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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI struggle with mattress protectors that don't breathe. I know they are there for a reason and I should have checked beforehand. Purely a personal quibble.
A great welcome to a hotel of character. The room was very comfortable and attractive. Lovely little 'extras' that made it a treat. Breakfast was good quality with lots of choice. The breakfast server was attentive. No fridge or kettle in the bedroom with the provision of hot and cold drinks in a special guest lounge. Just something to be sure you are aware of.

United Arab EmiratesNothing really. Smaller than average rooms but still okay. There’s a curtain to separate the room from the bathroom so if you’re two friends, be aware, for couples it was fine.
Interesting 1920’s style theme. Cozy and charming. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Very elegant. The music playlist and bottle of wine in the room were a great touch.

This mother daughter trip was amazing. The staff at Hotel Josefine were exceptional. They seemed genuinely proud of their unique hotel and happy to make the stay as pleasant as possible. Both the room and the hotel decor itself has such a quirky vibe, it feels really special - definitely not a copy and paste type of place. Also it is spotlessly clean everywhere. The ensuite was really unique, with a sliding door on toilet/shower area. It took me a while to realize the door could slide! The sink had a double mirror which is handy as one could be using the sink while the other applied make-up. Initially the area seemed to have a lot of graffiti and I worried I would feel unsafe at night walking home. I felt completely safe, even after dark walking home up to 12MN. I wasn't out later than that. Everywhere we wanted to go was within a half hour walk - national library, museum of natural History, Raimund Theatre, shopping with my daughter - location worked great for us.

Czech RepublicI loved the place. First, the stuff were exceptionally nice and helpful; second, the atmosphere, the design, interiors, the wonderful breakfast and all service were above any expectations... And third, the place lies in a very sympathetic location, the entertainments of which we also enjoyed very much – and thanks to the amazing check-in and check-out time, as well as the hours when breakfast is available, we didn't need to stress about anything.

AustriaTwo minor issues that could be improved. 1) We ordered breakfast in the room. The food was delicious but there was not enough space in the small table in the room to put the plates that were delivered. Having breakfast delivered in a small cart that could be left in the room while the food is consumed would be very helpful. 2) Having a few more options for room service outside breakfast hours would be a plus.
The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very helpful. We would definitely stay there again. The bar at the hotel is amazing, great cocktails.

SwedenThe room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The hotel is centrally located with many shops, restaurants and attractions close-by. The staff was really friendly and gave us a bottle of wine on arrival. They had even left a lovely hand-written note in the room, welcoming us. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and room service was available. I was happily surprised that even their hairdryers worked very well (a rare find at most hotels!). I cannot reccommend this hotel enough! It was a thought-through and luxurious experience from start to finish.

EstoniaEverything was amazing
As my partner said—and I completely agree—this is the best hotel we've ever stayed at. From the moment we were greeted by Julia, we felt so welcomed and genuinely cared for. Everyone at Josefine was incredibly friendly and helpful—huge respect and thank you! The interior is super chic and thoughtfully designed, with attention to every detail. They left us a welcome card in the room, a bottle of wine to enjoy, stylish robes, and even a beautifully designed notebook with info and space to write in, which we got to take home! 🤍 Breakfast is à la carte, which really adds to the whole boutique experience, and it’s totally worth it. Everyone working breakfast was lovely, and the food was top quality. My partner and I LOVED this hotel and won’t be staying anywhere else when we come back to Vienna. No surprise they made it into the Michelin guide!

United KingdomOnly minor things: e.g. one day I asked for extra towels, but that was ignored/forgotten.
Lovely, moody decor hearkening back to the 1920s with finishing touches like working old timey rotating dial phones. The onsite bar does good cocktails. The location is also great, 2 mins from the Zeiglergasse U-Bahn stop. Plus, there’s a complimentary bottle of wine in every room.
