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 StatesI don't recall requesting a quiet room, but if I had it definitely was not accommodated. The room was located at the top back corner, windows facing out to the courtyard where children play, people gather, and walk their dogs. I also felt the room was very cramped for a deluxe double.
The room was tidy, clean and nicely furnished. The lighting variety was wonderful and the bathroom/shower were amazing. The location was also very convenient - close to restaurants, pubs and the beautiful cathedral/train station. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. This is always appreciated when traveling internationally.

United KingdomThe hotel was comfortable and everything was clean and ran well. People make the difference between one good hotel and another. Ingmar who was in the restaurant when we had breakfast and around reception too was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. He stood out and made sure we had what we wanted and gave helpful advice on directions. The location was excellent within easy walking distance of the station and close to the cathedral and centre.

United KingdomThe room was warm, but that is nit-picking and tbh, I just didn't take the time to work out the air con, so the fault is mine. The windows were great and were multi-dimension opening.
The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The room was really comfortable, incredibly central near the main squares and had great views. The technology in the room was fab, as was the shower gels (L'Occitane). What was so lovely, was hearing the beautiful chimes of the wonderful church next door.

The location, the staffs, and the clean room are just perfect. I had a very pleasant experience. Also, we checked in at around 11.45 am and they upgraded our room to suit room. Staffs were really helpful about everything, they let us leave our luggage at the lobby. Thank you for everything:)

BelgiumSome small things that needed to be improved: the room was dusty, the bathroom sink was clogged, the make up mirror wouldn't light up, there was a lack of cushions on the bed... If you're watching tv, only one pillow isn't enough and there is also a need for hand towels vs hair towels. Last but not least, would have been great to have a fridge. Hope this helps. The huge added value of this hotel is the location.
The location is perfect, right next to the Christmas markets. The welcome was warm and check in was effective. Due to over bookings we were upgraded which is great. The bed is comfortable and the decoration is stylish

We arrived an hour earlier than the Check In time and were given a room upgrade. We got Room 10 and it wildly surpassed our expectations! Room with a View and what a view, overlooks the square where the Xmas markets were being held. It was lovely just to sit/stand by the many windows looking out to the folks enjoying themselves, looking in awe at the wonderful twinkling lights & smelling the gorgeous food & drinks!!

IndiaThe Legend Hotel in Cologne truly lived up to its name! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the impeccable cleanliness and the incredibly kind staff who surprised us with a free suite upgrade. Talk about value for money! The location couldn't have been better, with the magical Christmas markets right outside our doorstep. This made it so easy to pop in and out for some Glühwein and festive shopping. What really set this hotel apart from others we've stayed at in Europe was the attention to detail. They provided all the little things that make a big difference, like slippers, bottled water, and a full range of bathroom essentials. It's clear they've put a lot of thought into ensuring a comfortable stay for their guests. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the Legend Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cologne. We can't wait to come back!

MalaysiaRoom was a bit too hot and the electric blinds were a bit too confusing. Personal preference - i prefer flufflier towels and firmer pillows
Room was nicely designed with good view and close proximity to all the old town, cathedral, shops, train station and christmas markets Friendly and helpful team. They serve very good cocktail and food at their restaurant. Its definitely a must try.
