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):
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.
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.).

HungaryThis was our very first family vacay with our 10 months old baby and truly it was an experience we will always remember 🙂 literally we spent all our time in the resort area with: lot of fun in the swimming pool, on the playground, big sleepy sessions, eating amazing food together and wandering around the beautiful scenery. Thanks for everything, we loved it! ❤️

SlovakiaI was surprised with the number of additional payments: ice rink, children's corner - everything have to be additionally paid. It was strange and unpleasant for me, as for the guest of the property
Ideal place to stay in winter: beautiful, comfort, good location, tasty food.

HungaryWe were in a 2 bedroom house and two minor things to note: - pillows were a bit too hard and big, but by removing the small one, it was fine - sound isolation in bedrooms is very weak. If somebody is speaking normally in one, you can clearly hear in the other.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom house for new year's eve with smaller children. Everything was great, other reviews are valid about good things. Some extra highlights: - our traditional Slowak wooden log-house was really great, inside and outside. It is big enough for 4 but even for 6. There is a convertible couch in the living room + 4 beds. Interior is really cozy and equipment great. Fully equipped kitchen included. And it's warm due to floor heating. Parking next to the house. And it has a nice smell. 😉🌲 - staff nice and helpful, limited English communication worked fine - buffet style breakfast was great too, good variety and quality, and nothing was empty even close to end. Combination of cold and warm, sweats, vegetables, fruits included. Coffee also good. - buffet style dinner (part of half board) was also great. More the traditional Slovak food but for us it was perfect. Good taste and quality, replaced continuously. Lemonade drink included. (Note: breakfast and dinner in a separate building, short walk, 2-3 mins needed) - various activities are available in a separate building (short walk, 2-3 mins). 2 hours usage of swimming and wellness area per day included in the stay. This area is quite big, 3 pools (swimming, relax, kids), kid's entertainment area, bar. In the same building, you have bowling, pool billiard and table football options for a reasonable fee. Fitness room, quite big, available including a wall climbing area. A simple restaurant with pizza option is also here. During winter time, outside ice skating court, skate renting available. - there is also an event hall where the Sylvester party was organised. - the location is also great, ski resorts e.g Donovaly is close, but also a bigger city (Ruzomberok) is just 15mins drive away. Surrounding nature, beautiful, good walking, tracking, cycling options. Close to the wellness building even a sledge hill is available. (if there is snow)

SlovakiaBreakfast coffee was bad. Water world crowded on Saturday, but shows it’s popularity.
Great place for families, our dog loved it there too. Daily entry to water world a great value. Whole area is very well looked after. You do need a car if you want to do walks and little trips to sledge for example. Amazing breakfast, but coffee was not good. Pizza from coffee late in the evening a bonus. Staff at reception very professional and friendly. Worth paying extra for late check-out.

HungaryThe staff (except one manager) doesn't speak English and fail to share any information, not even the basic ones. The hotel info brochure is just in Slovak. The tips were also misguiding, we were recommended to take a walk along the hill, just there was actually no trail back. One BIG disadvantage, independent from the hotel, is the massive Road construction and the resulting tremendous queue at Donovaly, which easily takes 2-3 hours to pass!!!! (by 2023 Autumn-Winter)
The cottages are beyond cute, the Resort definitely has a Fairytale vibe. The wellness area is very nice.

Austria- The kids pool was a bit cold, my son wanted to go back the to bigger, warmer pool after about 5 minutes, even though he wanted to play. - There was an extremely rude (older gentleman) lifeguard who rolled his eyes at me and told me I'm in Slovakia, I need to speak Slovak; when I explained I speak English. Being that this is an international booking service, staff must surely know that people from anywhere in the world could visit.
- Very clean, quiet location, beautiful views, great facilities and adorable cottages. - The pool was perfect temperature - We enjoyed the bowling alley and my son especially had fun in the kids play area. - Breakfast and dinner was always a good variety and delicious. - The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was really comfortable.
