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 reviewThe hotel has an original design. The room is comfortable, with power sockets conveniently located throughout. The mattress is comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near the center, with easy access to nearby transport links.
The luggage storage is subject to a fee. If you arrive before check-in time and plan to explore the city and check in later in the evening, it is more economical to leave your luggage at the station.

Elevator really slow. You can’t leave your bags , need to pay extra for each bag(online) . And hotel don’t take cash , just cards
Hey Olesia, Thanks for your feedback! We totally get that the elevator can be a bit slow and that our bag fees might catch you off guard. Also, we only accept card payments to keep things smooth and secure. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Cheers, MEININGER Hotel Dresden Zentrum

The sink isn't divided from the bedroom, and you hear when people use it.

The fact that you have to pay to leave your luggage till your room is ready, and it is not precisely cheap. I found this totally out of order… and for this I won’t be returning

Verified reviewGood location close to the train station. 24h reception and clean rooms. Great value for money.
The beds could be a little more comfortable.
Hey Vicky, Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location and found our place to be a good deal. We'll definitely take your thoughts on the beds into consideration for the future. Take care, MEININGER Hotel Dresden Zentrum

Verified reviewI was more than happy with this choice, even if it was the last available one for the weekend. The room was spacious (with 6 beds), had a table and a few chairs, many sockets and lockers for personal stuff - pretty simple, but in fact that's everything you need. Separate WC, a shower and a sink in the room - so that the 6 people could devide their morning-routine and everyone get's their things done. A towel was included - big thanks for that one too. Location is just perfect - directly by the main train station (Hbf). There is LIDL inside Hbf, so pretty close. Thank you very much for the weekend in Sächs.Schweiz!
Breakfast was too expensive for me. At least the most expensive that I've taken in other hostels until now.
Hey Ugne, Thanks a ton for your awesome feedback! We’re stoked to hear you loved the spacious room and that it worked out great for your group. It sounds like you made the most of the setup with all those beds and the in-room facilities. Plus, can’t beat that location, right? We totally get that breakfast prices can be a bit steep compared to other places. We aim to offer a variety of options, but we understand it might not suit everyone’s budget. We appreciate your thoughts on that! Thanks again for choosing us for your weekend in Sächs.Schweiz. Hope to see you back soon! Cheers, MEININGER Hotel Dresden Zentrum

Verified reviewCity tax in this hotel was withdrawn twice - first time during online check-in couple days before arrival. And the second time when surprisingly unfriendly girl at the reception said "I do not see you payment in our system, show me your bank statement of the payment", and when I provided what she requested, she still said "well, you should pay the city tax, I do not see your payment in our system". Small amount indeed, but very unpleasant attitude.
Hi Ekaterina, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with the city tax and the interaction at reception. That’s not the vibe we want our guests to have! We totally understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with that situation, especially when you already made a payment. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely look into how we can make things smoother for our guests in the future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you consider giving us another shot someday! Best, MEININGER Hotel Dresden Zentrum

Verified reviewThe hotel is located right next to the train station and very close to the center of the old city, it's very convenient. Bed was very comfortable, there was a power socket right next to it and a space for baggage in the room (you need to have your own locket). The dormitory has it's own toilet, sink and shower whch is soo comfortable. There is a towel included for each bed. People at the reception were very nice and helpful. Once you check-in you can access the lift from the outside of the hotel which is also super comfortable. I stored my baggage before checking-in, it was 6,50€ (so with a small baggage I would probably not do it but that's up to everyone personally).
I know keeping the dormitory clean is probably a big issue and it was generally nice buuuut the shower/sink area seemed more and more dirty each day (I was there for 3 days).
Hey Karolina, Thanks a bunch for your feedback! We’re stoked you enjoyed our location and found the bed comfy. It’s great to hear that our reception team made your stay even better. We totally get your point about the shower and sink area. Cleanliness is super important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this up. We’ll make sure to keep an eye on it so future guests can enjoy that fresh vibe throughout their stay. As for the baggage storage, we understand that it might not be for everyone, but glad you found it convenient! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to see you back in Dresden soon!
