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...).

NetherlandsIf you want to make use of the parking garage, please be aware that it is a steep hill you have to drive down and also have to drive up when leaving the garage. Door of the bathroom is a sliding door which cannot be locked. Not really a negative point, just something to be aware of.
We were staying two nights in the hotel for a concert in Grugahalle, which is centered next to the Atlantic Congress Hotel. Room and bathroom were very spacious and clean (more than we expected). Room had a modern feel to it, same goes for the bathroom. The beds and pillows were also very comfortable to sleep in, we had two separate beds, but these could be moved next to each other if wanted. Furthermore, the room was not noisy, except for the sounds from the concert to which we were going. No sounds from the hallway et cetera. Did not have the breakfast in the hotel, so no comment about that. But we did made use of the parking garage. which is accessed through the side of the hotel with a ticket and locked with a gate. If you want to use public transportation, there are lots of metro-stations nearby which are less than 5 minutes away. All-in-all had a great time visiting Essen and the hotel met more than our expectations!

GermanyAfter the concert we had to give names and room numbers to get back inside, which felt a bit uncalled for but I Assume it was because of prior bad experiences.
Easy access, 7th floor double room with window to the Parking Lot / Venue. Despite the concert it was quiet, well climatized because of the A/C.

United Arab EmiratesAttitude during check-in! It was announced that arrival will be much earlier compared to stated timing and request for early check-in was placed while booking. Upon arrival, the "power of check-in staff" was shown to really let me wait until last second and check-in was only done at 2pm as stated on website. Professional hotel operators offer early check-in for extra charges, which obviously are easily accepted, particularly after a long overnight flight without rest, something this hotel operator seems to understand for his business.
- General friendliness of staff in restaurant and housekeeping. - Very good quality of food.

AustraliaThe bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast room lacks charm. Biggest issue is some of the staff. The woman on reception when I checked out just stared at me and was brusque/downright rude for absolutely no reason. Staff member on breakfast reception, morning one, got very angry and stressed because certain patrons didn't have breakfast booked in the room rate and used credit cards.
The hotel is very clean. The breakfast is very good, as is the room service food.
