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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

RussiaThe Wi-Fi speed was terrible, it's my first time not using it. The room was a bit dirty: the floor was sticky and there were no slippers. The towels were outdated but clean.
The location is a bit far from the center but it's easy to reach by city transport or scooter in summer if you are young. Breakfast was great! The hotel staff was friendly.

United KingdomDespite the many fancy cars (rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Ferraris etc) and the obviously rich folks that stay at the Steigenberger I wouldn’t call it 5 star. The checking and check out were poorly staffed with really long waits and lots of people waiting with only one or two staff and this meant that you couldn’t just ask a question or for recommendations/directions as it always took half an hour to speak to reception. The only other gripe was the terrible pillows, I’ve no idea what they were thinking!! No support ‘empty’ flat pillows. But otherwise a nice hotel in a great location
Excellent location, lovely rooms, clean and tidy, no noise despite being close to so many great places!

ChinaClean up time a bit late, sometimes in the late afternoon. One time cleaning staff just opened the door in the evening without knocking and ringing the bell. Feeling not good.
In the south of Köln, the location is good, a lot of supermarkets and restaurants around. The staff is very friendly, and support me for a adapter. Thank you!

RussiaI didn't like the default pillow but they have a pillow menu. And the hotel is over-priced, in my opinion.
Big comfortable room with a good bathroom. I liked the area around the hotel with a lot of groceries and restaurants. The walk to the city center is nice and cozy.

BelgiumThe hotel merits 3 stars, however 4 (including relevant pricing) is a bit of an exaggeration. BTW, the decoration is very “pale”/uninspiring, resembling a Formula 1, two stars hotel next to a motorway.
The location is excellent, very central, perfectly connected.

United KingdomRaised prices for the football - but all hotels are cashing in. The air conditioning in the rooms was almost non existent and very ineffective which in 30C temperatures made the rooms uncomfortable and challenging to get a good nights sleep.

GermanyAlthough this Steigenberger misses the Steigenberger wow-factor it is still an excellent hotel situated within a short walking distance of the centre. Or use the tram, tram stops opposite the hotel. Our hotel room was spacious with a view of Cologne Cathedral and the Hahnentor. Bed, walk-in shower, soundproofing, breakfast all very good. Large parking garage under the hotel. Friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomThe location felt quite far from the main train station, easily walkable if you’re fine with a 30/40 minute walk and there are some really nice coffee boutiques near by and the SS museum is around 15 minutes away too, but when we were walking back from Claudius Therme, it felt never ending 😅
Staff were really friendly, someone was always on reception if you needed anything. Breakfast was great, really well signposted for vegans and vegetarians which makes like so much easier. Coffees weren’t great but the marble cake and the different cheeses and breads were amazing; one of the breakfast team, a chef I think, was exceptionally friendly and always had a huge smile on his face. The room was nice, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a good size too.
