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.).

LuxembourgThe location of the Hostel was pretty good, with a tram station not far away. We are used to walking, so we were mostly walking to all the sights. The room was nice and clean. Soap and everything available as it should be. The breakfast had a good variety of choices to make sandwiches or having something warm like scrambled eggs and bacon. In comparison to other places the price was also good.

Germanyloved the convenience. we drove to the hotel from southern germany. the immediate streets were wide and not busy. the streets were quiet. our room looked onto the outdoor courtyard, also quiet. Breakfast was wonderful. Parking was already full (minimal space) and our large van wouldn't have fit anyway. Sparkasse Parking was easy enough and only 100m north. They kept our luggage so we didnt have to leave it in the parked car and risk the car getting broken into. Most of the staff was very kind. We are happy we stayed here and will stay again. Breakfast was great. Eggs, bacon, toast, ham/cheese butter nutella, yogurt bar, apples, cucumber tomato salad, coffee, hot chocolate AND a kids play area.

NetherlandsWe had an extremely loud room for our first night. Facing a night bar there was a lot of very loud noise all the way to 4am,even with the windows closed the noise was very loud. When we requested a different room because that night was important to rest due to driving for long hours the next day, staff on duty first refused, claimed there were no other rooms, became rude and only upon insisting speaking to someone who is a manager then suddenly there was a room available. A bit unnecessary that whole circus.... There was also no cold water in the first room which same staff member claimed to be a building issue but new room had scalding hot water available.... Overall I understand things can happen but not giving guests the proper service and problem solving only makes things worse. Unnecessarily.
Beds and pillows were really comfortable. Bathroom facilities also really nice as everything looked new. Some staff was really nice and knowledgeable. Good variety at breakfast.

United KingdomShower tray floods if the shower on more than 40%. Bathroom although clean & modern didn’t feel private enough (if you know what I mean) No extraction fan in bathroom nor any air con available so if wanting fresh air had to open a window which then meant city noise. Bath towel could have been bigger & the beanbag pillow wasn’t too our liking however we bring our own having driven to Cologne.
Location to Christmas markets, most within walking distance. Public Transportation, trams/buses/trains very close by, also public car parking most at €20 per day. Room comfortably warm, bathroom modern, excellent shower (use carefully) Cupboard space available. Bed more comfortable than it looked. Excellent continental style buffet breakfast which was included in our price. Very good free WiFi. Property accessible 24 hours with manned reception. Staff we interacted with were pleasant & helpful - spoke good english.

TurkeyThere was no cleaning in our 3 days stay. At least taking out the garbage and changing towels on daily basis would be nice.
We came to Cologne for Christmas Markets and location was very convenient to walk pretty much to all of them. Also we arrived very late at night but Ali at the front desk welcomed us kindly. Room was spacious enough for 3 people, it was warm and wifi worked well.
