Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we"d publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They"re also applicable regardless of the comment"s tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Luxembourg- a lot of parts of the hotel need to be renovated - single bed in room much too narrow - no (!) Vegan meal available with room service nor restaurant/ bar; although I was very hungry, no effort was made at all to prepare me a simple pasta or salat; this being even more nuts considering they have vegan options at breakfast - quality of bread and green salat at breakfast bad - price to pay for gym too high as a hotel guest (18,5 euros per day) with no family pass available - shower towels too small
- breakfast with a lot vegan options - big gym ( supplementary costs) - location - nice lobby - bathroom with shower and bathtub

TurkeyWe arrived at the hotel around noon, we were able to leave our luggage at the reception and was told to come back at check in time 15:00. We asked for rooms close to each other but they said the hotel was full and they could not guarantee it. We came back at check in time but the process started rocky, It took quite some time that made us think there was a problem. They seemed to be searching to find rooms for us. People came, got their rooms and went but we waited. Eventually the receptionist said there was a matter but it was good now. We had two rooms but they weren't even on the same floor. Both rooms were located at the furthest from the elevators. Our room was on the smaller side but the main problem was it was quite cold and did not seem to heat up. We called the reception they said someone would come to look at it, and we also asked for 2 extra pillows too. That night the room had come up to tolerable heat but no extra pillows. Unfortunately we were able to get the extra pillows on our second night and after asking for them 3 times. I guess them having us wait that long to try to find us rooms and lack of any explanation or information at check in and also the problem with heating led us to believe we were given rooms less adequate. Staff seemed friendly enough but not so good at following up with any of our requests.
· Location is perfect, We went to visit the Christmas markets and it was in 5-15 minutes of walking distance to most of them. Breakfast was outstanding, including a made to order station.

the United KingdomThis is just being picky but I’m not a fan of feather pillows due to a dust allergy, so more used to a substantial pillow.
Friendly staff on arrival with easy check in. Has a great ‘green option’ for the environment which is that if you don’t need your room cleaned every day as it’s likely to be a short city break then you can forfeit it and get a free drink (coffee, wine, beer, soft drink) per person for every day you don’t have it! It was well located for the Cathedral, the Christmas markets and shopping but also away from any noise! Clean, comfortable and well located!

CyprusUnfortunately we were not allowed either early check in or late check out but it was due to the festive season.
Comfortable beds, clean room, warm atmosphere and very nice breakfast! Hotel is close to everything, we walked all over the city with no problem! Metro was used only to come and go to the airport!

the United KingdomCharging €18 for the gym is disappointing. Most hotels of this standard would provide complimentary access.
The location is central and only a short walk from the main train station. The hotel was very nicely decorated for Xmas and check in was quick and easy. We asked a couple of questions of reception during our stay and they were always very helpful. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. On Friday morning there were little Santa chocolates at breakfast which was a nice touch, although these didn’t appear on the weekend.

GreeceThe fridge was not in order that means no mini bar in the room. And for the stars of the hotel only one bottle of water for 2 persons for 4 nights is unacceptable. Also smile, polite and kindness from the staff is necessary.
The hotel is in very good location. Near the River, near the main market , near the Dom and the most famous Squares and attractions of the city. Also a lot of nice restaurants in very close distance. The rooms are of a good size with confi beds and pillows. Breakfast is very nice!! Recomented
