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):
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.
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.).

North MacedoniaIt was a bit warm in the room. There is just a fan, not a AC. At night the temperature was fine. The shower was clean but very small. Not a very good view from the room.
Great location, a few minutes from the main attractions. The breakfast was very good and with view of the river, but not included in the price. The staff was very polite and helpful. We came a day late, because our flight was delayed and they kept our room.

United StatesFirst room on floor 5 was tiny. Way too small for 1 person. Second stay I was on floor 2 overlooking the river. Better room. Hole in the wall near the bed and toilet kept running. Both rooms, no air-conditioning. Had to have desk fan on all night. Couldn't open window on floor 2 or the noise of the restaurant below was too loud to sleep.

-Staff was friendly and polite.There was no water boiler/kettle in the room so we borrowed one,staff gladly provided it. -Location is great.Nice view and near some attractions and resto's.

United KingdomDoes need updating and bathroom could do with a deep clean, some mould forming in areas. But clean on the surface!
Good budget hotel in the heart of Cologne. Major attractions are very close and loads of eateries on your doorstep. Room suited me well, very glad to have a fan during some hot days! Staff were friendly on check in. Good value for money.

GermanyThere was a terrible noise in the room. There was no air conditioning, only a fan, which was very loud. But if you turned it off and opened the window, there was still noise coming from outside. I’ve never experienced such indifference from hotel staff toward a guest. Overall, the hotel wasn’t bad, but I would never stay there again.
The location is excellent - right in the city center, close to the river, the Cologne Cathedral and the main train station. The room was fine.

AustraliaHottest hotel room I have ever stayed in, did not matter what time of day it was it was too hot. Staff was also non existent, giving me information other than my key and would often have the front door locked during the day
Great spot very close to Rhine, the Cathedral, restaurants and the hbf. Bathroom and room were clean and decent sized. Very good value for money

United KingdomThe hotel listed parking at the hotel, however the parking is at a close by location, public parking underground. 18 euros as described. We were traveling on motorcycles and they would not allow motorcycle parking in the underground car park so they recommended leaving the bikes out the front of the hotel, which wasn't ideal but the bikes were ok as it's a busy area. But it still left us apprehensive about leaving them there. You would be fine if arriving in a car.
Great location close to restaurants, cathedral, train station and other amenities. Staff friendly and helpful.
