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.).

United KingdomStaff were very unfriendly. Room was EUR 380 and very basic. Shower tray leaked everywhere as was broken, no water, coffee or tea were provided in the room even though a nespresso machine was there! Duvet and pillows were synthetic and of poor quality. Breakfast was of a low quality, milk was off, no pastries. Staff at breakfast were great though, very friendly unlike receptionists.
The location was very convenient for the centre of Dortmund and the train station.

GermanyWe stayed at this so-called "design hotel" for 2 nights. We paid in advance and immediately regretted booking this hotel. Upon arrival, we were told that our room nr 8 was approximately 30 metres next to the hotel parking garage door entrance and outside directly on the footpath. It turned out that it WASN'T even inside the hotel building ! It was a former hairdressing salon that had been converted into "hotel rooms." The "room" wasn't safe to sleep in as there was only a thin window between the room and the street. Despite having a key card to gain entry to the room, anyone standing on the pavement only had to smash the window to gain access inside. The room safe wasn't even working, so valuables (money, passports, house keys, car keys, etc) had to be in your bag at all times whenever leaving to go out. There was also no daylight in the room whatsoever as the window had been darkened to prevent anyone walking past from looking in ! Furthermore, we could hear EVERY noise made on the street, which made sleep virtually impossible...which was people walking past, talking, cars driving down the road, etc. There was also a constant draft in the room as there was a gap between the door and the floor. It was like being in a prison cell. We immediately complained about the situation and unfortunately had to sleep the first night in the "room" as the hotel was fully booked and we had already paid. Breakfast wasn't good, either. Not much choice apart from yoghurts, boiled/scrambled eggs and bread rolls. The hotel lift was extremely slow and rather tiny. It wasn't suited for more than one person carrying a small bag. Sorry.....this hotel won't be getting booked again next time I'm in Dortmund.
The location.

United States1) On the first night, my train got in at 3:45 am and my Google maps was not functioning well I.e. I couldn't find the property. The receptionist was supposed to answer the phone all night long, but I called many times and no one answered. I walked the streets for 25 minutes before I finally found it. The receptionist was sitting there when I arrived and claimed he'd been making breakfast the entire time I'd been calling and thus did not hear the phone. 2) The hotel claims to have an affiliate relationship with a commercial gym which guests can use for a mere 3 Euros. What's not divulged is that the hotel only has one card, which guests will have to give the gym to gain entrance. If someone is using the card already, other guests are out of luck and cannot use the gym for that low price. I was a victim of this scenario. When I asked if I could use the card in a couple of hours when it would likely be returned, the female receptionist coldly said that I could not since I'd already be checked out by then. I said every other hotel I'd ever stayed at had allowed me to use its facilities for the entire day on the day I checked out. This seemed like very stingy behavior. Later, she relented and said I could come back for the key. I tried that but she said the key was in use again so I was out of luck. She did let me leave my luggage behind the counter while I went to a different gym on my own dime and did a little sightseeing in town. When I came back to collect my luggage, I realized that I'd left a credit card at a store a ways away. I asked if I could leave my luggage again for another 45 minutes while I ran back to the store to retrieve my card. She said it was ok with her. I then went to the bathroom to put on some shorts (vs. pants) so I could save time. When I came back to the reception desk, the manager was there and said I needed to get my luggage and leave immediately. Obviously, this little extra favor was not ok with him.
Lots of choices for breakfast. Above average buffet (loved the real honeycomb). New waitress was very kind. She'd been there just a few days. The property was also very nice in refunding my last two days because of a medical issue with my friend that caused me to have to move to a different hotel. The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable. Convenient, quiet location near the Bahnhof.
