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.).

United KingdomThe lifts do not serve all floors of the building, but it was only a short flight of stairs to complete the journey to the room from where the lift finishes.
Nice view of the famous cathedral from the room, and across the main railway station from the corridor.

United StatesWe only had two very small pillows for a queen bed, had to ask for more. Our room on the third floor had a constant noise coming out of the walls plus the train noises made it hard to get proper sleep.
The room was clean and mostly comfortable. Location was very convenient.

MexicoMy room was on the 4th floor and the elevator went to the third floor, therefore, carrying heavy suitcases up the stairs is very uncomfortable, especially when you already want to rest.
The staff was very attentive and the room had what was agreed upon.

United KingdomThe bed was very hard and the pillows were pretty dreadful.
The location is perfect if travelling by train as it is attached to the station. The view of the cathedral from the room was fantastic. It was scorching hot in Cologne but the aircon in the room was fantastic.

United KingdomThe only thing that would have improved our one-night stay would have been a kettle in the room. I like tea. There's several cafes just outside, though.
Great location right next to the main train station and with a view of the astonishingly beautiful cathedral. Although it's a budget hotel it was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bed was just right.

United KingdomThough soundproofing from the outside was very good, between rooms it was poor. I doubt there's much you can do to the fabric of a building to internally soundproof once built, but something does need to be done to deter noisy guests! Not sure what the answer is, but it doesn't seem fair to pay good money for a bed you can't get a full night's sleep in.
Friendly staff, fantastic location, very convenient.

United KingdomRooms were very small albeit very functional for just 2 nights.
Excellent location for the train station as the hotel is literally in the train station. We travelled into Cologne by train before heading to Dortmund by train for the England versus Netherlands game at the Euros, so the hotel location was brilliant. Also the hotel is located next to the square with cafes/bars and the Cathedral so also excellent location.
