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.).

RomaniaThe shower system in the bathroom. There is no shower cabin, just open space and water evacuation in the floor, under the toilet. The stone from bath was wonderful and adherent (no slippering), but 1) it has no control of the water direction to remain dry all the things; 2) humidity on the floor remains many hours if not summer weather is (for us was end of April). Beside this, there are no hooks to hang towels / clothes / bathrobe on (just a towel bar). The coffee machine is not the best one possible, and maybe they have to change also the coffee expected for a 4* hotel. But it seems the hotel has recently changed the owner and the transformation and increasing of facilities are ongoing.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We liked very much the proximity (less than 10 m) of the hotel with the seashore (the sea was absolutely gorgeous during our stay) and the possibility to have long walks along the line of seashore one the one hand (recently build concrete road towards Albena, not yet the acces of the cars), and the nice smelling vegetation, with birds sounds and 20-40 m heigh of cliffs on the other hand. The dinner was really excellent for both days we eat it here. Very tasty all dishes we ordered, and professional and aesthetic presentation. The vegetables, cheese and fish were local and good quality. The price is fair for the quality and quantity of the food on the plate. Very good homemade bread for one breakfast. Are a direct relation between the numbers of tourists and type of breakfast, but the staff are very kind and offer us different alternatives if we had different preferences. The very big (+) of the property was for us the Spa & Wellness facilities (including very professional massage-therapy following different technics (I think are over 15 types), including use of essential oils, warm Himalaya salt stones, crystals or Ayurvedic herbs, nut also typical Thay massage and other manually technics for relaxing, fortification, anticellulite so on.). We had "very good time" with the fish spa procedure and unexpected detox spa, both of them on the feet. Are also gym, salt room, pool, etc.

RomaniaThe bathroom door was made of glass and it was like it wasn’t there in terms of soundproofing. Everything you did in the bathroom could be heard from the room. Also neither the windows were the best in terms of soundproofing. Another thing I didn’t like was the sink. It was modern and it looked great but it wasn’t the most practical one. Those are not such great problems tbh, I just wrote them here for the management to take in consideration for improvements and to argue why I gave a 9 instead of a 10.
The staff was very kind and nice. Food was very good and plentyful Coffee was great Spa was very nice and clean

RomaniaThe room is heated with the aircondition so not very comfortable. The bathroom is cold and dark. The beds are low quality. The water in the pool is cold. Maybe in summer you dont feel cold here, but in the spring it is not so warm
This hotel is right in front of the sea and you can hear the waves all night long. Close to the Castle. Very nice view all rooms face the Sea and they are comfortable. Free parking right in front. Nice spacious room with terrace/balcony. Tasteful breakfast and nice restaurant.

RomaniaThe hotel needs some repairs in bathroom, on the terrace, things are no longer perfect there. We've been here many, many times and we can compare with 2012 for instance. More attention to details should be given. Still, it remains our favourite hotel in Balchik.
Location is perfect. Food is good. We love the cats there.

RomaniaGoogle maps didn’t manage to get us to the spot, we had to ask some locals. :)
Location is very pretty, with the sea right in front of hotel, is quiet and relaxing. Seems all rooms have a view, restaurant of hotel has really good food, the staff is very polite and nice. Breakfast was lovely, option to use a diferent beach spot nearby is also great as the sunbeds in front of hotel get occupied fast.
