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 reviewSoft towels. Well equipped kitchen. Water was hot.
Poor communication on booking.com about room keys. Hostess not pleased having to fix blown electrical circuits. TV not working. Very noisy from shared kitchen outside door and from guests above us. Had to use duvet to supplement inadequate curtains to block light. Soaked in summer storm and no place to dry our clothes.

Verified reviewThe owner was very helpful in guiding us to a good hiking path which was perfect for our experience. The room is very well-kept and clean. The kitchen has all the required cutleries to make and have a good meal. And the
It would be nice to have some ready food like bread, jam, fruits etc provided in the kitchen for the guests.

Verified reviewThe location was really good. Sibir and Novy Smokovec stations were really close,also a great restaurant was in a walking distance. We liked the vibes of the wooden house. It was great that we had also a smaller common kitchen.
The lady who checked us in was a bit unfriendly and the room was pretty cold even though it was a summer time. Also the walls are really thin in the wooden house. Hygiene could be improved,the towels had bad smell.

Verified reviewLovely spacious rooms, well appointed. With lots of storage and your own fridge. And the shared kitchen facilities were great. 5/10 minutes walk to all of the shops, restaurants and pubs.

Verified reviewPerfect location both public transport-wise, both trekking-wise. Restaurants are easily accessible by foot. The heating was on in September, already (room temperature was 20 C while outside was 0 C). Rooms are equiped with a drier rack you can put on the radiator. The beds were OK.
The bathroom looked as if It hadn't been refurbished in the past 30 years. The shower was gross. The towels that were supposed to be clean had a disgusting odour (I can only hope that it was only because the drier machine didn't finish the whole cycle, and they were meant to be clean, at least). Only slovak programs on TV (no cable TV).
