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 pasta bar in the restaurant only did one option of sauce each evening so as a vegetarian most nights i could only get plain pasta as the sauces had meat in. We would have liked to be able to go up to the slopes a little earlier and stay a little later than the minibus times. We would have preferred to have an earlier breakfast and earlier minibus to try and beat the gondola queues and stay later skiing out of the resort when it was quieter (breakfast started at 07:30 and the first minibus was at 08:00, the last minibus was 17:00)
We stayed at the hotel on a half board basis and the food was very nice. There was a good variety of hot and cold food, and everything was fresh. In addition to the buffet there was a fresh pasta bar and mixed grill station. Restaurant staff were friendly and quick to clear empty plates and take drinks orders. The restaurant felt very safe, disposable masks and gloves were supplied by the hotel for the buffet. We used the spa most days and booked several massages. The indoor and outdoor pools were heated which was especially nice after a day of skiing! The staff in the spa were very friendly, especially Bobby who served us cocktails at the spa bar. My partner brought his own boots and helmet but hired skis and poles from the hotel and the gentlemen in the boot room was very helpful. Marine and Kosta drove the minibus to the gondola station each day and were very patient and helped us load and unload our skis.

Hungarywe rented a ‘villa’ but we got an apartment in an outside building, first floor. the apartment was very basic, I missed a little coziness, warm lights, a rug, a cushion. it’s rather sad inside these ‘villas’.
common areas are stylish, spacious, nice, outdoor heated pool was a blast. Staff is very warm and kind. ski gear lending very effective and cheap

BulgariaEverything was great. The staff is super friendly and the service you get is on point with the stars of the hotel. The entire place is very well structured and it gives you options to do different things. The food is one of the best things about this place, very tasty, a lot of different meals and you can also enjoy meals cooked in front of you without having to pay anything extra. Even though the outside pool is rather small, you will definitely enjoy it. I am very happy with our entire stay!

BulgariaThere is no connection from the villas to the spa or reataurant and in autumn/winter it could be a pretty cold walk.

BulgariaThe place gets quite crowded during the weekends and isn't as chill as during the week — we could hardly find a table to sit down during breakfast and dinner. The massages are OK for a hotel but don't compare to a specialist massage studio.
We went to the hotel during the week and we really enjoyed the calmness of the place (which would later change during the weekend). The breakfast and dinner were a-ma-zing! The buffet was stocked with anything you could imagine — the variety was exceptional. The SPA centre had everything, though it wasn't well organised in terms of how the spaces were arranged (the chill zone was actually a junction between facilities). The room was very clean and cosy with an amazing view of the mountain. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The tennis court was also a pleasure to use.

New ZealandIt’s too hot in the common area (restaurant at 30 degrees, just impossible to eat!) and in the rooms. With a baby, it’s not possible to sleep properly at this temperature.
It’s been the third time we come to the hotel! We really like the place. The view over the mountains is amazing. The rooms are big, the bed is huge and it’s very clean. The baby crib was in perfect condition as well. The swimming pool is warm (34degrees) so perfect for kids. Sauna and steam bath are perfectly clean as well. Breakfast and dinner were perfect with a lot of choices.
