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.).

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the bohemian vibe — and of course, the company of our cat and dogs. They love meeting new friends (especially the ones who give good scratches). Hope to see you again soon! 🐶🐱✨

Could do with some bain-marie or hot plates as the dinner was on a cold side after half an hour on buffet tables...

Verified reviewThe hot tub was fantastic – the perfect way to relax after a long, tiring day. The room was small but perfectly adequate, warm and cozy, with the radiators keeping it nice and toasty. The shower could use some improvement as the water pressure was a bit weak, but overall it didn’t spoil our stay. Breakfast was good, though not very varied. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a very positive stay!
Dear Katarzyna, thank you for the lovely, detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It’s wonderful to hear you felt comfortable and welcome. We appreciate your feedback about the shower pressure and breakfast variety, and we will take it into consideration as we work to improve these areas. It’s especially heartwarming to know that our friendly team helped make your stay even better. We are all far from home, and our priority is to make everyone feel at home, just as we have found a home here. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing visit! Warm wishes, Isabel

The rooms lock was broken. Bathroom did not have a lock. The window curtain was broken. We also got the worst room probably based on location.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we’re glad you appreciated the location of the hotel, we’re truly sorry for the issues you encountered with the room. This is not the standard we aim to provide. Our handyman is already working on these repairs to ensure they are resolved promptly.

Verified reviewThe dogs were fantastic! There were a hot tub to be used for free, very nice! Rooms were nice and clean.
Our major concern is regarding the food: we paid extra for dinner buffet, which did not meet our expectations based on the price. The breakfast was very basic, e.g. the only available bread was plain toast bread and the fruit "juice" was rather a fruit-flavoured drink.
Dear Glenn, thank you for your constructive feedback! We are delighted you enjoyed our rooms, hot tub, and, of course, our friendly dogs, they are always a guest favorite! We’re sorry to hear that the dinner buffet and breakfast did not meet your expectations. Your comments are very helpful and will help us improve the quality as we continue to make changes. We want every part of your stay to be great, and your input helps us move closer to that goal. We are hoping we get another chance to welcome you again and offer a more satisfying experience all around. Best regards, Isabel
