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 reviewI made a reservation for a room for my family seven months in advance, and I have a lot of experience in hotel reservations, we usually go there several times a year. And we got a room without a toilet and without a shower in the room. They told me everything is written in the small print and I think it is a shame and disgrace to give a room without the basic things like a toilet and a shower. Yes, they moved me after two nights, of course at an additional cost. It is a shame in my opinion.

Verified reviewThe house with a garden is beautifully renovated and well maintained. It also offered nice Parking. The hotel took good care of my late arrival. In addition, I would like to highlight that the hotel arranged for the purchase of public transport tickets for the train and bus. The staff was really friendly.
I didn’t like the design of the attic rooms – in more than half of the room, the ceiling is so low that you can’t shake off a claustrophobic feeling (the only window is small). In addition, six rooms share one shower and one toilet. Although the price of these attic units is lower, it’s not low enough.

Verified reviewAC, very good continental breakfast, comfortable bed, TV, quietness, seating outside, easily reachable, bus station close by, Supermarkets nearby, well cleaned
The third floor is a little low to get in. A shared restroom and shower might be takes getting used to although it wasn’t a problem to me.

Verified reviewThe staff are so nice and professional, they lest us keep our luggage until our train was scheduled even after check-out! Breakfast was really good.
We stayed on the last floor and unfortunately shared the bathroom with some of the other guests, which left the bathroom and the shower very unclean, which is the responsibility of the guests to clean after themselves… Not really the fault of the hotel, but would upgrade to private bathroom next time.

Verified reviewThe staff were lovely and welcoming, the building itself was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The shared bathroom situation was incredibly clean and well done. We also really enjoyed the breakfast (croissant, breads, eggs, meats and cheese, yogurts, cheese, juice, coffees, etc.) and the outdoor seating. Small room but very cozy and we slept great. The price is also comparatively low to other places in the area. Well located with a bus station directly outside and easy walk down to the lake.

Verified reviewThis Place is very charming, the staff is very welcoming and warm. The manager/owner loves this place and it shows. Our room was very clean and had a nice view over the lake. The location is great, just a couple of minutes from the lake. I really enjoyed the coffee, it was good quality, same as the breakfast, the honey was delicious. It would be helpful to have some sort of hangers or a chair in the shared shower to place the personal belongings.

Verified reviewVery nice breakfast.
Room too small and low-lofted. With so few guests it wouldn't have been a big sacrifice for the management to upgrade the booking to a better room.
