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.).

RomaniaWe stayed at this guesthouse in Melk and I must say that the difference was made by Jozef, the waiter who served us. Thanks to his inspired recommendations, we discovered the authentic taste of the local cuisine – exactly what we were looking for. His communication was excellent, always attentive and kind, and he made us come back the next day. His hospitality turned a simple dinner into a memorable experience.

HungaryOur room faced the inner courtyard, which we hadn’t expected. One mattress sagged noticeably in the middle, causing some back discomfort. There was no air conditioning, and without a mosquito net we couldn’t keep the windows open, which made the room quite warm in the summer heat.
We loved the location – right in the charming old town, just a short walk to the Abbey and about 15 minutes to the Danube. The area is beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of nice cafés and restaurants nearby. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff even prepared gluten-free rolls for us. The restaurant food was also fantastic, and the service friendly and accommodating.

HungaryFinding the parking lot was very difficult. One of the guests at the hotel actually walked me to the location since my GPS did not show it correctly. I did not see air conditioning in the room and can not recall if it was listed in the description on Booking.
Excellent location on the main square and at the foot of the Abby. The Abby is about 5-10 minuets up a side street that has many steps, but not steep. The hotel is also about 15 minuet easy walk to the river cruise station for the Danube cruises. The hotel has a good restaurant offering Austrian cuisine and some additional lighter foods, with seating either on the main square front or a lovely small courtyard. Breakfast was very good and had variety in the selection. The personnel were friendly and courteous speaking German, English, and Hungarian; perhaps other languages of which I was unaware.

Very centrally located hotel near many sights in the small city of Melk (abbey, post office, danube, wachau). Very nice and quiet hotel with spacious rooms. The breakfast was very rich with numerous delicious things to choose from with both inside and outside (in the nice garden) seating areas. The restaurant of the hotel is very good with great food, great drinks (local and international wines) and great service.

PolandWe stayed in this hotel on a short cycling trip along the Danube. Their main business seems to be the restaurant, which by the way serves good dinner and ice-cream! The rooms are on the 2nd floor and despite the busy restaurant below, we slept well. And they obviously knew how to set up a good breakfast buffet!
