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.).

United StatesIt was confusing what amenities are an extra charge and how much they are, since they are not listed anywhere. The sauna and breakfast are extra; not included with the room. The shower temperature changed a lot.
The hotel is located in Rakov, outside of Postojna, so it is not near other businesses. It is quite remote. The facilities are simple, but the owner was very helpful at locking our bikes inside overnight! And charging the e-bikes.

NetherlandsThe hotel could manage expectations better by not offering breakfast on Booking. There is nothing you can eat otherwise Also they could automatically send instructions on how to enter the building when no one is there at reception anymore. I think clarity towards guests can really help a place like this get better, one step at a time.
The location inside the forest is amazing. There are some beautiful caves just minutes away by car or by foot. To be honest, we read a lot of bad reviews about this place. Quoting Forrest Gump, Hotel Rakov Skocjan seems to be like a box of chocolates. Everyone gets a unique experience, you just never know which one. We also arrived in the dark, but the main entrance on the other side than the parking was open. There was a room key there with my name on a piece of paper. There was no one, probably not even other guests!? Surreal, cool, adventure but yes, don't expect guaranteed breakfast bufets, lavish dinners and smiling hosts when you arrive. You might get them, just don't assume you will (for now).

ItalyMy room was rather small, nothing too bad for a one-night stopover though.
The hotel is located in a very quiet area, actually in the middle of the forest, away from any source of noise. Thanks to its very good price, it's truly advisable for those who are travelling to any farther destination, as it's just 10 mins away from the motorway exit. The hotel is hosted in a nice cottage, also having a nice restaurant on the ground floor. It could be defined as a nice inn or a guesthouse.

SpainI had to wait literally for 2 hours for the host to arrive and to open the door for me. I arrived and there was no one there and they didn't pick the phone. After 2 hours, a guy appeared and said he was playing football. I had even filled the arrival time in booking. I thought the place wasn't even operating any more.
The place itself is fine and the price is fair.
