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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomWould have loved the sauna/relaxation area to be open a bit longer. It's only open 4-8pm (which I didn't realise before), so there aren't many hours to use, especially if you've been out for the day or have dinner at that time. For those unfamiliar with the area, being slightly out of the centre of Zell am See means that for many things you'll need to take the (free) bus/small local train: c. 10 minute journey every c. half hour. e.g. there is one cable car within walking distance but the ones to further up the mountain are all from near Zell am See train station or further up the valley. Same with ferries - almost all go from the centre. Felt some things could have been slightly better organised: I arrived early and wanted to get the Summer Card early so I could do some activity on my arrival day. It took about half an hour to sort this out because there was a problem with their computer system. To be fair, they did then kindly let me check in half an hour early. However if you want to use the card on the arrival day and avoid waiting around, it would probably be better to request this in advance. (My previous hotel even sent the card to me digitally before arriving, so that I could use the mobility ticket part on Salzburg public transport to travel to the hotel. Don't know if this hotel also offers that.) It wasn't super clear regarding arrangements between the two hotels. You check in at the next-door one, as clearly said; however, breakfast was at the next-door hotel Latini the first morning (much better!!) but at the Schutthof itself second morning. No-one told me of the change so I went to the wrong breakfast and then got sent back. Also after checkout I used the luggage storage (very helpful), but the door had been locked by key so the swipe card didn't work. They did sort this as quickly as possible (thank you!) but it of course took a bit of time so I had to run to make my train!
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful town! Loved the sauna facilities (choice of saunas and steam room, loungers inside and out) but just wished they'd been open longer. Room was pleasant and comfortable with nice wooden furnishings. Cleaned daily with clean sauna towels and bathrobe and slippers. My room had a nice balcony with a view. There is a garden between the two partner hotels with sun loungers which was lovely and very peaceful during the day. I read some reviews that said the nearby bar could be loud, however I was visiting during the off-season and wasn't bothered by any noise from there. The inclusion of the Summer Card is excellent and I'm so glad I chose one of the hotels that offer this: it can't be bought separately but is great value including cable cars, ferries, lido access etc so I had some lovely excursions. The area is truly picturesque and well worth exploring! The staff are very nice although it did take a little long to sort some things out (see below), but everything was very amiable and they kindly brought a water kettle to my room for hot drinks when I requested - thank you :) Overall I really enjoyed my stay!

Sloveniasmall dark (lined with wood) one-bed rooms without proper light, so I would reccommend painting it brighter to give light to the room or place a ceiling light inside.
I was really pleasantly surprised staying at this hotel, breakfast was various and just excellent, extremely gentle, kind and very positive hotel stuff with manners, trying to make you feel comfortable and feeling like at home, special thanx and best regards to them all because they made my vacation perfect, nice quiet and well decorated sauna part, cosy lively evening bar, all amenities for sauna provided (slippers, bathrobe), sef and tv in every room, excellent wi-fi, room for ski equipment and heaters for ski boots, 5 min walking to cable car which takes you up to all of connections to Saalbach ski resort and others.

PanamaWe had first really bad impression with rude clerks at reception; Renau and Carmen. They couldn't find our reservation and told us we could go sleep at the street. They were not joking, and nobody was laughing. Also they had confirmed our transfer from the station to hotel but they left us stranded without any explanation, they just shrugged it off. This was rude and disgraceful, it started our holiday with a sour note. Thankfully other staff members were very nice.
Good location. Nice, big and clean room. Good breakfast. Hotel includes Zell am See Summer Card.

PanamaFirst the hotel confirmed complimentary transfer to hotel but left us stranded at the train station. At our arrival we were directed to check in at Hotel Latini. We were received at reception by clerks Renau and Carmen who couldn't find our reservation made through Booking. We asked what to do and the exact words were "You can go sleep in the streets" and nobody was laughing, specially not us. Also when we asked about the failed pick up, they shrugged off like not important. The other days days were fine and we met other people at reception who were nice and caring but our first impression was not good and we started our holiday with a sour note.

SlovakiaEverything was right.
The staff ay the hotel were friendly and very kind; the breakfast was my best breakfast in the whole world; the wellness in the 3 stars hotel, on the 4th floor was awesome and unique with the best view to the hill; the lift for skiing was no more that 250 mts. All was amazing in this hotel. About the parking, if you are smart, you will find free parking place and if you are not lazy, you have the free parking lot next to the cable lift Areitbahn 1 and on the way, so close there are a lot free parking place. If you are such a lazy..... you should pay for the parking place at the parking lot 50 mts away.... it is your choice.

I don't think the property cab do anything about it thought. The coffee from the breakfast had good aroma but we would prefer stronger one. We enjoyed it anyway.

CyprusThere are guests who do not respect sauna rules. The rules have to be clearly stated at the entrance doors and maybe explained at check in. There is smell coming from drainage at the evening. It's only in certain rooms, just check when you arrive. To my opinion the blankets are to thin for winter. I would prefer fresh air to heating. The noise from apres ski is continuing throughout whole evening till very late and is loud for those who came not for partying.
The location of the hotel is perfect. You can get by foot to ski lift, supermarket and even to the sea and Zell am see. There is great apres ski 🛖 just opposite. The food is perfect. Dinners have always at least 4 main dish buffet options (fish, poultry, meat, vegan) and great choices of salads, pasta, soup etc. Sauna relaxation area is large and has beautiful views. All staff is polite and friendly trying to help. Thank you!
