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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaTo equip with a kettle and hairdryer would be nice. No aircon so it might be hot in warm weather.
Very special and unique place, inside an ancient monetary and on top of the hill looking over the valley. Simple but clean and comfortable. Especially if you are seeking peace of mind or to meditate, this is the place to be….

The location 10-15 min drive from all main tourist attractions, yet if rite on top of the hill so you get a quiet peaceful stay. If you want to live in a lively happening area this i not the place for you.

AustriaBeing on the taller side at 185cm the bed was a bit too short for me. I could not quite stretch out my legs. And the bed creaked a lot, which kept waking me up. Take these comments with a gain of salt, it's still incredible value for what it costs. Be careful about the restaurant though, you can work up quite a bill for fairly basic food.
I went there for mountain biking and I loved that the monastery offers single rooms that are accordingly priced. And it is right next to the trail area in Göttweig.

RomaniaThe photos of the room are informative, so if you dream like me, to see the sunrise from the circular window..
It is a pleasant, calming experience. Everything there exudes kindness and excellence. The location is wonderful, very clean. Breakfast was amazing. We arrived late, traveling on bicycles, and the monk who opened the gate was very helpful, he even led us to the room, asked if we had eaten anything or if we were hungry. You have a kitchenette where you can make coffee or tea, a fridge with different beers or juices, also the abbey wine and specific apricot nectar.

Poland- Limited reception opening hours - The only restaurant over there serves warm meals just for couple hours around midday, then it offers snacks, sweets and drinks till 18:00 only. Unfortunately, there's no chance to get any meal after 180:00.
- Unbelievably beautiful view of the surrounding area from the top of the mountain - Complete silence - Good breakfast

United KingdomAlthough WIFI is available in the outer rooms the signal weakens as you get to the furthermost rooms. Usually good enough for retrieving emails but not strong enough to stream or even to simply browse.
Located on top of a hill Stift Goettweig offers a relaxing stay in plain comfortable outbuildings. Breakfast served on the main terrace is a buffet with all you expect of any continental hotel, but does run down quite quickly so best get up early.

IrelandThe cheaper rooms are literally formerly monks cells. That may be what you are looking for. It you seek a bi of luxury, you will pay through the nose for it. The service was variable. Don't come after 2pm if you want real food. They only have sandwiches and cake. Restaurant closes at 6pm. My waiter tried to rip me off with the tip.
This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a must visit! However all things are not equal and you get what you pay for. The monks mix with the visitors and I had some very interesting conversations. The architecture is the finest, a magnificent example of its type. The views. What views.... as I said, a must visit, On the bike, these views are hard earned, in particular if you have laden panniers.
