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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The rooms facing the nearby ring road might be a bit noisy, specially if you open the window.
A very nice hotel in an interesting location by the lake. Deliciuous breakfast, very friendly staff, free spaciuos parking just in front, a swimming pool and a sauna. You can't walk to the city center, it's a bit too far, but the hotel provides an easy and free transfer. :)

- • Couple
- • City Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The room was pretty small and the bed wasn't that comfy (huge pillows) and it had a view of a wall (apparently a historic one). It is also very expensive at like 200 euro per night, which includes parking and breakfast (which wasn't that spectacular as well)
The biggest plus of this hotel is its location, it's 5 minutes away from all the shops and restaurants of Groningen. It also offers relatively cheap garage parking, a couple of minutes away from the hotel - this is especially important as this part of the city is not accessible by car. The staff was really nice. The hotel is very modern and definitely a nice place to stay.

The bathroom smelled weird and the single bedroom was quite small compared to the price to be honest. No refridgerator in the room.
Good location, friendly staff and awesome breakfast! Very close to resturants, the supermarket (Jumbo) and the hotel also had a parking garage for my rental car.

In the single room on the fifth floor you could hear the annoying noise due to the proximity of the elevator.
The staff was very nice. The location of the hotel was ideal in the city center, the bus stop was also nearby. It was nice to see the changing image on the big screen in the hall. The breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean.

Would have preferred bigger cups to enjoy a cup of tea as the only cups provided were espresso cups which were too small for tea. Pity you cannot see out of the windows as they are narrow windows high up. But was good that we got some natural light in the room. Other than that no major complaints.
Location was perfect. An easy 15 minute walk from the station. Close to the city centre with many eating places nearby. Bus stops close by, but honestly very easy to get around Groningen even on foot. Room was small but comfortable. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good. Great that there was a coffee machine in the room. Would definitely stay again.
