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...).

Netherlands... the online booking system (although I undertstood the error was an isolated event. S@!^t happens)
They local staff put extra effort to effectively solve a difficult situation, apparently created by the online booking system, in the shortest possible time. The location near the freeway makes of the hotl a very easy stop on a long N-S journey.

United KingdomMore options in the evening meal menu. It was limited in the restaurant.
Very friendly and superb welcome, very helpful staff. Knowledgeable and very happy to give us plenty of time and help at check in. Room was spacious and very clean. Great facilities, including a nice gym and sauna. Breakfast was spot on. I loved the fresh pancake machine (a little too much!)

GermanyFor a 4stars, I had expected more. The superior room I stayed in was very Basic like an bigger sized standard room. The water from the shower coundn‘t maintain warm; it went sudenly very cold and then very hot. The room design was nothing special for a superior room at a 4 Stars rated. I still leave a „very good“ rating because it was still fine just that I had expected more for the Price Tag and the Rating.
The Location of the Hotel is well removed from the Hügels and bustles. So really nice to relaxed. The general atmosphere in the Hotel was easy going and comfortable. One probably will need to Book a shuttle drive unless driving with personal ride.

GermanyJust one single charger for E.V. honestly for such a big parking space and not cheap to park is unacceptable. Breakfast pretty expensive for the quality of food (fresh orange juice missing, omelet would be nice to have).

FinlandThe parking fee is extreme - 17e for the night. The stay itself is very reasonably priced given the quality of everything, but the parking fee should be considered as many will likely arrive by car given the hotel's ideal location for long road trips. A minor complaint is that the bathroom has some design issue which may result in partially flooded bathroom floor though the floor drain while showering in the bath tube.
The rooms are well equipped, well designed and in general the premises are very nice. Staff is welcoming. The parking lot feels safe and there were many free spaces to choose from. Easy to recommend this place for a night while traveling on the highway. Will come again later.

United KingdomDifficulty to heat the room up. One small radiator that struggled to cope with the wintery weather. My wife ate in the restaurant in the evening and found it disappointing food barely hot and probably reheated.
Nice big room, very clean, decent shower, really excellent breakfast. bar and catering on site. Great location. We use this place regularly. Staff very friendly and helpful

SlovakiaThe hotel feels quite dated, the rooms would deserve a renovation (mainly the bathrooms) The windows aren't very well isolated, you could still hear the highway The parking is overpriced, considering the parking lot is quite big (would be nice if it was included in the room price) Only one EV charger for such a large hotel - occupied all the time The breakfast smorgasbord could have more variety The staff (apart from the front desk) could only speak German
Good for an overnight stay (on a longer trip) Comfy beds, armchair, office table Plenty of storage Close to the A5 highway The whole hotel is pet friendly - no special rooms for people with dogs Green areas for walking our dog Good breakfast (although could be better), great coffee machine

SwitzerlandParking is way too expensive given there is no alternative. Likewise restaurant prices are too high for the quality offered and there is no alternative nearby. Good room prices are attracting guests, offset by high parking and food prices. Bathroom was old, smelly and flooded when showering.
Very friendly staff at reception and bar bistro, convenient location for stop-over next to highway, comfortable bed.

GermanyNot the hotel's fault, but the taxi into Ettlingen (10 minute ride) took long to arrive and was very expensive, as it had to come from nearby Karlsruhe. Staff were mixed. Some were very friendly and polite, others seemed a bit stressed or robotic.
Comfortable bed, good breakfast, convenient location close to the motorway. Free coffee, water and candies at reception. Decent sized room. Pleasant views.

United KingdomRestaurant overpriced for bought in poor quality frozen food reheated, which is shocking! See the Tirimusu picture below that alone was 14 euros! Menu attached too Other picture is the special of day, reheated frozen potato, packet sauce, bought in sliced meat….very poor indeed.
Good parking area although they charge you extra for the privilege of parking! But because it’s side of motorway everyone got to arrive by car, so it’s huge money maker!
