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 reviewFantastic location. River view room with a small balcony looked straight at the river and the castle to the left. Sky bar had fantastic views and Somersby cider. Comfy bed and good shower. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was a mix of different and sometimes unexpected foods but there was plenty of it and we ate well.
Curtains in our room didn’t cover the whole window so it was light in the morning but not a huge deal for us. A few more umbrellas at the sky bar would have been better as it was really hot when we went.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect, and the service is excellent. The hotel team is very friendly and works hard to ensure guests enjoy their stay. Breakfast is served with an amazing view of Wawel Castle. The hotel’s sky bar is also very nice. We were even able to check in earlier than expected. Good value for a price.
The air conditioning didn’t work. During our stay, it was +31°C in Kraków, and the AC was not cooling the room. It was actually cooler in the corridor or even outside. Unfortunately, we couldn’t sleep with the windows open because it was too noisy outside.

Verified reviewNice hotel. Very good location. The staff serviceminded and friendly. Good private parking possibilities for ok price (70PLN a day). Lovely view at the roof restuarant.
The view in our room was so not good, very close to other house. But nothing important.

Verified reviewThe facilities, restaurant with great food. Cleanliness. Location. Nice, approachable, helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel.
The magnetic key to the room wasn't working, we had to get it set up several times throughout our stay, but the staff members were always very helpful and sorted the problem very quickly. It wouldn't put us off from staying at the hotel again as everything else was spot on.

Verified reviewThe stuff is really nice and helpful. The room wasn’t spacey, but kept clean and nice.
Some parts of the build seemed to get old and they were degrading.

Verified reviewThere is no better location in Krakow. It’s on the river with lovely views and it’s also a good in between the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, so it’s easy to explore between the two.
The breakfast was the only thing we didn’t like about the hotel.

Verified reviewThe location is awesome, you could go everywhere at krakow by walk. 10 min to old town, near the Wawel Castel and vistula cruises. 15 mins walk to Jewish getto and 20 mins to Schindler’s factory. Breakfast is good enough, good view rooms ( looks the vistula river ). There is so nice Terrace bar and they give you 2 free vines up there :)
The room is small ( up to room that you reserved of course ).
