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.).

BelgiumJust like last tome we went there, there is a bad smell as soon as you enter the hotel; hygiene of the rooms, of the breakfast area is not as it should be. Staff working in the breakfast area lacks coaching and coordination. Friendly but chaotic.
Location; underground car park; swimming pool.

GermanyNoticiable yellow stains on the toilet seat and shower door. Mold on the corner of the shower-wall. The moment I connect the hair dryer the plug went off… a little scary if you travel with kids. the space in the room with the table and bed was cleaner though.
The receptionist was really polite and brilliant, lobby looks clean and spacious. Really nice variety of food at the breakfast buffet. Bed was nicely and comfy.

SwitzerlandSaturday night was a bit noisy. Sunday much better though so probably due to the weekend.
Great location, the pool was big and opened from 6h30 to 21. Very close to the Zoo and tram line 6 and 10 which seems to be the essential ones.

AlbaniaThe bathroom was a bit small and crammed , one of the power sockets at the bed was not working.
The location is very good as a part of the city’s main attractions are very close by foot so you can navigate easily , the rooms were clean , Ali at the reception was very kind and friendly and he even gave us the breakfast free of charge , very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was nice and tidy even had an iron and an ironing table which in my experience is not very common in hotels and definitely came in handy. Ah yes they also gave us free tickets for local public transport which is definitely another plus. The pool was nice as well.

Czech RepublicThere was no parking available in the hotel, had to drive to find an alternative parking garage which was fun given I didn’t know the surroundings. There was an incident during check in, which was however swiftly and professionally resolved by the reception staff. I found the bar service lacking and the staff not super friendly. There were people sitting outside without anyone paying any sort of attention to them for quite a while (30 mins or so)
Nice, clean, modern.. friendly and polite staff (in the hotel)
