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.).

There were no sign for using elevator from street, I would you use it when I just arrived. But instead I was keeping up with my heavy luggage by myself.
Nice hotel, close to the Train station, not far from city center (20 minutes by bus). There are shops and restaurants nearby. Room was big and clean. Breakfast costs 10 euro but choice of products is super limited. I would recommend go for breakfast somewhere different area. Receptions is responsive, ready to help. They have elevator for luggage. I would book rooms again.

Really good location, 2-5 mins from central railway station and there is a big supermarket nearby. Big rooms with all necessary things. Pet friendly hotel, we traveled with a dog and didn't pay any fee for that. Nice place to have a rest before a long trip.

There was no plug in the wash basin - but this is something I have noticed in many places in Eastern Europe.
Rooms were a very good size. Everything worked as expected. The bed was comfortable. The location was central to Strada Ismael (which is convenient for buses from the airport as well as buses to Gara de Sud, and Gara de Nord for onward journeys). The room was quiet with little traffic noise. Some of the reception staff spoke English. There was a good range of choices at the brakfast buffet.

Pretty nice hotel with friendly owner. The room was really big with fridge and kettle. Good location (up to 10 mins to train station, about 25 mins to city center). The breakfast was pretty good as well, there were not a huge variety of food, but still not that bad (eggs, a bunch of vegetables, some cheese and meat, coffee with milk, cereal)

Cable TV provided almost exclusively channels dubbed in Russian, sometimes subtitled in Romanian. Because of the dubbing, you could not really understand anything. But this is not necessarily the villa's fault.
Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Huge room, can accommodate a family. Equipped with big fridge. Very calm, not noisy at all, allows you to get a good rest.

Walls between the rooms are too thin, crying babies and snoring neighbours can keep a light sleeper up at night.

Cozy and very big family room The great terrace, the room is light and clean The staff is kind, helped us with few our questions - printed fly documents, booked taxi, opened the door early in the morning We had a check in at 14-00, but we were in the room two hours earlier - thanks!
