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.).

Mattresses felt old. Were super uncomfortable. Bathroom is quite cramped. Staff wasn't the friendliest you'd encounter in Austria.
Location is super. Right in Markt Platz. Resturants and Bar close by. Clean rooms. Good breakfast.

1. A “Tip-Win” business is in the parking lot and you here all these people hooting and hollering until 2:00 a.m. The hotel does have ear plugs if you need them! Seriously? 2. The sun beats into the room and it was so uncomfortable with the heat. The hotel had 2 fans. 3. Very little toilet privacy 4. Coffee is extremely bitter.
1. It’s in the heart of the city 2. Good restaurant with the hotel. Breakfast was also nice.

one staff at reception was quite rude, put me off. when at breakfast table, you felt that you are being watched on what you ate. on the last night I bathed in cold water due to some problem. Staff apologised and told me I should have called them - it does not make sense as it was very late at night and even if I managed to call them (which I don’t know the number) to fix the problem, I will not be able to sleep on time.

The underground carpark was very squashy and made it extremely difficult to park our car, let alone open the doors and get out of the car(!); then when we were given our room on the top floor with no balcony (the booking was made in mid June for a room with a balcony and to add insult to injury, it was the only hotel on our tour that had requested payment one month before the stay!) and due to the extreme slanted roof ceilings we kept hitting our heads on the slanted ceiling, we were of course very disappointed! Especially, because we are both quite tall and had to constantly duck down to get around the bed and the room in general! When we asked why we weren't provided with a room on a different floor with a normal ceiling and a balcony as initially booked and paid for well in advance, the receptionist responded, "Oh sorry we are fully booked and cannot change your room!
The breakfast buffet was fine and the reception area with a lift to the upper floors was pleasing, plus the central location in the town and close vicinity to the esplanade etc.

Front desk staff on arrival were not at all welcoming, sadly, including trying to encourage us to pay the city tax in cash and expressing his reluctance to accept debit card. An awful lot of noise from outside that you had to endure if didn’t want to boil to death in your room as there was no air conditioning. We weren’t told that there was a restaurant just for those with bed & board and then we went over to the main restaurant we waited for 15 minutes before leaving as no staff came to take our order. The rooms weren’t clean: there was dust on the bedside tables and the bathroom counters. It wasn’t a clean room. The elevator took so long to come it was easier and quicker to struggle down the stairs with heavy bags rather than wait. Very narrow entry to the bedroom - you couldn’t have the wardrobe open and the bathroom door open at the same time.
Nice location, 5-10 minute walk from the station. Nice foyer.
