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 KingdomRoom was in the roof and was a bit cramped, with only a skylight for a window without a proper view. It was difficult to locate staff in the morning to check out.
Good location in the village of Ettal, very close to King Ludwig's Linderhof Palace. Good breakfast, and very good meal in hotel restaurant in the evening.

United StatesBathroom a little crowded and the shower doors were not conducive to closing properly this water all over the floor.
Beautifully set on a hill surrounded by nature and farm animals. Easily walkable to the main area and several things to do in the village and nearby villages. Who doesn’t want to wake up to a cat, sheep, or grazing cows. Outdoor restaurant and good breakfast. Outdoor area with benches and lounging chairs to relax. Sauna and steam room a plus. Easy access to castles.

GermanyThe parking is a bit small and tricky due to hotel location - a narrow, steep and curvy road that connects the main road of Ettal to the hotel. You are lucky if no one else is on your way, otherwise it is tough to pass, with the need to carefully maneuver your way up or down..
Exceptionally well located property, overlooking Ettal monastery and surrounding Alpine meadows. Our room (family room) was extra spacious, modern and bright wooden decor - feels fresh and updated, with two separate rooms and huge, covered balcony overlooking the Kloster Ettal - a magical view! Since it was cold outside, we super valued ability to switch on heating and get the room truly warm. The bathroom was excellent, with all the amenities and plush, soft towels in ample amount. Espresso machine and fully stocked minibar completed the picture - really impressive! The dinner was good - nice, small and separate restaurant onsite, cozy, with great choices of food and drinks - we enjoyed. The breakfast next day was good - a pretty standard choice of hot and cold food, nice tea selection, very spacious breakfast room (no much service at the table, neither any a la carte dishes). A separate compliment to restaurant and staff - they speaks good English and actually, were surprisingly many international guests at the hotel. Overall - we liked the place, it also feels much more than a 3 star hotel (except for breakfast, perhaps), as it also has Spa and even room service was available.

Beautiful location right in sight of the Abby. Lovely unexpected balcony looking out into the forest. Quiet, secluded, but convenient location. Very peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was great. Dinner at the restaurant was very good as well.
