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.).

NetherlandsThe room and the bathroom were very small. The bathtub was very old and the shower did not have enough water pressure. If you do not have your own means of transportation it can be difficult to get a taxi, especially if it is for a short distance such as the other side of the lake (Castel Gandolfo).
Excellent location, beautiful view over lake Albano. Friendly staff, good breakfast in a terrace directly looking over the lake. €130 for one night was a fair price considering the location and the high season.

PolandFor inexperienced drivers, it might be hard to access the parking lot from the main road. The hotel does not offer a wide choice of beverages in the room fridges.
The hotel is located by the lake. It is close to all the main attractions in the area. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My and my partner really enjoyed the room view, the breakfast and the hospitality of all people working at the Villa. The place is mainly a weeding event venue, we stayed 1-night when there was not any event at the villa, so we were the only guests and we had a very intimate experience!!!!

South AfricaThis hotel has a fantastic view over the lake. However, sadly that is were the good experience stop. We received room 421 and experienced one of the most filthiest rooms: No Wi-Fi in this part of the hotel. After asking staff at reception to reboot the router, it did not solve the problem. The feedback was, there is nothing we can do about it The bar fridge in the room does not work. The shower drain is clogged. Shower overflows (See photo) The shower head is also clogged and water almost just drips out. The hand shower pipe connection is lose and one has to hold it in place to stay connected The toilet seat is lose (see photo) Long strain of dark hair is still attached to the bathroom tiles. Most likely from a prior guest or cleaner (See photo) Bloodstain on the wall. Which according to reception could be as a result of a prior guest killing a mosquito....(but they don’t offer to clean it) Dust and hair on the floor - room has not been cleaned in a while Some electrical plugs are broken and have missing buttons, not to mention the dirt around them (see photo) The telephone looks like something that was used on the titanic. The screen is broken and it has not been wiped down or cleaned in years. (see photo) The bed side lamps are almost falling out of their wall sockets (see photo) Mould accumulated on the wall and roof with paint lifting from the wall already. (see photo) This room is filthy and was not cleaned before checking guests in. After making management aware of the issues, nothing was done about it. They never offered to clean the room or give us another room. They do not care about their guests. Blood stains on walls and other filth does not bother them There are better places to stay – avoid this hotel at all cost. It is dated and the staff don’t care.

FinlandThe weird miscomfort of not having proper hangers for towels (just one for 4/6 towels). We were told that the towels are meant to be kept in the drawers (???). I traveled the whole globe and I have never seen towels used like this (always wet after the first use and always to be stored after use - a sort of ability test for average husbands/kids……!). By the way, I wonder if they sanitize the drawers after every stay… The breakfast was very poor. If you are expecting an international breakfast this hotel is not for you. Also, why keep using so old/cracked mugs? The duvet had weird sheets, opened on the side. You can’t move without gettig them opened. That is another thing that I saw for the first time in my life.
The lake view was great.

United KingdomA lot (not all) of the staff came across very inconvenienced (and rude) when asking for the most basic of services. The balcony was covered in red spiders so we were unable to enjoy the view of the lake without a "bloody massacre". The rooms were very tired The location is not ideal as you have to walk along a busy road to access the local facilities. would be better to stay in castel Gandolfo. The hotel staff are preoccupied with events happening at the venue so appeared quite stressed and grumpy. This is not a 4 star - maybe a 2 and this is mainly for the view.
