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.).

FranceRoom a bit dated, quite expensive for a room that felt like a « staff studio » below the roof (which was quite warm for a sunny Hamburg week-end), expensive breakfast (not bad, but not worth that price)

IsraelA bit expensive.
Perfect location at the heart of Hamburg, close to the Uni and a walking distance from Dammtor. Particularly if you're interested in Kosher food, there are several options right next door. Very clean and quiet. Very helpful staff.

NetherlandsI found it rather expensive, though other hotels at this location had similar prices at that time. The rooms could use an update, though the bathroom was impeccable and nice. Wireless was poor (main house).
It is a charming hotel in a residential area of Hamburg, close to the university. Breakfast is fantastic and staff very friendly. Nice shower!

GermanyThe interior is quite old and doesn't match the nice building. The bathroom was very narrow, hardly any room to lean over the sink to rinse your mouth for example. No way to keep the room cooler in the summer (Bring your own fan!).
The location is very goog, nice neighbourhood and close to Dammtor station. The hotel room was clean.

IrelandI went to the bar one night was surprised that bar staff could not serve me a hot non alcoholic drink.
The location was close to a major rail line and a museum. It had lovely period features. The staff were generally friendly and welcoming. It was no problem to borrow an iron I would have like a kettle though.

United States1. The WiFi is awful and it only works after connecting and disconnecting several times. 2. There is no fan or AC. I requested a fan but they didn’t have one. It gets quite warm in Hamburg these days in July and keeping the balcony door open all night is not feasible. 3. They don’t do late checkouts.
The room was beautiful , spacious and comfy. The location is excellent.

SwitzerlandI am of an age when I am hesitant about having to climb into a bath tub to have a shower. The matresses were very soft. And I needed a second pillow.
The charming hotel near the Alster lake, university and city center offers big, comfortable rooms and bathrooms as well as an excellent breakfast. It covers several end 19th Century houses in the villa quarter close to the railway station Dammtor Bahnhof. It is not the first time I have stayed there and will not be the last time.

In a nice quiet location 8mins walk from S-Bahn and U-Bahn. The building dates back to the 1880s so has plenty of character but the room had all the expected facilities. WiFi worked well and the shower was hot.
