Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 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 them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SwitzerlandFound the check in process complicated, went back and forth to the emails and the booking to found out how to get in and afterwards do the check in. I would have also appreciated more information before hand, like there is a self service toilet paper closet ;) the bathroom cabinet and the shower holder is way too high.
Is centric, modern and minimalist deco.

LatviaInterior in photos was nicer than in real life. Everything felt cheap, bathroom interior terribly dated with bathroom floors being stained and looking unpleasant. Although towels and bed linen were clean, some had some stains that’s cannot be washed - not pleasant to use. Floors were cleaned just in the area easily reachable, but heavy layer of dust below the bed and corners. There’s no sound insulation thus - everything happening around is well heard in the room! Be it neighbours coming to their rooms, late night loud talking and laughing or morning sex of someone next room - you hear it all!!
Although it is a self-check in hotel and no staff were present onsite, the ladies at the 24/7 chat were great - prompt responses and solutions to issues.

The chat worked well, and I was able to check in earlier

SwitzerlandI had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. First, I never received an email with instructions on how to self-check-in, which made my arrival unnecessarily stressful. The common areas were dirty, and my room wasn’t much better—there were stains on the bedsheets, which was completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the noise insulation was terrible. Every time the person above me flushed their toilet, it was extremely loud and disrupted my sleep. The worst part was at checkout. Despite following the instructions and leaving my key in the safe box as required, the hotel falsely accused me of not checking out properly. They even threatened to contact authorities, which was completely uncalled for. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of better options at this price point.

GermanyIt was sooooooo dirty. The floor looked like it wasn’t washed ever. The previous person forgot the empty shower gel bottle in the shower and they didn’t throw it away. It’s overpriced for the quality.

SwitzerlandThe hotel`s slogan is to be minimalistic. This works well but not when it comes to cleanliness. There is just too much old and new dirt around. Be it in the foyer, the floor of the lift, the communal male wc on the first floor as well as the room 112. The entire property needs a desperate deep clean. I guess this is the problem with self-check in places, there is no staff on duty to supervise housekeeping.
The area is central and convenient, on the tram line. The property is easy to find. The room and bathroom is spacious. The soundproof windows are excellent, they do keep busy traffic noise at bay. The mattress is comfy. The chat line communication with the staff was exceedingly efficient.

SwitzerlandThe hallway had a large electrical cable running across it by the stairs/elevator. It was safe but still rather bizarre for a high traffic area. The room was not well cleaned I found hairs in the bathroom and dust balls in various places in the room around the edges. I stayed there a year ago and it seems a bit rundown by comparison - also in the lobby. Elevator was slow - not sure this is a negative as I used the stairs (3rd Fl) and got a bit of exercise.
Location and room were excellent.
