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.).

GermanyThe single rooms are in a separate building (the hotel has a few different building that are either connected by a corridor or through the inner courtyard), which is absolutely okay but they are extremely dark interiorwise and there are not enough light sources in the rooms. So if you plan to do some reading/research on a physical media, you can basically forget it. Also no minifridge.
A really nice location right next to the Alster, so you’re directly on the water and can go enjoy your morning coffee or jog right by the water. Close to the city centre but you have to walk through a few not-so-nice locations to get there during the night if there is no transportation. The hotel itself is in a nice area, though. Also very clean and the staff are very friendly.

Poland- additional city tax not included in the initial booking price (it came as a surprise to me) - no aircon in the rooms - and when I opened the window, it was too noisy and disturbing (my window was out to the inner yard with the car park but also the chairs and tables for guests relaxing) - really uncomfortable pillow - narrow shower cabin - it is as it is, but wider / bigger people may find it tight to fit in
- very good location, close to the street with lots of cafes and restaurants, close to the lake, cca 2km walk to the strick city centre - own parking lot - also a small underground park for cars < 1,8 high (cost 12€ per night) - cosy room - small but I found it sufficient for my needs and it felt really private - comfortable and wide bed (although single) - separate entrance from the back side of hotel

The desk: I needed to work one of the days. The desk was convenient and WiFi was pretty good. Curtains: it has external ones (electronically controlled) and good black out ones. You can sleep in darkness.
