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...).

SpainThis was my first time at a hotel run by students and I had a wonderful experience. All the staff at reception and at the breakfast were wonderfully attentive and professional. The hotel is quite modern, clean and spacious, the rooms are very comfortable and large, and the bathroom had an excellent shower. For breakfast they offer an open buffet which included a variety of cheeses, ham and pastrami, yoghurt, cereals, etc.., and they serve the best coffee I had during my stay in Amsterdam. There is a tram stop just infront of the hotel that takes you to Amsterdam centraal in about 15 minutes. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and I definitely recommend it for short or long stays in Amsterdam.

ItalyIt's a little bit outside the city center, but you can rent a bike from the hotel and arrive in the center in 10-15 min.
The breakfast was good, they also had gluten-free bread (for me that I have celiac disease is always a bit difficult to find gluten free products). The room was very spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaWe had one unpleasant experience with a member of the teaching staff speaking inappropriately to one of the students, hardly a good example of customer service. The student handled it well and we later praised her for her good grace. All of the students were very impressive. Having said that, the next teacher we encountered was everything one would hope for in this type of school.
We stayed for four nights in a spacious room. It is a training hotel and we found that the students went above and beyond as did most of the staff. It is located about a twenty minute tram ride from the main tourist area but this was not a difficulty at all, in fact it was quite advantageous. The tram stopped right outside the hotel and the attractions were within walking distance if you are prepared for about a forty minute walk. The price of the hotel was very reasonable especially with an included breakfast.

ChinaConsistency of the service should be improved somehow. Sometimes we don't know what to expect. Black coffee is served solely, then it should always be served solely.
Now i know why lots of comments said that the students brought energy and vitality to the atmosphere. It is! Everyone we met was so friendly and ready to help. The room is also spacious and clean. The facilities are simple but we have everything we need including private parking, good value for money. Tram 13 is just at opposite of the hotel, very convenient.

United KingdomThe pillows and bed mattress were not comfortable. That’s the only minus.
It was kind of different experience compared to ordinary hotel rooms. The decor, lighting and bed arrangements etc were unique and I loved it. It was super clean room. Special wishes to all the hard working students who made my stay a pleasant experience. I would give a 9/10 for the experience.

AustraliaI have nothing but good things to say about the service from all the students at Skotel however I did have a very bad experience with one of their teachers. There was a miscommunication regarding my room (the hotel’s mistake) and the supervising teacher spoke so rudely to both me and her students at reception. Her bad attitude and customer service experience was utterly appalling. The lovely student profusely apologized and the teacher not once apologized or offered any empathy, setting a horrible example of service for the students. She was working the morning shift until 4pm on 15/5, blonde bob haircut. She could have ruined an otherwise very pleasant stay just with her terrible demeanor alone. However in vast contrast the teacher working the afternoon shift from 4pm was absolutely lovely! Very professional, friendly and most importantly patient and kind when directing the students at reception. This does not go unnoticed.
All of the students working were extremely welcoming and friendly. Tram stop right out the front which takes you into the city centre in about 15-20mins. Big rooms, very clean, no noise, comfy beds and breakfast included.

United KingdomFresh products for savoury breakfast can be improved (only ham, cheese and a couple of bowls with tomatoes and hummus). Would be nice to get more toiletries(e.g. Showercap, toothbrushes etc) and bath towels are too small. Located far from the city centre, however tram 13 stop is just in front of the hotel and it goes directly to the centre and Amsterdam Centraal train station.
The room was a good size double with big comfortable king bed. Bathroom also good size with enough space to place your things. Shower comfortable and good pressure. The room is well insulated acoustically. It is pretty quiet despite facing the main street and being on 1st floor. Staff is composed by students of the hospitality school. All of them very professional and kind.
