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 regions, 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.).

BelgiumThe wellness is not really accessible for fast travellers. Excellent parking, but such a small parking spots. The house keeping needs to improve.
The room was excellent (as usual in this hotel), my stay was a delight, and the team did every they could to give me a wonderful stay!

BelgiumNoise in our room on 10th floor - due to roof-top bar just above n 11th floor, with quite a bit of 'boom-boom' until 1 o'clock. Expensive and narrow garage, with unclear getting-in and getting-out instructions ( creating a lot of unnecessary stress)
Original, 'insolite'. Close to the city-center. Well-equipped spacious room, very nice view over the city of Cologne. Great breakfast, although quite expensive (31 euros per person).

LatviaLighting in the room is less than we are used to. It is due to design but during the dark period- autumn and winter I would appreciate more light in the room.
It is a place with a character. Perfect location, perfect sound proofing, very nice service, especially people working at breakfast, very very nice people and excellent breakfast.

United KingdomThe large windows offered a bit too much light first thing in the morning. I travelled at the end of June so sunrise was 5am or so. The staff weren’t overly friendly either. But efficient so no complaints. I didn’t have time to try the breakfast but it looked good from what I could see.
I really enjoyed that the building had character. The rooms have floor to ceiling windows that give lots of natural light. Bathroom was fantastic too, tons of space and excellent shower. Location is just outside the centre, easy reach with an Uber but quite long to walk. There was a public pool opposite too. I didn’t get to use it but if I’d had more time it looked excellent.

AustraliaThe hotel is in a low emissions zone, not being from Europe we did not know what this was until too late. There’s no mention of this on the website OR Booking.com. I feel it should be listed with the parking info to help future guests avoid headaches. We were traveling in a car from the Netherlands which did not have a low emissions sticker. We also arrived on a Sunday which meant we could not get a sticker as everything was closed. We called the hotel and were advised we should have informed our selves before arriving. To get around this we parked the car outside the low emissions zone left it over night (Bit scary leaving a car in an unknown neighborhood) and caught a train into town.

United KingdomHard not to like anything. The only let down was one of the days my room wasn't cleaned but this wasnt too much of an issue in the grand scheme of things.
Hotel is a an old beautifully converted water tower. For any architecture lovers its a great place to stay. Rooms are very well presented with free wifi throughout. Breakfast was great with a good selection of options from hot, cold & continental. The bar on top was great too.

United KingdomThe bar was so busy on Saturday night that we couldn't get a drink which was a shame as it was my husband's birthday and couldn't make use of a free drinks voucher either (a nice system if you don't want your room cleaned is that you get a voucher but we couldn't use it).
Really interesting place to stay. Liked the lounges on the ground floor as a place to hang out and have a coffee or tea. The bar was nice when it wasn't busy with great views over the city. The room was very nice but way too hot even without the heating on we had to have the window open the whole time and take off the duvet!
