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...).

IsraelThe breakfast was less varied than the usual standard, and the staff took some time to refill missing things.
The staff was kind. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel is small but has everything needed. There is good accessibility with the elevator. The location is good, just a few minutes from the tram station. The hotel gives a boutiquish and a cozy vibe at the same time.

United StatesOnly drawback was not having front desk staff later in the evening.
The staff is amazing!!! They are incredibly accommodating and helpful. The vibe of the property was relaxed and friendly. The breakfast is outstanding. They have a chef cooking your eggs and food was generous without being to much or wasteful. You couldn’t ask for a better location to the Christmas markets.

United StatesWeird system to check in. You get to the location then have to call a number to get someone to come unlock and check you in. Verizon phone decided not to have coverage at that time so we stood outside (in a not so great area) for about 45 minutes trying to figure out what to do. Finally some other guys came to check in so they made the call and we all got in. Location is a ways away from anything and we didn't find a bus stop close by. This is the only stop we had on our 3 week trip that we hired taxi for all our transportation needs.
Lady that runs it is very nice and helpful. Room was adequate. All was fine once we got into the room.

Very helpful and friendly staff,. Period building in a street just a short walk from Neumarket, the shops, trams etc. Plenty of choice on where to eat locally. Good suggestions from the staff. Room was equipped with kettle, hob, fridge and coffee machine, so if you wanted to, basic self catering is possible. Vegetarian breakfast was very good.

United KingdomNo complaints
We had a suite at the top of the building and it was really spacious. Loved the balcony though it was a bit too hot to sit outside for long. Great location - it felt like quite a walk from the train station but there were loads of really good bars and restaurants nearby so we didn’t have to go far. It felt far less touristy than the area by the station and cathedral.
