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 hotel is lovely in great location.
We stayed here few years back and were looking forward to our return. Unfortunately our dietary requirements due to allergies were not dealt with to our satisfaction and we skipped the breakfast. I emailed your helpdesk before our arrival to enquire about our dietary requirements and didn’t find the staff particularly helpful with this problem. For the price of breakfast I’d expect wider range of vegan, in our case egg free and gluten free products (bakery). I wish I checked before booking, we would have chosen another hotel. I was also advised to call booking.com if I needed to amend our booking regarding breakfast what I believe in 2025 should be something I could have done over app, email or directly with reception.

Verified reviewAbsolutely fabulous hotel with so many facilities available. I enjoyed the bath and the bathrobe, the staff was very helpful and kind. We even got some guidance from them where to visit around the city! This was actually helpful, and me and a friend enjoyed our stay. And also check-out at 12:00, sauna and gym available, coffee machine in the room. Great experience!

Verified reviewThe hotel is incredibly well situated- we got the bus from Bratislava-Petrzalka and crossed the road- there it was! At the foot of the castle (and near some delicious restaurants) and across the road from the old town. Amazing. We were in a top floor room and had access to the lounge which was fantastic, and the view from our room was of the castle. The room was spacious with the most massive bathroom! The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke excellent English. We didn’t try the downstairs bar as we had access to the lounge but it was always occupied and the bartenders seemed very friendly!

Verified reviewThere's a lot of relaxation space in the sauna area. Both women in the reception were very helpful and welcoming. The equipment and furniture are quite worn out, but everything works.
The bathroom wasn't cleared properly, there were some hairs left. Finnish sauna had 40% humidity with 95 degree celcius, which is way to high, it should be 10-15% max. It was impossible to breath there, unpleasant and quite unhealthy. I reported it to the reception, but nobody reacyed for a few hours. At spa balcony people are smoking cigarettes when you want to relax. Many guests are using sauna in swimming suit and in the evening there was a family sitting in full clothes, with their smartphones and a dog in sauna area and nobody from staff said anything. In hotel and sauna there's only a tap water provided, it has no juice or any electrolytes needed in the sauna. Alternatively, you can make a tea, but only in plastic cups, maybe there could be paper ones available.
Dear Lean, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the relaxation areas in our spa and that our reception team made you feel welcome. At the same time, we sincerely regret the inconveniences you experienced. We apologize for the cleanliness issue in the bathroom and for the sauna conditions not being adjusted properly during your visit. Your comments regarding smoking, dress code in the spa area, and the behaviour of other guests are very valuable to us, and we will review our guidelines and staff supervision to ensure a more relaxing atmosphere for everyone. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding beverage options and the use of cups – we will take these into consideration as we look to improve our wellness offerings. Thank you once again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a more enjoyable and seamless stay. Falkensteiner Hotel Bratislava Team
