Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

GreeceNothing to dislike really!
The room was excellent! Very big, with big closet and room for luggage and desk. The bathroom was amazing, spotless clean with plenty of amenities and the shower was huge. The bed was very good and big, the fridge was full and there was a coffee machine with capsules. Everything perfectly cleaned with excellent service. The facilities were excellent with everything you need and the hotel was very close to train station and city centre.

United States of AmericaThere wasn't anything I did not like.
The hotel is beautiful and the rooms were immaculate. Staff was terrific and helpful in providing recommendations for places to see and dine in Utrecht. They even helped us charge the plug-in hybrid car we rented. Utrecht was an afterthought for us, but we were so glad we visited there. We had a full day and made the most of it - walking around the city, dining, and shopping. Some great bakeries restaurants. We drove there from Schipol and it was an easy drive. We liked that it was just outside of the city center - still only a couple hundred feet away. Close enough to be minutes away from main streets. We could stash the car and just tour on our won.

United KingdomThis is a beautiful hotel. Parking right outside the hotel, very easy to get to. Staff were lovely. Good sized rooms, loo was separate from the shower - bonus whether sharing with a friend or partner. Very well equipped, comfortable beds, selection of pillows. Great location, a few minutes from the centre of Utrecht and the main rail station. 25 mins into Amsterdam. Utrecht and its canals are far calmer than Amsterdam. Lovely bars and quaint shops.

LuxembourgGreat place to stay if you are coming with the car - they have spacious secured parking. We really liked the room as we could see there was a lot of thinking and put in designing the room. The hotel has two excellent restaurant but you need to reserve in advance. Highly recommended to do so.

NetherlandsThe standard house wine at the bar was a bit cheap, but definitely drinkable. Consider spending a little more.
Karel V doesn't disapppoint, I come here at least once a year, this time the reception staff was better than before. The "roman" wing is cheaper and new. The "napoleon" building has much more style. So if you have the money go for the old rooms.

SlovakiaI like to stay in hotels with some history and that was the case here. And I had a marvellous room, after discussing with the receptionist, with views to front and back. Ask for room 212. I’d also like to thank the staff for helping me get in touch with a garage to quickly sort out car trouble, much appreciated, Rob and Lenny.

LuxembourgAs I have said, the breakfast could be a bit more up-scale for the class of Hotel and the fantastic room it was served-in! The room was really great however access was only by means of walking to a nearby building and in our case through rain! walk
All was to our expectations! The breakfast room was exceptional whilst the offering at breakfast were just good. Location was very good with walking access to the central city. Parking was also very good and at a reasonable price.
