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.).

Australianothing from my memory
This is the most beautiful and amazing hotel I’ve ever stayed this time with my trip to Europe (Prague, Munich and Austria). “Suite with Balcony” room which has an amazing view you can see from your bed (yes! From the moment you wake up!). Breakfast is soooo good (heaps of choices and they all taste good) and dinner provided is nice as well. You’ll never feel starving because the food provided are good in quality and quantity. The reading spaces are fab! Originally was thinking about going to visit Hallstatt but then everything at the hotel is more attractive to me. This is a place I’ll recommend for all of my friend.

AustriaI realised on day 2 that rooms are not services, i.e. beds not made, dirty towels not replaced - that's a minus in my opinion.
Facilities are top quality, the idea with the books is great, the availability of beverages at all times, and the trust-concept, the place is really a retreat where you can relax.

Czech RepublicInsufficient information about the actual cost of food. When choosing accommodation, the hotel withholds information that may play a role in your choice of accommodation. The management does not see it that way, but in fact it is unfair competition.
A fantastic view that will completely disarm you. Absolute peace and quiet, a great place to relax. Thanks to the high altitude, you can avoid air conditioning in hot weather. It's just colder up here.

United KingdomWhile we found the concept of guests having access to thousands of books (pretty much like staying in a fusion bookstore/hotel) and beautiful facilities to read, we could not find a single book in English. All books are in German and the explanation we were given is that the hotel is trying to promote Austrian culture and local writers which is a great sentiment but when majority of the guests were foreigners, judging by the cars in the parking, not offering English literature just feels like a missed opportunity. We would have preferred to have a kettle for tea/coffee making in the room and there were no cups either to drink water. Our digital room key didn't work at night but this was resolved promptly by the very helpful housekeeper lady who lives on site.
A very unique experience. The hotel is located about 20 minutes drive from Bad Ischl, high up in the mountains. The roads are very good and safe to drive on. Upon arrival the manager of the hotel welcomed us and showed us around. Guests are recommended to remove their shoes and walk either bare foot or wear indoor shoes. The hotel specialises in providing a calm and peaceful environment for relaxing and reading. The communal areas are designed and decorated to take full advantage of the amazing view of nature around the hotel. Huge floor to ceiling windows and balconies let in tons of natural light. We were told there are over 1200 books on site (scattered around the communal space but also in the rooms) and guests are encouraged to explore different writers/genres. There is a large open plan kitchen, coffee/tea making facilities, wine fridges all of which are available for guests in a self-service manner. Items consumed can be added to the room bill and paid at checkout or paid by card on the spot. The room was extremely clean and very tastefully decorated. The bed was huge and comfortable. Lots of books all over the surfaces and our windows were overlooking the forest behind the hotel. The hotel is pet friendly and there were guests with dogs staying which was nice.

United KingdomI had to leave. I didn't get time to talk to the owner longer and I never managed to take any of the walks around the mountain. I fell asleep before I could see the night sky properly.
This is a special hotel. It has views to die for, a load back and nordic style interior design, lots of books. A place for the mind and the soul, with a great wine fridge. This place had better views than Wengen in Switzerland.

AustriaFood served for dinner and breakfast needs an improvement. Dinner was highly overpriced for what it is (for example fried noodles in the chili oil sauce with few pieces of vegetable) - it is better to eat somewhere else. We paid almost 70€ for 2pax and left disappointment - the other day we paid 80€ in Salzburg city center and had thousand times better experience, both in terms of food and service. During dinner light went off twice as there seems to be some sensors and staff needed to switch it back - okey for corridor, toilet, a bit weird in the main dining room during dinner time. Breakfast was super basic - for this price for the single night I would expect higher standard and bigger choice. There was basic cheese and ham store bought - we found the foil in the ham so we know for sure. It is a pity there are no local products served. Veggies served at breakfast looked like cut the day before as they were dried. It feels like hotel invested in building but is saving on everything that is possible to save on. There is no coffee machine or kettle in the room to make yourself tea. What is more, there was not even a glass in the room when we arrived - needed to ask for it. For 270€ for night I would expect at least a bottle of water… Check in was a bit painful since we made last moment booking and hotel struggled to find our reservation. Staff serving during dinner was very friendly but super slow - we waited long for the food that was just warmed up rather than freshly made. I understand it is hotel for relaxing and not hurrying up but there are limits. The room is not suited for longer stay as it has very limited place for hanging clothes. The bed is too soft for my taste.
The view in the mountain view room is truly beautiful as it overlooks Dachstein. Room is spacious and clean.
