How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location was very good. It was centrally located and a walking distance to main attractions. Easy to find and check in. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was plenty of room to move around.
Not sure if the staff was trying to cover up a smell or simply make the space feel more pleasant, but we were greeted by a very strong scent when we walked in. It took a while to air out and was a bit uncomfortable. My suggestion would be to use less fragrance, as some guests might be sensitive to strong scents.

Verified reviewGreat central location five minutes walk from the train station and the cathedral. Great restaurants and cafes nearby. Wonderful old building with beautiful features. Our room had a mezzanine with sofa bed upstairs for the children. Very clean and lovely bathroom with new shower. Host very helpful.
On the listing it says there is breakfast available. This wasn't clear and we were told we could add it for 10eu per person by the host on arrival. We decided to just go out and find a cafe nearby which worked out cheaper.

Verified reviewRoom was large with upstairs loft. Fridge, coffee maker & microwave. Our teen loved having her own area upstairs. Getting into the property was explained well. Great location.
Extremely dated. Furniture filthy with stains all over. I asked about luggage storage and was told it was provided. Then I was told to leave my luggage in the common hallway--not secure. Bathroom was tiny. Large step up to use the toilet.

Verified reviewConvenient location (although address initially took us to wrong location).
The decor is as you see in photos - what was odd was all the laminated signs telling you what you couldn’t do, like a passive aggressive roommate at university. Only plastic and paper cups provided, coffee machine really needed a clean and descale (so we didn’t use). Restaurant opposite plays music early in the morning until late.
