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...).

South AfricaAside from the internet service, which was not accessible during my stay, I had no complaints - especially considering the convenient location & the decent room rate for Berlin.
Good location along the Spree with direct access to the Ostbahnhof platforms. Good for money overall.

United KingdomRoom was a bit cramped for two people - not a major problem on a city break as we were out most of the day anyway. Would have liked to have tea or coffee facilities in room.
Fantastic location - literally in the Ostbahnhof station so great for exploring Berlin, and a stone's throw from both Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg neighbourhoods. Staff very helpful. Room very clean. Hot and powerful shower, Comfortable mattresses. 12pm checkout very much appreciated too!

AzerbaijanDue to being in the railway station, there can be too much noise coming from passerbys, during the nights. As the unit didnt have air conditioner, noise was really a problem when we had to open window.

North MacedoniaThe pillows should be replaced for better (normal) ones; the one's they have are of square shape and very soft..not very convenient for sleeping. Also the wifi is not the best and should be improved...
The hotel is located right at Ostbahnhof Station, so instant access to S-bahn and RE trains. Also there were alot of bakeries and food places inside the station, aswell as Rewe and Penny markets in the underground level. Only 500 meters from the start of East Side Gallery. The hotel also offers a card with unlimited transport within ABC zones for the duration of your stay, which includes u-bahn, s-bahn and buses (you have to register online as h-rewards member before you get this).

United KingdomWhen we arrived at the hotel we tried to use the self check in machine to check in. Despite having pre-paid, the check in machine told us that I still owed 15 euros. The lady at the check in desk was having some trouble with the till, and was slamming the cashier’s drawer aggressively whilst swearing repeatedly under her breath. As I could see she was busy with something, I patiently waited for her to be finished with what she was doing. However she looked up at me and rudely told me that there were self check in desks for a reason and went back to what she was doing. As it turns out, I was correct and should not have been charged the 15 euros. The lady rectified this, but provided the worst service I have ever experienced whilst checking in to a hotel. I was genuinely shocked at how poorly a hotel guest could be treated at check in, the experience can only be described as hostile. Even though the hotel was great value for money, I would not consider giving money to this hotel again.
The location of the hotel was amazing and it was great value for money. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Despite being so close to the train station we couldn’t hear any noise from passing trains.

United KingdomI thought was exceptional value for money. Goog clean quiet room, great location by station, and close the Berghain etc. We usually stay at NHow, or Holiday Inn East Side, but this hotel was a more than adequate replacement at a lot less money

United KingdomWould have been good if there had been air conditioning; temperature was OK during my stay but if it had been during the summer or unseasonably hot, it could have been an issue. I also had issues with the wifi connection speed and stability - it kept dropping out on my laptop, meaning that I was unable to do some work stuff that I had hoped to do whilst I was away from home. My room had a view of an internal "courtyard", so nothing interesting to see.
Spacious, clean room and bathroom. Fridge in main room which was very useful as breakfast was not included so I could buy my own food and keep it in the room; due to the excellent location there were 2 supermarkets within the Station complex and several places to get warm food too. Opening window; seems that there was no aircon but the room was warm enough and there was a pedestal fan (that I did not have to use).
