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 KingdomThe breakfast was limited and the breakfast bar ran out of food an hour before the closure time. Many people arrived at the end.
The studio room with a bath and the sea view was amazing! The hotel & the garden had a beautiful design. The stuff was friendly and helpful. There was a parking at the property.

GreeceBreakfast is included, however, the choice was very scarce (e.g. no yoghurt or cereal, only apples as a fruit). It might be linked to the end of season but some more diversity in the food and better ingredients will improve the overall experience.
The hotel is very nicely located with a beautiful sea view and a modern and comfortable design.

RomaniaSometimes there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom, hope it will be taken care.
We had a wonderful vacation in Sozopol and Relax Sozopol met all the expectations we had. Very nice room, nice staff, good breakfast, nice area near the pool just in front of the sea, daily cleaning service. I must say I appreciate very much the taste of the team that designed all the interiors (room, lobby, breakfast area, pool area). High quality of the furniture and of the accessories. Also they actually have real plants in rooms and not plastic, which is rare and must be appreciated. There are several beaches close to the hotel, including one in front of the hotel. Also expect to walk a lot if you want to visit the Old Town of Sozopol (30-40 minutes), where are a lot of restaurants and vendors, but it is a nice walk, we didn't regret anything. Also there are plenty of places where you can eat near, just 10 minutes walk. Also there is a Lidl market very close. There are also some restaurants very close, but when we came they were already closed for the season. We recommend Del Muro restaurant and Gelato at Home for delicious gelato. We hope to come back soon at Relax Sozopol! P.S. If you're coming to Sozopol for more days, don't miss to visit The Ravadinovo Castle and The Upside Down House near Sozopol, in Chernomorets.

United Kingdom1. There was a strange smell from the bathroom. Also the bathroom door was somewhat transparent. 2. The breakfast was very limited. Few choices and the same every day. The table covers were dirty (not cleaned from the evening before). 3. The fridge for the minibar was too noisy.
1. We liked the hotel room as it was a good size and the bed was comfortable. 2. It was very nice to have a balcony with a sea view. The hotel is front line to the sea. 3. The staff was friendly and helpful with our luggage, our questions, etc.

PolandUnfortunately the breakfast was poor quality, only tost bread, not much choice and only one person taking care of serving breakfast, that was not enought. Also the room wasn't the clinest one, especially bathroom. I have very mixed feelings, we arrived day after big rain, we understand a lot, but nobody even said sorry that on the middle of room was bucket for dropping water from the ceiling. In the room was about 5 cm level difference, no markt, quite dangerous, espacialy while going to bathroom at night. No place to dry towels or swimming suit. No bottle water in the room, no beach towels. Free space between door and floor, so you can hear all noise from corridor. We actually really enjoyed our stay in Relax Hotel but those small things gives you this small disappointment, it's not cheap place so you want to feel more taken care of.
We had amazing view from the room ( and from bathtub - the reason I booked this place), just next to hotel Is small, cozy beach, very nice swimming pool.

RomaniaVery friendly staff, the location is very good as it is close to the beach but in a quiet area of Sozopol. The place is clean, the room was cleaned every day during lunch. The pool area is great, it was very relaxing. The breakfast was delicious but the diversity can be improved. I would definitely recommend the place.

GermanyWe enjoyed our stay very much. - the view from our suite was amazing - very modern and stylish - the parking in front of the hotel was an important reason to book the hotel - there are different bays underneath the hotel in walking distance (and by car 10 minutes away one of the best beaches of the Black Sea Coast) - the blond lady from the hotel was always super friendly and welcoming us. A good example for all the staff.

RomaniaThe only thing i didn’t like is that we only spent 2 nights. We really promise to get back soon!
We loved everything about Relax Sozopol! I’m writing this review while planning to go back there as soon as we have the opportunity. We only spent 2 nights because we booked it few days before the arrival and we couldn’t find a room for 3 nights, so we had to spend the first night in another location. We had a very big room with partial sea view, a very nice balcony and parking place included. Bonus: an amazing breakfast in Venus restaurant, that we could take out on the terrace next to the pool, close to the beach. To die for! ❤️ All the staff we interacted to was very friendly, they made us feel like we are home away from home. The hotel is very clean, very nice decorated and with a lot of attention to the details. Inside the room we had everything we needed and more! After the first night we had the very pleasant surprise to find a gift with a complimentary card in the room. Thank you, Relax Sozopol 🙏🏻 Walking distance from the hotel you have a big Lidl supermarket and a smaller supermarket right across the street where you can find anything you need. From Venus restaurant you can order lunch&dinner while relaxing by the pool. A small beach is available few steps away from the hotel, you just need to get down the stairs. 2minutes away on the same path from the hotel you have the famous Bamboo beach. We walked to the old town both evenings, the walking distance is 25-30minutes.

RomaniaToo far from the old town. No parking for the type of room we had and did not want to offer a parking spot (even if we asked to pay for it) even though the parking lot was half empty.
The pool is great, the room is great (although the bathroom is really small and could use some additional stuff, like a support for soap). The breakfast is ok. It was a nice stay

BulgariaWe arrived at the hotel and there were free park spots, however, we were informed that since our room is with discounted rate we are not allowed to use the parking spot. It would be fair enough if the price wasn’t so high. After all, this is a 3 star hotel.
Really polite stuff at the restaurant, nice arrangement around the pool and really beautiful view. Clean and cozy.

United KingdomBooked two nights but requested an extra night. Told by receptionist that this was not possible even though we said that it did not have to be the same room and would be willing to pay more. Then checked Booking.com and booked a room with no problem. Pool needed a bit of a clean as algae was growing around the edge and on an inflatable that obviously lived there. Had problems getting meals to arrive at the same time but the food was very good.
Great location overlooking the bay. Very helpful staff at the pool bar.

BulgariaThe restaurant could use a bit diversification, I had a Black Angus cheeseburger but the meat smelled a bit funky. Breakfast is good but not allowing people to drink personally purchased water next to the swimming pool is just wrong.
Pretty nice new hotel situated approximately 15 minutes walk away from Sozopol. Bamboo beach bar is 100m away and make sure to book a beach bar seat at least a week in advance of your arrival. Staff was nice, a bit confused at times as everyone was new at what they were doing. Hope they get paid well and are treated fairly and kindly, there were a few times where my friends and I noticed they may have had an unpleasant with the owners. Loved the tarot paintings on the wall and the overall interior design. Internet is top notch.
