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 KingdomWe loved this place and wished we'd stayed longer as there are so many great hikes to do around and it's very calm and peaceful, deep in nature. The room and bathroom were newly fitted and decorated and sparkling clean. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast, with a good range of foods, and also the lunch package which we ordered on each day. We also had our dinner here twice and enjoyed it. The restaurant also had a terrace with special views. Staff are efficient and attentive.

United StatesIt's a little difficult getting to and from the funicular. The balcony suite bedroom window also could use a screen to keep bugs out during the nighttime. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!
We loved the location, right there in the mountains. The staff is so friendly and hospitable. It's like a warm bed and breakfast feel. The food was delicious. The dessert bun was incredible. We got the balcony suite, so we had the most amazing view to wake up to and go to sleep to. Overall, we were very impressed with this chalet!

United KingdomThe chalet door is locked at 10pm when the bar closes. It’s not an issue in winter but when daylight in the summer allows very long walks, it would be good to be able to access the chalet after 10pm without staff having to wait up to lock the door late.
I didn’t have breakfast at the chalet as I’m on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet (and vegetarian), which is not a good combination for eating in Slovak restaurants so I brought food with me. It’s great to be able to store food in the mini-fridge at the hotel corridor. The last time I stayed at the chalet with my partner, we suggested it would be useful to have access to a kettle instead of having to ask for hot water for the flask at the bar (though the staff were always very helpful). This time there were communal kettles at the hotel corridors, as well as a microwave. It all made preparations for long mountain walks much easier. I arrived before check-in time and asked if I could leave my luggage at the reception while I went walking and as my room was ready, I was checked in early, which was really appreciated. Every time we stay, the staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and clean, with a good bathroom/ shower. The views are great (especially from the apartment which faces the mountains). Staying at the chalet saves 6km (walking from/to an alternative base in Starý Smokovec) which allows more time for walking to Zbojnícka chata and Téryho chata.

United KingdomWe visited in December and the approach to the building was very icy and could be difficult to walk for some, I recommend bringing ice grips for shoes in winter. Luckily we could buy them at the reception
Perfect location with beautiful mountain trails at your doorstep, wonderful views everywhere you look. Good and hearty breakfast, comfortable room. The place looked magical with Christmas decorations

GermanyI didn‘t like being locked in during the night. The main door of the hut kept closed. Unfortunatly, there weren‘t many options for vegetarians at the restaurant and breakfast, but they tried to cater to my needs.
I really liked the staff, the house itself and my little room, I could use a sauna for 15 Euros and what I had at the restaurant was tasty! Also, of course the view was amazing and it was easy to get to even with public transport.
