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 are 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 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.).

IrelandVery little. A kettle or coffee machine in the room would be nice.
Great location. A few minutes walk to the train station and Cathedral. Very quiet. Sound proofing was excellent. Good shower.

NetherlandsParking in the old city of Cologne is hard. This isn't controlled or influenced in any way by the hotel, just something to know for travelers.
Amazing location in the old town, just a block from the Dom and the Altmarkt. Very friendly hotelier. The beds were extremely comfortable. Great assortment of restaurants and pubs nearby.

AustraliaThe light on the stairs doesn't have a movement sensor and sometimes goes off when you are halfway up/down leaving you in darkness. The bed sheet was polyester or similar material and very hot, no top sheet. No tea/coffee facilities in the room.
It was lovely having windows that open to let in some air. They open right up which was wonderful. The room wasn't huge but was comfortable. It was nicely decorated. From the window, you can see a portion of the Dom cathedral! The bed was comfortable. The shower worked well. There is a lift. You would not want to carry cases up the stairs.

ItalyNo luggage storage available after the check out, I kindly suggest to take care about that, of course we were happy to pay for it. Staff must be more happy to see a customer, not really helpful. The idea that the same room key open also the general entrance door is not the safest way to avoid problems.
Great position, big room, clean.

United KingdomThe pillows on our bed were really lumpy.
The location was great for proximity to Cologne Central Statioin - less than ten minutes walk (with a heavy suitcase). The cathedral spires were easily visible from our room which was at the front of the hotel and it was unbelievably quiet. The double glazed windows (which could be opened) were super-efficient when closed. The shower was great, with plenty of hot water. The bed was softer than we would choose but it was comfortable. Our room was larger than expected, and very clean, although a little bit dated. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we could leave our luggage for several hours at the hotel after checking out. We cannot comment on breakfast there as we did not have it.

United KingdomIt was a bit desolate inside as i felt i may have been the only guest and it was nerve-wracking. Also the room door handle seemed broken and i could not open the lock and i was stuck until i was rescued!! Quite scary as a lone traveller..
The location is perfect. Loved the quaint furniture in the rooms and the amazing comfy bed and warm quilt.

SwitzerlandWhen we wanted to check in, no one was at the door and we did not know whether it was possible to leave our bags or anything. However, when we called the phone number on the door the host arrived very quickly and was very nice. If this happens to you, do not hesitate to call the host :)
The Hotel is at a very central location, close to the station, city center and public transport. The room was fairly big, with more than enough room for three people, and the beds were very comfortable. Everything seemed very clean.
