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 reviewEverything was lovely, we had a lovely stay the location is perfect, both pools are great, and the room was lovely, so no bad comments at all.
I'm afraid, my husband and I didn't find the reception staff very welcoming, and rude at times. I also had a drink in the bar one evening out on the terrace and my glass was broken and chipped which I wasn't impressed with but the staff in the bar area was very accommodating, and apologised profusely and we didn't have to pay for our drinks but that wasn't the point. Also I think you should be made aware prior that the parking there is a charge of 20 euros a day for parking.

Verified reviewThe hotel exceeded my expectations. The facility is tasteful and not overpowering with everything anyone could need. The view is unbelievable. We will definitely be returning!
When sitting on the balcony in the evening, smoke from cigarettes in the restaurant came up. We had to close the window and sit inside. Also the hot tub next to the outdoor pool was freezing.

Verified reviewBreakfast was amazing.
There was lots of extra hidden costs - sauna, use of fridge in room etc. For the price, you’d think you could use the fridge to cool your water.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent. The pool and beach area are nice. The lake views are exceptional.
Staff was extremely rude. They tried to charge me an extra €100 service fee upon leaving, saying it's for staff. I showed them my booking.com invoice and then they said it was my option whether to pay it or not. A few times we asked reception to book us a dinner reservation at a local restaurant and they said they couldn't. They charged me €20 a day parking even though I didn't park my car at the hotel. I had to dispute that as well. After coming from QC termegarda, Grand Hotel Dino was a disappoinment. For a Grand Hotel it should be a lot better. I expected much better quality of service from a Zacchera property. I likely would not return.

Verified reviewThe beach was very nice. The live music was amazing. We actually had extra drinks in the bar and booked another dinner at the restaurant just to listen to the musicians. The service was good. The view from the balcony of our room was stunning.
There was just one entrance to the lake from the beach. I understand it's probably for safety reasons but if you're in the mode distant end, you need to walk like 500m. The breakfast seemed very busy. There is a large crowd at breakfast. maybe it should be done in two different locations or at a longer interval during the busy season. There's no coffee in the room, just tea. When we consumed something in the bar or restaurant, we always left a tip. When we checked out and paid the bill, it turned out that there was actually a service charge for the staff for the overall stay. First - I think it is right that the tip should be something at the discretion of the customer. Second, if you think your staff deserves extra pay, just include it in the prices. Third - it is right to inform guests upon arrival at the hotel about this type of charge.

Verified reviewThe hotel is set right on the lake side with stunning views across the lake. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool and a beach location with lake access for swimming. A stunning restaurant on site with a delicious menu. The rooms are comfortable and space and some boast those incredible lake views.
The staff are helpful however they could do with some more training in efficiency and professional ways to act with each in view of clients.
