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 reviewThe first thing that comes to mind is the sensational view over lake bled and the castle. The hotel is still very new and one can still see that it was renovated not so long ago. We had a room with a balcony which was very nice. The bathroom was very modern and equipped with high quality soaps and shampoos. The bed is very comfortable. Breakfast was also very good!
There is nothing negative in my opinion. A few things that could bother some people: - There is a quite busy road between the hotel and the lake. So if you want to enjoy a quiet afternoon on the balcony, you will here some road noise. But the windows and doors are soundproof so you don’t hear it when their closed. - The rooms are quite cozy, so there is not that much space for your luggage. - There is no elevator. But walking a few steps is always a good workout. These are all points that become clear by looking at the pictures and reading the information, so it was no surprise to us when we arrived. It’s a great hotel that I would definitely recommend!

The breakfast selection could be improved to include some more basic options like cereal, tea (for the British people 😂)

Verified reviewThe location is perfect - in a quieter part of town directly on the water. You can swim, rent boats and SUP right across from the hotel without the crowds of other popular swimming spots. The lake view from the rooms is amazing. Breakfast also great with lots of choice!
A very small thing but the mini fridge in the room was very noisy. We had to turn it off at night. The bed was a little creaky.

Verified reviewWe absolutely would recommend staying at the Hotel Starkl. The hotel was located on the Lake, we had a beautiful view of the castle from our room. It was slightly outside of the main city which to us made it even more desirable. Right across the road from the hotel was one of the 3 locations to catch the traditional boats which took you out to the island with the chapel. And it literally only took 8 minutes to walk to town on the path that went around the lake. We walked to the entrance to the castle, we walked around the lake all from Hotel Starkl. The staff was very professional, breakfast was nice and included. The room was very comfortable and roomy. I was so so happy with my choice of hotel. Oh yeah, you can swim in lake Bled right across from the hotel. Excellent experience.

Verified reviewThe location is superb: easily one of the most beautiful locations we have ever stayed at. You walk right out onto the lake. The breakfast was nice. The hotel was clean. Would recommend.
Felt pricey for a 3-star hotel and for the amenities and service provided. For example, they charge extra for an early check in of a couple of hours, though we already paid 475Eur for 2 nights. The room is recently renovated but could already use an upgrade: the airconditioning and fridge were loud.
