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 reviewThis place is truly charming, offering a deep sense of peace and harmony. We only stayed for one night, but we are already eager to return and spend more time here. The room exudes intimacy, history, and quietness, while the nearby river creates a natural harmony that makes the experience unforgettable. The host welcomed us warmly and even surprised us with a thoughtful gift, making our stay feel even more special.

Verified reviewI had a great stay at this hotel! The room was very clean, and I especially enjoyed the beautiful view from the window!! The breakfast was delicious with a nice variety, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Overall, a lovely experience — I would definitely stay here again!
We were charged for two bottles of water. For a hotel in this price range, I believe it would be more appropriate to offer at least one complimentary bottle of water per day in the room.

Verified reviewThe location was fabulous with the most amazing view. We stayed in the largest room with the wooden bathtub…the suite was beautifully decorated and very large and comfortable. We were the only guests so had the run of the castle. Wonderful breakfast spread and eggs etc was also on offer, unfortunately we are not really breakfast people but everything we had was delicious! The owner Alexander spoke Russian with little English, however we managed to communicate sufficiently, very welcoming. A bottle of their own wine was waiting to welcome us. Beautiful walk along the river.
We stayed before the beginning of the season so dinner was not available, however we found a great restaurant about 20 minutes away. We did find it hard to get a comfortable temperature for the 2 air conditioners on the remotes …but wasn’t worth bothering anyone.

Verified reviewWhere to start?! Maybe with... This is a real castle! The room we booked was truly gorgeous. The entire panoramic wall was made of glass, the interior inside the room was made of wood and beautiful furniture in a high-quality, expensive style. The bathroom is a separate story, with a simply beautiful and rare design. The bathtub is made of wood, we highly recommend trying it.., the toilet is in a separate room. The hosts took extremely good care of the guests & we've being received at a high level! The breakfast and its serving created an atmosphere of such a high level that can only be obtained in a castle, and unfortunately today not so many people know how to provide guests with such a high level of rest. Gratitude for everything, everything was at the highest level!!! Look regard to visit you again
NOthing that we don't enjoy it !!

Verified reviewThe property has been renovated to a high standard. Our suite was very comfortable and spacious. It is beautiful setting with great views all around. Breakfast was varied and generous. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately the evening meal in the restaurant wasn’t great. Limited menu, as only a few guests. It was cooked to order but seemed like frozen food reheated. We would have preferred that they recommended a local restaurant. Breakfast was very generous though. And it was nice to be able to sample different wines.

Verified reviewIt was an extremely unique place to stay, we loved it. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is a river for swimming at the bottom of the hill. Breakfast was fantastic as well.
The Deluxe Suite (with jacuzzi) was too hot even with the AC going full blast. I would not book that room again if temperatures are in the 30s C.
