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...).

AustriaThis Novotel is very comfortable, however, I find the rooms a bit ''cheap'' - meaning, towels are really not very nice, the shower head broke and had to be fixed (although they fixed it very quickly, which I appreciated!) And I've stayed in the hotel twice in the last few months, and both times I had trouble charging my devices. Once I complained, it worked better, I don't really understand what the issue was - but it is weird. It's like they have extremely low voltage going to the plugs in the rooms. It's comfortable, but I find the hotel kind of the a similar quality to the Motel One, but the Motel One is better value for the money. Novotel's breakfast is much better than Motel One, but I think more than double the price.
I like the location, nice design hotel - and breakfast is wonderful, although the breakfast is really too expensive. (€25)The hotel is very comfortable, beds good nice size rooms and great decor. I also liked the free minibar offer.

Turkeythe pillows are too flat. Despite sleeping on two it felt like sleeping on no pillow at all. The aircon is also used for heating. This was not se great as the humidity in the room dried out. It is also very loud. But when you turn it off the room is very cold (during the winter time). Maybe it would have been better to have floor heating or standard radiator.
The hotel seems to be brand new. Everything is clean. Loved that the room has no carpet. Free mini bar. Apples, tee and candy free at the lobby.

NetherlandsOne minor point was that we looked out onto a construction site, but it didn’t bother us (no loud noise or anything).
Great new room that looks like the plastic just got removed from everything, the room was spotless en looks brand new. Our room was really luxurious and the bed was extremely comfortable, also a nice big shower and some nice chairs to sit in.

3 stops from Karlsruhe Central station and just a short walk across from the Kongresszentrum station, which had lifts so luggage wasn’t a problem. Also a short walk (or train ride) away to the centre of town (where the Christmas markets were located). Clean and attentive and friendly staff.

NetherlandsThe pillows are the only thing I'd mention here, it was too soft and not offering any neck/head support unfortunately.
Obviously renovated, the hotel looked brand new, not only the common areas but the room too. The bathroom is really nice, comfy chair in the good-size room next to the bed and comfy bed as well. Parking available. Very good breakfast options and bar just next to the reception area. The room was SPOTLESS clean and the staff at the check in very easy going and friendly. Less than 10min walking from the city's main station, easy to walk if you do not carry large luggage.
