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 KingdomIt is not a big thing but important nonetheless. The glasses in the room were not really clean. They were just wiped but not washed. It was the only thing I didn't like. It is a great hotel and, a great location. The glasses should be in closed backs showing it was washed.
I had upgraded my room and it was a great room. The bed was comfortable, the couches were comfortable, large shower and a bide with a toilet.

IsraelWe had two rooms. For the elder kids on the first floor the basic room and for us and baby on the 5 th floor - executive room or something. Both rooms were very beautiful, but the cleaning of our room on the 5th floor was not good, one day they cleaned only the bathroom, the other day they cleaned everything, but didn't add shampoo and conditioner. The other thing with the room is that on the 5th floor you can't open the window and the air conditioner didn't work enough to cool the room. I asked for assistance, got a very polite but not informative answer, saying there is nothing to do with this now. The room on the first floor doesn't have such problems, they get good cleaning every day and were able to open the windows.
Very beautiful hotel with the vibe of old money. Excellent service, the staff was very nice, helpful and friendly. Very good breakfast with excellent coffee. The best bathroom i've ever been.

TurkeyHairdryer at the bathroom was awful. I is time to renew it with a brand new one. That one is not suiting with a hotel like this. If an ironing machine and ironing board were available it would be great.
Except just a few very small details, Everything was splendid about the property. Location was perfect, room was comfy and staff was very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThis hotel was outstanding. I can't suggest any improvements.
The room was huge, with two couches, two armchairs and a desk chair. being on the seventh floor we had an excellent view over the park and towards the golden domes of the Alexander Nevski Cathedral. With both a good shower and a bath the facilities were superb. The staff were excellent, friendly, efficient and competent. They even remembered our names. Breakfast was relaxing and quiet with a wide range to choose from. Since the hotel is in the centre of Sofia it was within easy walking distance of the main sights and shopping area. Dinner in the evening was outstanding. It was so good we ate there twice.

AustraliaMy stay was enjoyable from before I even checked in, right through to after checking-out. The hotel reached out with some excellent advice and additional options ahead of my check in. As an international tourist, this was very well received. The service on arrival was outstanding, the room was above expectations and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was spot on. The hotel is in a very good position in town, with all key aspects for a tourist in walking distance, including great food options.

GreeceRoom: could be easily renovated to feel cozier, decor and furniture is outdated and, although rooms are clean and the intention is clearly to evoke a sense of old-world grandeur, the overall effect feels somewhat antiquated, distracting from the warmth of the huge room. The duvet was way too small and entirely disproportionate to the bed and plush room. I expected something at least double in size and much fluffier. TV has very limited options, 1 music channel and basic news channels only, if you want to browse anything else it is on demand only. They have installed a system of paperless room service ordering through the TV. The idea is great, the implementation not so much, I encountered several operational hiccups. TV scroller would get stuck and I had to walk up close to the TV set to be able to scroll. When I added food items and went back to add beverages my order was deleted. Breakfast menu is only available during breakfast hours, which is entirely counterintuitive and created more issues than it solved. It was solved easily with the help of the excellent front desk staff, but in the end it took a lot more back and forths and more time and explaining than necessary. Food was great but expensive by local standards.
Staff: excellent, by far the best personnel in comparison with other 5-star hotels in Sofia. Room: huge, 60sq.m makes it one of the biggest hotel rooms out there. Bathroom: marble grandeur, very big and stylish. Bed: excellent comfort. Breakfast/Food: very good, probably the best I have had in Sofia hotels of the same range. Location: excellent, a 5minute walk to Vitosha avenue and close to everything.
