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 reviewPlenty of parking, within walking distance to the city centre. Staff communicated well in advance.
VERY basic facilities. No shower door/room, no hairdryer.
Dear Mr Congmin, thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were missing a hairdryer during your stay. We actually do have hairdryers on request at no cost. Detailed info about our equipment can be found on the homepage. We are aware that our facilities are on a basic level atm and we do hope to renovate our house in the coming years. We hope that you will visit us again! - staff

Verified reviewThe room was big! Appreciate the free parking!
My room had a lot of ants crawling on the ceiling, gave me the creeps. Breakfast could've been better, they only had cold options.

Pillows were too thin. Location, quite far from center specially if you are cycling. Be aware of the hills! Breakfast was too basic and not replenished quick enough.

Verified reviewVery basic accomodation but it is OK for that price. You can get easily and quick to the city center by line 27, the stop is very close to the hotel.
Check-in and check-out timeslots are very strange, you can check in late, from 5 PM, but have to check out before 9.30 AM.
Dear Csaba Attila, thank you for your feedback. Our core business is that of a youth hostel and we mainly accommodate schools, youth groups and other guests. For this reason, our typical reception hours are reflecting our business hours. We hope you understand!

Verified reviewsolo traveler, got a clean wide room with 4 beds; quiet place with a ~forest view from the window feels/looks like a soviet-era building, but room & bed & bath were quite comfortable and 100% clean
9:30 check-out is a bit early for me; the staff was very friendly though location is a biiit inconvenient if you come by bus/train and carry heavy luggage because of the uphill; If you use the bus, pay attention to get off at the right stop and let the driver know to actually stop there :)

Verified reviewIt is in a very quiet area on top of a hill with nearby shops. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And the receptionist is friendly and accommodating.
The Breakfast buffet doesn’t offer much variety. Just the normal Austrian cold cuts, bread. For family travelers with small kids, the food is not so satisfying.

Verified reviewA very nice position, situated close to the Arena but out of the noise of the city. A beautiful park can be found nearby. The people working there were lovely and very helpful, the breakfast had a nice buffet and you can even buy small earplugs if you're going to a concert like I did! The bathroom was a little claustrophobic, but it had everything we needed and it was private, so I have no complaints for it. I hope to come see you again! 😁

Verified reviewIt’s quite literally beside the TipsArena, so if you’re going to a concert or event there (as was my case) it’s super convenient. The buffet didn’t have much stuff but it’s nice.
It’s old, smells weird, and it’s not really clean. The floor carpet on the 2nd floor has huge stains. The rooms all have 2 bunk beds, and even if you book for a single person you’ll still get to sleep on a bunk bed. My mattress wasn’t bad, and my sheets were clean, but the bed and the room in general doesn’t feel inviting at all.
