How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location is amazing, 3-minute walk next to the lake and the restaurant. Additionally, the bus stop is practically next to the house! We enjoyed our stay in Haus Sonnenschein, where we were also warmly welcomed by the host :)
Dear Wing Le, thank you very much for your excellent review! We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Best regards, Andreas Kastenmeier

Verified reviewI absolutely recommend this place! From the moment I walked in, I could feel the incredible attention to cleanliness. The amenities were simply outstanding! Everything you could possibly need—and more—was provided. A fully equipped kitchen, a spotless bathroom. The owners were extremely kind and helpful, answering all questions and offering advice. I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean place with a breathtaking view and excellent amenities.

Verified reviewGreat location- bus outside door to bring to ski areas/ bus stations,you can ski at Zell am See or get bus to all ski areas. If decide to walk to town from property it’s a beautiful walk around the lake . The property was spotless clean and comfortable and fully equipped. We dined in See camp and Christian’s Gasthuas a local restaurant both had exceptional food and service. Would highly recommend this accommodation and return
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewgood accomodation, near the lake, parking included
They told us that they are dog friendly, but we didnt see that as true... When the dog peed on the bollard, the elderly owner was already rushing after us, clutching his head. When the dog peed on the grass, he told us it wasn't allowed. When we asked where the dog could go to do his business, he said across the road by the lake. Of course this is not a problem during the day, but a dog that gets up in the morning after 8 hours of sleep will not last without peeing 350m outside the property... Another thing was waste sorting - I understand that in each city and region the rules are different, maybe a leaflet in the apartment would be enough. Whenever any of the residents took something to the bins, again the owner would run off and rummage through the rubbish. We ended up leaving mixed waste, PET and glass aside in the apartment because we were afraid to use the bins, that was kinda absurd...
Dear Mr Barbora, we are dog friendly but that does not mean your dog is allowed to pee on our property and in our garden every day. We have to take care of other guests who want to lay in the garden sunbathing. All our guests take their dogs to the lake for a walk in the morning - that is no problem so far. And yes we have to do waste sorting by law. Best Regards Andreas Kastenmeier

Verified reviewNice panorama from the balcony and well equipped kitchen. The lake is close and the camping restaurant on the otherside of the road was great, so despite it's not in the town we weren't without services.
Overall good for short stay, but due to the small room size and because toilet on the corridor it might inconvenient for longer. Also, the matrass was a bit overused or too soft and couldn't sleep well enough.
Dear Mr Balazs, thank you very much for your great recommendation. we want to mention toilet is private only for this apartment and right next to the apartment. Some guests prefer when toilet is not in the apartment. We will check the matrass and change it. Thank you for the hint! Best Regards Andreas

Verified reviewVery welcoming owners who showed us not only the apartment but explained us the surroundings too. The apartment was equipped with all the amenities needed for a wonderful holiday. Location is great and private free parking is a very big plus in a town where parking is very difficult.
The apartment we stayed at did not have a washing machine which is necessary for a long stay like the one we did. However, we found an awesome laundromat at Kaprunerstraße 5 which fixed the issue. The shower is an interior room and the kitchen has no cooking hood and so ventilation is not great but to be honest it did not bother us too much. You can just open a window. The toilet in our case was outside the room but IT IS PRIVATE (only for us). We knew this in advance when we booked the room.

Verified reviewVery cosy apartment "feels like home" type. Clean. Well equipped kitchen (however quite small). Pet friendly. Free parking slot. Great location - just in front of the Zell lake
Wifi could have been a bit stronger.

Verified reviewGood location and area, lots to do nearby and plenty of walks. The lake area is lovely. Hosts were welcoming and helpful. The town is about 40 minutes on foot, somedays that felt like a long way but buses are reliable and free with the summer card.
The apartment is very small and not what is shown on the website, felt over priced for what it was. Basically a studio room with a curtain separating the living room and bedroom. Bedroom is very small with only cupboard and no drawers. As we arrived late at night and the nearest supermarket is a twenty minute walk away which closes at 6pm, it would have been nice to have had a welcome pack, a hot drink would have been so welcome when we arrived.
Dear Mr. Hazel, thank you very much for your feedback and your good rating. You are right that apartment is not our biggest apartment but the cheapest and importantly to mention with it's own private terrace. We are happy to provide drinks if asked. Petrol stations in the immediate vicinity are always open. Yours sincerely, Andreas Kastenmeier

Verified reviewWonderful 6 day stay, big apartment, very clean, kitchen fully equipped with everything you can possibly imagine, nice hosts, location satisfying, unfortunately the camp just opposite to apartment is closed and being under construction so no grocery store or restaurant, but there is one good restaurant 200 m from accommodation; lake is just across the street, there is a small area where you can take a swim, rent bikes or boats, but the actual lido Thumersbach beach is few minutes drive by car; all in all it was a wonderful stay, plenty of bike and walk routes around the accommodation, Zell am See city is half an hour away by foot, 15 minutes by bike or 5-6 minutes by car
Apartment does not include Zell am See Sommer Card with discounts and free cable cars which made our summer trip rather expensive, but we did get a discount card at the property with some discounts and free local bus rides and that's why the apartment is bit cheaper than the other accomodations on the site who offer Sommer Card
Draga Viva, stvarno cijenimo tvoje fantastične povratne informacije! Srdačan pozdrav Andreas Kastenmeier

Verified reviewVery nice host! We are very grateful for his welcoming and open spirit. The appartment is fully equipped and has everything you need for cooking. The location is also amazing as it is close to the non-touristic beach area and not too far from the town centre.
