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.).

MaltaSince we have been there for many times, we have seen some reduced small items compared to before. There is no coffee machine in the room and we didn't find any slippers and robes. Also, although these were extra, before there used to be small extras like grapes and small Dom souvenirs. I'm not complaining on these, but they were small extra touches that made the hotel extra special which are now not offered.
Excellent location as it is very near the Koln Dom and all central amenities are walking distance including the train station. Breakfast was excellent and the room very comfortable. The hotel has been refurbished in the last few years as this is the 5th time we went and it now looks new.

NorwayI chose superior rooms, they were smaller than what I thought. Missing kettle in the room. Had to go down to reception to get a coffee.
The breakfast was very good. Close to all amenities such as the church which was a beautiful sight. A walk to the Cologne trade fair.

AustraliaThere was only one pillow for each person which collapsed to nothing. Ridiculous to have to make a request to the manger. No tea or coffee making facilities on arrival in the room. All hotels have these facilities. No iron in the room. Very poor when you have to ask for some decent pillows, and the rest......This is not a cheap hotel. It was very disappointing. The gentleman serving the drinks in the afternoon spent too much time talking and amusing people and not paying attention to other people waiting for drinks.

NetherlandsCheck out was terrible, long waiting and only one worker that needed to take the phone and telephoning taking reservations while in the middle of a conversation. Also the breakfast was pretty expansive 15€ p.p. For a not big choice. The things they had where fresh and tasty (only the frozen watermelon not)
Beautiful view, very welcoming.

United KingdomThe hotel took 2 payments from my credit card. I checked in with their app "Hotelbird" which asked me for a deposit. On arrival and on departure reception staff assured me that my deposit would be refunded. However, the hotel is refusing to repay my deposit by accusing me of making 2 reservations. This is ludicrous, I have shown them documents that I only made 1 reservation. They still owe me 569 Euros and are still refusing to pay. There were no coffee making facilities in the room. The room was quite small and only had one chair. This is Ok for a short stay,
The location is wonderful. A short walk to Christmas markets, Cathedral, river, a wide variety of shops and the old town. We enjoyed meals at nearby restaurants and markets. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke excellent English. There were plenty of chargers in the room, 6 I think, which was very helpful. Mineral water was supplied every day.

NetherlandsThe beds were acceptable, but the cushions were uncomfortable, akin to lying on a blanket. The shower felt a bit cramped, and the climate control lights were bothersome in the dark. Additionally, the narrow gap between the somewhat small beds and the individual blankets didn't contribute to overall comfort.
I appreciated the prime location, a key factor in choosing this hotel. The picturesque view of the Dom and Christmas market added to the charm. The self-service breakfast was satisfying, with the only downside being that the sausages were cold.

CanadaCheck out is 11am. Every other hotel we stayed in on our 3 week trip had noon checkout. Lighting in the room was so, so, so, poor. I’ve heard of mood lighting but this was ridiculous. There was no overhead lighting. The bed part of the room had two tiny spotlight sconces. The room was tiny. We had to use the small desk and armchair for our suitcases and the window ledges for our carryons. Hotel is not accessible for the physically disabled, as there are stairs you have to climb to get into the hotel from the street. We were travelling for 3 weeks and had large suitcases and carryons. I could not lift my suitcase up the stairs. One elevator for the entire hotel and cleaning staff.
Location and breakfast. Mini fridge in the room.
