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 KingdomI have only a couple of minor criticisms, simply because this is a high-end hotel so the bar is higher than a budget or mid-range place. Please note that overall I rated this place 9/10 and have left lots of positive comments. The hotel page advertises a swimming pool, but it was not open as it was too early in the season; it was late April and 25 degrees, and very sunny. If certain facilities are not available (and this is planned) then they should not be advertised as part of the "room facilities" when someone is selecting a hotel and committing to payment. The 24 hour reception was also not there; shortly after checking in at 730pm I had some questions. I walked downstairs and there was no-one there. I rang the bell and still no-one came, though I could hear loud music playing in the staff room behind the desk. I went back to my room and phoned reception and there was no answer, until eventually I was asked to leave a message. When I checked out I asked to leave some luggage whilst I went to visit the caves; they were very kind and agreed, however my luggage was left next to the desk, in full view, and the desk was often not staffed (e.g. when I returned, there was nobody there, just a sign with the phone number to call for reception). I think a high-end hotel should have a luggage storage room.
The hotel is beautiful and the location is fantastic. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the view of the caves from the balcony was wonderful. I walked to the caves (30 minutes from the hotel to the ticket booth) along the road as it was very quiet, but the hotel offered a free transfer service too. The breakfast was tasty and offered a good range of choice. The restaurant for dinner was lovely and the staff were very attentive.

BrazilPayment process might need improvement. When we left, there was noboby at the reception and they did not charge us at check-in. So, it was kind of painful to make an international transfer, since they cannot charge our credit card when we are not in site. Pay at check-in, the process will be easier.
Great location. Our room had a stunning view of Vardzia caves that we pretty much appreciated. The hotel has several amenities. We had a great stay.

MalaysiaThe hotel restaurant offered food at a very high price (understandable, it's a resort), but the portion and food quality was bad. I didn't like it.
A very well equipped resort near to Vardzia cave. Staffs are friendly and speaks English. The room is clean and comfortable. There's a small garden behind the resort for a small walk.

GermanyThe resort is a beautiful place very close to the famous caves and with a stunning view over the valley and mountains; the area around the hotel is like a small and peaceful terraced lush garden with a lot of shadowy small places to rest and relax; the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant serves super delicious traditional food; the sauna and the whirlpool are the perfect final of a hiker's day ;) and the delicious breakfast the perfect beginning...we can recommend the resort without hesitation!

FranceAt the border of Armenia and Turkey, the landscapes are stunning. The hotel is located in front of the mountains, next to the beautiful river. A fantastic place for hiking and nature. I’ve been greeted super kindly at the hotel. Very warm welcome, impeccable rooms and facilities, excellent restaurant, and a royal breakfast. A dreamy place to relax while being pampered by the staff and the rhythm of nature."

GeorgiaWe were the only guests in the hotel, but all of the lights on the property were off, making it a bit treacherous to go to dinner.
The location, as always, is the big selling point for Vardzia Resort, as it is within walking distance of Vardzia proper. The rooms are comfortable, the gardens and facilities are lovely, and the staff do their best to accommodate.

Pool has spectacular views. And of course you can walk to the entrance of the Vardzia Cave complex in 10 minutes.

PolandThe food was average both at the breakfast hall and at the on-site restaturant which was a disappointment. Additionally the breakfast hall has too few tables and if the coach tour participants all come to eat, you are doomed to wait it out and the attending staff does not control the food supply well if the room gets too busy.
The resort is very nicely located on a hill side. It has a small infinity pool with the Vardzia Stone City view from afar and beautifuly kept garden with some historical remains. Rooms are spacious and well designed. Added plus for an on-site parking.
