells snacks and essentials. The room was clean and cleverly designed with fold-down tables and shelves. The ensuite was clean and stylish and the water-pressure on the shower was like standing under Niagra falls - AMAZING. The location is great - 10 minutes from the station and very close to the Rhatische Museum.

Portugal- Clear window in the bathroom (not very pleasant to be seen by neighbours if you're showering or doing your business) - Payment: we didn't manage to pay in advance as their payment gateway triggers multiple authorizations from different providers, which is seen as a security breach by our bank. - Cleanliness: maybe it was just bad luck, but we found some "traces" of the previous guest in one of our beds, which led us to think that the room was not cleaned as it should have been.
- Very friendly staff in all stages of the stay. Moreover, we had a bit of an issue in our stay and the staff promptly offered a compensation for all the inconvenience. - Outside the box stay... sleeping in a prison cell is definitely a different experience :) - Good facilities, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, common areas to hang out - Nice location: relatively near to the center
