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...).

United KingdomHowever, there are a couple of areas where there is room for improvement. Firstly, the room temperature was uncomfortably warm during our stay. We had to resort to leaving all the windows wide open to try and cool down the room. It would be beneficial to have better temperature control options, such as adjustable air conditioning or fans, to ensure a more comfortable environment for guests. Secondly, it was disappointing to find that there was no complimentary water in the room. This is a small but important amenity that is commonly expected in hotels. Having complimentary water readily available for guests would be a nice gesture and greatly enhance the overall guest experience. Addressing these issues would significantly improve the comfort and convenience of the stay, allowing guests to fully enjoy their time at the hotel.
I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service provided by the hotel staff. Despite arriving at the hotel late in the evening at 10 pm, they went above and beyond to accommodate us and even prepared a delicious meal for us in the adjoined restaurant. This level of dedication and customer service truly exceeded our expectations. The rest of the staff at the hotel were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm and approachable nature made us feel right at home. They were always ready to assist with any questions or requests we had, which enhanced our overall experience and left a lasting positive impression. Another standout feature of our stay was the tranquil and quiet location of the hotel. It provided a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, allowing us to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day of traveling. We were pleasantly surprised by how peaceful the surroundings were, contributing to a restful and uninterrupted sleep. The highlight, however, was the option to sit outside for breakfast. It was such a joy to start the day in the fresh air, enjoying a delicious meal while taking in the surroundings. The outdoor seating area provided a lovely ambiance and added another delightful aspect to our stay. We are truly grateful for the outstanding hospitality provided by the hotel, from the late-night meal to the friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere.

United KingdomLACK OF A/C and not even a portable fan to cool the hot air. We were on the 2nd floor and t he temperature in the room exceeded 30C . Staff not speaking English. No bottled water provided by the hotel. Also no information from Booking.com that hotel is being refurbished and no rooms on the first floor available due to this. I have difficulty walking, so it was very hard to climb to the room. I noted that despite being a Genius 1 level i didn't get any discount for this stay. Can you explain why, please?

GeorgiaI can't say that I didn't like anything. The only downside is that the hotel is located about an hour from Gelsenkirchen main station. However, the location itself is great, within walking distance of Sankt Urbanus Kirche. Tram 302 and then bus 383 will take you from the station to a stop near the hotel.
Clean and comfortable rooms with an Italian restaurant just outside. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, served in a traditional Italian style.

Fantastic hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the food in the restaurant was great - both the pasta they dished up for us with no fuss at 22.30 after the football and the breakfast included in the price of the room. We came for the Euros, so booked what we thought was a cheap and cheerful hotel that would fit the bill, safe to say La Scala far exceeded expectations. (They also let us stay and do a couple of hours work in the restaurant after checkout which was incredibly helpful).
