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.).

The lakeside setting was absolutely beautiful and we spent time watching the ducks and looking at the towering mountains nearby. The breakfast buffet had lots of choices and the food was delicious.

United KingdomWe had a fabulous time. Loved the old building, with an excellent breakfast in the lovely old hall, the library, chapel and terrace. Fabulous views of the mountains, all across a beautiful lake. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and the staff all very helpful. And of course connections with the Soind of Music. A very relaxing stay.

United KingdomWhen we arrived the main building was still not tidied up from the wedding the day before, and tables were not tidied away in the music room. Whilst our pre organised upgrade was not available on arrival, it was swiftly dealt with.
For fans of The Sound of Music, there is nowhere better. The suites were comfortable and offer everything you would want. It was within easy walk of a nearby restaurant. It was extremely peaceful and a lovely break after the sightseeing in Salzburg.

CanadaThere was wedding party on the night we stayed in the hotel. It had been pretty noisy until midnight, The wedding occupied the main building and we didn't get to have a walk through until the next morning. Unfortunately, the mirror room also had a function and was inaccessible. The morning checkout was very slow close to 11am. There was a long queue at the reception lobby. Suggest to check out the night before or earlier to avoid the crowd.
Breakfast in the big hall is really the highlight. Fantastic view and service overall! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaThe interior could do with some cosmetic upgrades - new carpet and the rooms lack character.
A gorgeous location and some of the Sound of Music was shot on site. Beds were comfortable but the pillows were thin and flat - ask for extra. It was very hot when we were there and the hotel is not air conditioned but fans were provided in the room. The hotel is around 12 minutes drive from the centre of Salzburg but there is an excellent taxi service. Breakfast on the terrace was amazing for the view and the selection of food - best breakfast in Europe!

AustraliaSome areas could be better maintained, such as keeping the cafe area clean and simply putting out the cushions for the outdoor furniture without having to ask.

AustraliaThe only thing I could suggest is better pillows but the bed was super comfy and everything else was A++
The palace is amazing - truly something to behold. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Stunning beyond’s words. Bus into town almost right outside the property gates . It’s a little expensive but definitely worth it as a treat or special occasion. To maintain the property and grounds would be very very costly. A real gem.
