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 reviewObject was recently renovated and it looks really nice. It has an interesting mini display with stuff that was found during the renovation, and a viewing tower which was fun to climb (positively surprised by it, since in other countries they probably wouldn't allow you to climb such a thing). It has a big private parking area which is fenced off for the night and a place to secure your bikes to (this one could be bigger with better attachments). Room was clean with all the basic necessities.
Soundproofing wasn't really nice. In the morning we heard very loud steps from the floor above and the ceiling was squeaking. Wellness center is not freely accessible. It is open only in very strict limited hours and you can only enter for predefined 2 hour intervals (7.5€ per person). It is also completely closed on Mondays and Thursdays and we were informed about it only after booking. There was no AC in the room. Our fault for not making sure beforehand, but for that price it honestly is expected as a standard. Room got quite hot in the summer heat, and you are not supposed to even ventilate it during the day. The neighbourhood is not that nice. Hotel is far away both from the city center and from trails. It is in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of industrial sites all around. No waking anywhere is kinda out of the question. Bed didn't have one big mattress but two smaller ones. Would like to have more hooks in the bathroom and maybe more storage in the room.

Verified reviewVery happy with everything
Because it was very hot, we had breakfast outside, this place was also reserved for smokers. Smokers should have a place reserved for them somewhere else or smoking should be prohibited during breakfast. The wooden paneling at of the building upon arrival made it look like I had mistaken my place of residence. Other wise, realy, everything was perfect !!!

Verified review- modern room and hotel -very friendly staff - spacious room - cool spa area
- spa cost additionally 7 eur per person per 2 hour - not a big deal but could have been included in the room price (even at the cost of slight higher room Price) - checkout could be at least at 11 (or even 10:30 so there’s time between breakfast ends and checkout) - again it’s not a big deal

Verified reviewAmazing hotel. The property has safe private parking , restaurant, exceptional spa & professional massage. The location is very close to Zilina. The reception staff as well as any other staff members we have talked, were extremely helpful and speak english very well. There are art pieces from medieval times at the hotel, makes the stay even more enjoyable.

Dear Mr. Rupied, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel and that our staff met your expectations. Regarding the entrance, please note that the wood used on the property naturally ages over time, and due to weather conditions, its color changes. This is part of the appearance and character of the building. As for the early check-out time, it is in place due to the earlier check-in time, which allows us to provide a smooth and timely transition between guest stays. We apologize for any further inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Ivana, director
