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.).

Didn't have shower cabinet despite having enough space in the bathroom for it, in stead had an already old shower courtin. WiFi very weak and slow.

CanadaIt would have been nice if breakfast were served earlier. Some of the food could have been served hotter.
Good sized room, great location, with fine view from balcony, and delightful sound of babbling water from nearby creek. Most staff spoke some English, which was appreciated ... although they did appear rather dour: smiles are nice to see.

HungaryDespite of the written description of the room there was no fridge which is a major mistake... Not a big problem, but please note that the reception is not always manned, you have to go to the restaurant to find the staff - we found out after five minutes of waiting
Good location, 10 minutes by car from Rila monastery, nice place in the mountains close to the river. Room is spacious, good balcony. The restaurant offers good variety of food (try the Kawarma, Bulgarian speciality!) and the wine list is amazingly good, Bulgarian wines are great and very inexpensive.

RomaniaThe food at the restaurant ( taste, prezentation, the name of the food in the menu ) suggests something different than they bring to you. I ordered stewed vegetables and I got defrosted mexican vegetables. I asked for cabbage salat and, instead of a salat bowl, I got some little salat near my stake.
Nice place, close to Rila monastery, but the food at the restaurant is bad.

United StatesEverything was terrific --- the location, the room, the facilities, the restaurant, etc. Also, very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
We had limited time to visit the Rila Monastery, arriving late in the afternoon from Plovdiv, and needing to leave early the following morning for the Sofia airport, so we wanted to stay as close to the Rile Monastary as possible This accommodation not only filled that bill, but it turned out to be much more comfortable and special than we had anticipated. The somewhat rustic lodge is located on the banks of a beautiful mountain stream, which our spacious room overlooked. We booked a larger room with a balcony, and it was well worth the extra cost, particularly since the rooms are reasonably priced to begin with. The restaurant at the lodge is wonderful, with a good selection of local dishes, including mountain trout. Hotel Gorski Cut was so nice, we regretted that we couldn't stay longer to simply enjoy the quiet mountain location. (Also, plenty of free parking on the premises.)

United StatesThe internet was bad. Not all rooms had air conditioning opposite to what the property claimed (however, this is not a negative since the area gets quite cold during the night. The receptionist was never at her location. The restaurant was crowded (weekend).
Rooms were better than what I was expecting based on the published pictures . The food in the restaurant was very traditional for the area and great on taste! The location to Rila monastery was great by car but not by walking (5km).
