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.).

BulgariaPersonal opinion: might be better with some more air in the swimming pool but that is easily fixable with the opening of the windows so such option exists.
Great location, easy to go on hikes on several options considering the transportation method. Spacey room, food was tasty as tried the local dishes, spa was fine in general. Staff is friendly and nice. Very quiet during our stay.

SerbiaOnly thing I didnt like was that there was no fireplace in the apartment although the pictures of the apartment we reserved showed that there is a fireplace (also on the list of stuff in the apartment showed that there is fireplace)..
The location is very nice in the woods if you like hiking its ideal. Breakfast was superb and the food in the restaurant is also great. Staff is polite, rooms were very clean and the hotel is in great shape.

BulgariaThe soa center is not the best, but is good enough. The pool is very small, but great for children.
It was clean, warm and peaceful, great for a rest. The best thing out of everything was the staff. The last day we were alone in the hotel and they treated us like royalties!! - bringing food to the room, preparing food only for us, etc. We were just very impressed with the staff! They were great!

United KingdomGreat location. The hotel is located 10 mins outside of the city center (car ride). It’s clean, comfortable and the restaurant is great if you don’t want to drive. The wellness center is small but it has all you need and it’s very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. There’s so much to see around the town. You can ask the receptionist for recommendations.

As usual, everything was great. Nice big rooms, nice showers, amazing food. The restaurant is really great, regardless of breakfast, lunch or dinner. Location is amazing as it's adjacent to so many great hikes.

BulgariaOur room was above the restaurant which was just a bit noisy, but actually that was not even a problem. There were really no problems. Recommended.
Well made food, pleasant staff and great location. We haven't tried the spa facilities. It is well suited for relaxing near the forest, mountains and lakes. Food was nothing extraordinary, but it was tasty and well made.

BulgariaWe have one tiny recommendation, to pay attention to the windows in the rooms, because it was winding through the window.
We are very satisfied with the overall experience. The staff was at an excellent level, also the food was extremely tasty. The location is top notch. Definitely will be there for a second time.
