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.).

United StatesSmell of local raw sewage would occasionally permeate from river area, which was challenging at night when you have to leave the windows open for circulation. Also detracted from an otherwise terrific, romantic dinner.
Excellent and unique facility. Museum-like art everywhere, interesting local history and activities (boating on the Danube, shops in town, visiting churches, visiting nearby Melk Abbey). Good onsite breakfast and dinner option. Romantic dinner setting. Good size room with sitting area and good size bathroom; exceed most European-sized bathrooms, great amenities. Extremely clean.

United StatesI have absolutely no complaints!
It was so magical! I visited Dürnstein 36 years ago when I was pregnant with my son and had lunch on the terrace of this hotel and never forgot it. I lived in Asia for years afterwards & travelled all over the world & forgot the name of the town. I always dreamed of returning & spending a night at that hotel. I was finally able to return with my husband, my son who is now a man, and his lovely wife. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Durnstein is like Brigadoon, it has stood still in time & the hotel was as good or better than I remembered. It’s a magical treat! The beds, the food, the ambience! I have no words. It was an unusually cold summer so we couldn’t use the incredible swimming pool, but we had apricot liqueur in the evening by the fire in the elegant fireplace of the living room. It was one of the best days of my life!

United Arab EmiratesThe hotel is a historical building that used to be serve as an Abby. It is such a beautiful building decorated with historical artifacts. The gardens and the restaurant although understated, are beautiful with view of the Danube river and vineyards all around. We hired bikes from the hotel and there are so many bike routes to take to go to nearby villages. or simple ride by the river.

United KingdomThe lack of air conditioning is a big down side. we were on the third floor, during a week where it was actually not too hot (28-30°c), and it was pretty unbearable. there was just a cheap fan which was a bit rubbish. Even if you don’t want to install air con, it would be good to have a better fan or small cooling unit in the room. It’s meant to be 35°c next week and I feel for anyone staying in the room. Guest comfort has to be a higher priority, I’ve seen other reviews fobbed off with excuses for not having air con but there are alternatives. Management are located on the ground floor and might not realise how hot it gets on the third floor. Not good enough for an expensive property
It’s a gorgeous property. Our standard room was large and well furnished. We loved the pool!

United StatesThe pool chairs were stacked and you had to sort it all out and put it back at the end. It was a shame because the pool is really big and gorgeous but that area just looked kind of sad. Perhaps if they arranged just a few of the chairs so it didn’t look a haphazard.
The property is truly so beautiful. The view was amazing, the gardens were exceptional, the location was unmatched. The service was friendly and helpful! The rooms weee very clean and everything in the room worked properly. Overall an excellent experience and I would stay there again.
