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.).

PolandTry to get a room off the main street. Super loud!
If you like retro and a glimpse of prewar Poland, this hotel is for you. Breakfast is great. Regretted that we did not have dinner at the hotel, they have a duck special for 2 for 100 PLN, a real steal! Next time. The staff is great. I forgot my power bank and keys. Was able to get them sent home without any problems.

United KingdomTwo hotels called Focus! On our arrival in Bydgoszcz we went to the wrong hotel with a similar name! We arrived by train, but directions on booking .com didn't show ones for walking to the hotel, only if we'd travelled by car, so I did a separate search and only put 'Focus Hotel' in (without the pod Orlem!), which meant we walked a long way to the wrong hotel. Sadly, the receptionist at the sister hotel gave us poor and inadequate directions as to how to get back, which didn't help - especially as we were both very tired and ended up getting lost again!
Beautiful old building with ornate staircase. Large room comfortable room, ours even had a veranda! Lovely choice of breakfast. The waiting staff when we had our evening meals were brilliant. Very attentive. The dry ice bucket with the aromatic vapour was a lovely touch to our desserts! Made us very happy! While we may have had one or two issues with our room, however these were sorted out immediately. So well done to the team!

United KingdomFor a five night stay our room was only cleaned once despite hanging out a "please clean room" sign. Reception were excellent and immediately brought up loo rolls, etc. Bathroom fittings were adequate. Somewhat dated (circa 1980s?) with leaky taps and difficulty getting a pleasant hot/cold water balance.
Wonderful old fashioned (1896) hotel with more or less modern facilities . Excellent breakfast and first rate location allowing most of Bydgoszcz to be visited on foot.

I am from Bydgoszcz and I've passed this hotel so many times in my life and I've always wanted to stay here just one night. I've finally made that happen and it did not disappoint. Location is amazing, staff very friendly, rooms comfortable and clean. And it is really beautiful inside and out.

The hotel is in a historic building, full of beautiful features. The main staircase is especially gorgeous. Rooms are not so modern, but spotlessly clean and entirely comfortable. Breakfast is very high quality and all staff members were really helpful and friendly.

United StatesThe hotel is old and some room facilities are partly broken - but staff is helpful mitigating those issues.
Location in the middle of the city is very convenient for many purposes. Staff is very helpful in willing to accommodate various minor shortcomings of the room. For example bringing in additional extension cords.

LithuaniaI've could have done my homework and checked that there is a pub just next to the hotel. It wasn't quiet and it's hot to sleep with windows closed.
Amazing experience, hotel is ~120 yo and owners try to save the authenticity while giving the comfort guests expect. If you are staying here, be sure to have diner at hotel's restaurant. Food is very delicious, portions big, menu for kids (you don't see it online). After breakfast they offer a sandwich and coffee to go, which was very convenient.

United StatesNo air-conditioning in any of the rooms, so need to keep the windows open giving you a nice breeze, unfortunately ( pending on the room you have) opening the windows will let all the street/tram noise in. Lack of air-conditioning has to be noted/advertised in the description of the hotel amenities
Great location giving you a walking distance to the Old Town Square, opera, Brda river and restaurants.. Beautiful historical property with great architecture. Nice service/staff.
