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.).

GreeceThe carpets in the room could be better cleaned. The colors of the carpets do not really assist the cleaning personnel in pointing out all the hair that lays on the carpet. Nothing major, but any hair in the room seem to be a sticking on the heels of the white slippers that you provide with the room
Hotel has a modern feel to it. Room was spacious. Lighting was well implemented. Most of the staff at the reception were eager to help. Value for money a Great choice!

United StatesThe lobby reaks of cigarettes and cheap air freshener as everyone smokes right outside the rotating doors at the entrsnce. The parking is around back and not clearly labeled when visiting the hotel for the first time.
The rooms are large and clean. The breakfast is excellent, although also fairly expensive for what it is.

United KingdomThe air conditioning was not working properly, we couldn't sleep well due to this temperature issue we were sweating during our sleep, very inconvenience situation. We took this up with the reception to check but they couldn't do much due to climate control problem. Please pay more attention to the room temperature and the receptionist can be friendlier in the future, especially the female employees can be beter.

SwedenBad service in reception and spa, rude. (Pickolo and staff next to the taxi + room service were very serviceminded). The pool comes for an extra cost. Very expensive. Very bad! Specially with kids you pay a lot of money and you can only use the pool for two hours a day. We were told to get fruit basket + sparkling and we called two days for it. Nobody came and nobody told us no. They said okey and nothing happened.
Big, beautiful rooms with a great view. Very good standard. Good cleaning and very comfortable beds.

United KingdomNavigating the hotel was confusing, the lifts don’t all go up to the hotel rooms and the spa is accessed via a different lift. The outside of the hotel looks a little dated.
A great location, easy to access from Sofia airport. The rooms and beautifully furnished and designed with excellent views.

BulgariaIf you book the hotel through Booking.com they charge you 40 leva a night for parking,it is free only if you book it over their own website. So if you stay there for longer periods it gets expensive.
A very nice hotel, which I visited before.The rooms are big and sunny, the beds are comfortable and the restaurants are great. I would stay again there.

Estonia- Rude reception lady that doesn’t even know what should be in the suits upon arrival of the guests. Tried to shake me off. It may be also just local specific as I experienced similar in other places. Don’t hold any bad feelings, but urge others to be firm and calm in what you want - The room wasn’t clean for our arrival - Breakfast is ok, but frankly it’s not 5* experience. Maybe 4*. I’d recommend to have it at least once and then decide. - Spa was average. Good if you want to relax a bit, but sauna, especially the Finnish one was a disaster from many perspectives. I would recommend to hire someone from Finland to check it out and redo
- The suite was spacious and good quality furniture - The view gave a few options and since we were on 23rd floor we could see the whole city, and the mountain - Very comfortable bed. I usually have issues sleeping in hotels but this time I slept like a baby
