How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewWhat a nice little surprise this hotel and restaurant were! Great location in the center of Spay near the river. Parking was free and near the hotel. The decor was very charming, with lots of wood, antiques, and items from nature. The room was comfortable, although there was no AC. Thankfully it was a comfortable day! We were there to see the Rhine in Flames and worried it might be noisy outside, but it was fine. We chose to eat dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. We were seated outside which was lovely & the food was quite good. Breakfast was GREAT and included in the price. I highly recommend staying here!
AC in the room would have been nice. We are super early risers so an earlier breakfast would have been nice.

The restaurant was not open, despite Booking.com stating the hotel had a restaurant. The only option for us was a camping ground dining option.

Verified reviewBreakfast plentiful with enough choice. Location ideal for an over-night stay, solo traveller. There is free parking on the street or car-park opposite. A friendly, helpful and charming receptionist.
The Alter Post was fine; no complaints there ... I arrived on a Monday and nearly every place in the area that I looked at was not open for food or drinks etc. So, check beforehand.

Verified reviewNice experience. The staff was accommodating and attentive. Quiet, clean, good breakfast, and cute location close to a walkway along the Rhein.
Slightly dated furniture in the room, but new bathroom and comfy mattress made up for it.

Verified reviewThis is a lovely old building and the rooms are clean and comfortable
When we arrived (early) the hotel was closed, then a member of staff arrived and phoned someone who spoke English, who didn't know about our booking. Then they gave us a room key on the doorstep. I messaged them to let them know that we would return to the hotel in the evening as the restaurant was closed and we were eating out. When we got back to the hotel at 8.30pm it was in darkness and no staff were present. We found our room which was lovely. In the morning we went down for breakfast and it appeared like there were no staff around again so we helped ourselves to some breakfast. I went to leave the key on reception and there was a member of staff there who asked me to pay (even though I had paid online) eventually she agreed that I had paid. I was so disappointed as we chose this hotel because we've been to the restaurant before and thought it would be lovely to stay there but the staff - or lack of staff- felt very strange. The person I spoke to on reception was quite unfriendly. I think we expected more as it is a hotel

Verified reviewWe booked last minute, room was really too small but it was clean and staff were sweet. Breakfast was ok. Continental. The rooms are not handicap friendly and have a steep stairs to climb and after mentioning we are an aged couple… gave us a room at the end of a long corridor! So if you want to stay here , book in advance and ask fr a comfortable room.
We booked last minute, but that doesn’t excuse to be given the smallest corner room! Reading reviews of spacious room, we had booked and also Booking.com gave us a discount but very very small room!!! No space at all… last minute booking punished???? Not at all like described as in booking.com

Verified reviewVery quaint, historic hotel, on the bus and train route. Lovely area, beautiful surroundings, so pleasant to go walking around the area. The food at the restaurant was excellent.
It was quite hot and there was no fan or air conditioner in the room. It rained heavily in the night, so we couldn't keep the windows open.The hairdryer didn't work.

Verified reviewPretty property , near train station, clean.
We stopped night of Tuesday 22nd August, we knew the restaurant was closed However the day before we arrived we were informed by the hotel that we had to collect our key from a box outside the hotel using a code.The reception and the bar were shut. We needed help to get food and drink as we’d arrived by train , as it transpired all the other places to eat and drink in Spey were also shut on this Tuesday. After walking around Spay for 2 hours we ended up buying up buying crisps and water from a garage.
