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 only issue is that the walls are paper thin and you can hear absolutely everything from the people next door. Apart from that everything was perfect. A dream location.
Perfect location if you have a car. The famous cows are nearby. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. We hiked all the trails in the area. We're not hikers but the hills were so pretty so we had to explore. It's exactly what you need for a relaxing weekend getaway. The pub/restaurant are super nice. Food is tasty, a bit expensive, but it's ok. All staff was amazing. We can't wait to come back

United KingdomHardly anything. If I was VERY picky, I would say that the curtains could have been more effective, they let in a bit more light than we would have liked.
Very helpful staff – one receptionist helped with our heavy case. Very good breakfast, we enjoyed it very much. Liked the room decor and comfortable bed. The good quality coffee and tea provided in our room was much appreciated.

United KingdomBreakfast....long wait for hot drinks with the excuse given that everyone arrived at once for breakfast. Surely they should anticipate a busy breakfast service if the hotel is full?? However the food was great.
Food was excellent. Location was beautiful and the old part of the hotel was fantiastic.

United KingdomThe quality and capabilities of the dining room staff was dismal. Delays between courses were unacceptable. It seemed as if the staff had forgotten we were there on a couple of occasions, especially during dinner. The mattress in our room was old and uncomfortable.
The women on the reception, especially Nicky, were always very pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomShower needed cleaning a bit more and the floor in the bedroom. One of the windows in the bedroom was stained due to being old. There was a broken window in the main hallway which looked a mess. Limited vegan options in the main restaurant for food
Lovely location and views Liked the hotel architecture Friendly staff and good customer service, made to feel welcome, particularly lady on reception. Great breakfast with plenty of choice and fresh food such as nuts, berries, yogurt. Room was comfortable and spacious with quality tea bags
