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...).

GreeceOne thing to note—the shower space is quite narrow, but this seems to be a common issue in many Italian hotels. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, but something to keep in mind if you prefer more spacious bathrooms. Also the pillows were on the thinner side, which some guests might find uncomfortable, but there were plenty available, so I stacked a few to reach the comfort level I’m used to.
was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful hospitality. For my birthday, they welcomed me with a small bottle of wine and accommodated an early check-in—such a kind gesture! The hotel's location is superb, nestled in the heart of the city and within walking distance of major attractions like Piazza Maggiore and the Two Towers. This central position made exploring Bologna effortless. When booking a hotel, I have three key requirements: central location, cleanliness, and a comfortable bed—and Hotel University delivered on all three. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the overall experience was great. Additionally, the staff were consistently friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a well-located, clean, and comfortable place to stay in Bologna, this hotel is definitely worth it!

I was amazed by the staff always so nice and helpful, the hotel cleanliness, location, comfort, and value for money. Could not have chosen a better place. When I first booked, I thought this could have been a hotel mainly designed for students, but not at all. It is perfect for adults who are looking for a quiet stay. Definitely recommend! I believe the hotel should be a 4 rather than 3 stars.

RomaniaBreakfast was ok-ish; I would add more food options.
Liked the location, the fact that it was small and cosy, that it was quiet and welcoming and that I had heat - as I travelled in December, so quite cold outside. The place was also easy to find, on foot, from the bus stop, so all the better. All in all, it's a nice stay if you have a couple of days or a little over and if you're looking for a nice, quiet, cosy place to rest your head.

BelgiumEverything was fine, but when I entered the room, I found two long hair in the shower and on the toilet floor, likely from the cleaning staff.
The location was excellent, right in the historical center and very close to the main attractions, just a 15-minute walk from the train station. The receptionists are very helpful.

RussiaI liked everything. Nothing to complain about.
The place is a decent 3-star hotel with a reception, so you do not have to inform about the precise time of your arrival, which can be of help in situations with late or cancelled trains to the city. The hotel is located in the area popular with students, so you will find many osterias, bars and restaurants with reasonable prices. The breakfast was tasty and sufficient, the lady in the basement breakfast room was happy to bring you another cup of cappuccino. Everyone was smiley and friendly.
