Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The stairs might be a bit steep for some people and the room was somewhat small, though the decent amount of compartments to store one's luggage made up for that.
The location is very convenient, our room was clean and the check-in and check-out were simple.

A tall mirror in a room would be a plus. Stairs may pose an issue for some people, as lift is not there due to property being a few hundred years old.
Central location - easy to get to all main attractions, friendly and accommodating staff, charming bar downstairs, good value for money, compact accommodation for tourists with an open mind.

The room we were given had a shower which had two out of three sliding doors which meant the floor got wet when we showered. The hand soap was secured to the shower and the shower gel was secured near the sink.
Incredible location and decent rooms. Housekeeping was a good touch. Mostly clean. Good for a short stay.

Steep stairs (with narrow steps) bags could be get difficult to get up and down and ....but lady that checked us in helped bring them up the stairs. Low water pressure in shower
Location was excellent literally less than a five min walk to Central Station and Tram stops No air con but a fan in the room which did help and the noise of the fan drowned out the noise of a close by bar ...which didn't bother us this is a central location so some street/bar noise is expected no complaints on that Room was small (but not tiny) and comfortable with plenty sockets and room to store suit cases out of the way

No elevators, steep stairs. Noise from outside (comes with territory since we're in the the heart of it all). Regardless, would return.
Cute and Well located hotel - right along a commercial street and very close to the harbour and Central Station. Arrived before check-in time and the front desk attendant L....a was a complete gem. She was very friendly, professional and accommodating. I was able to leave luggage in the store room until official check-in time. Room was comfortable and there was fan to help with outside being 29°C. Would definitely return!!
