Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe staff was not very helpful or friendly. The breakfast room was gloomy and the breakfast food of really poor quality. Did also have a man trying to open our door during the evening as we had turned the lights off for a nap, and then saw a few men checking windows from the outside as if scouting flats to break in, in line with a number of reviews here.
The room was fairly clean and true to pictures.

Bulgaria1. The staff on reception was inadequate and lacks communication skills. They were saying random codes for some doors that we didn’t know the location of. Making them tell us information was like pulling teeth.. 2. Could not explain in our native language (we are Bulgarians) where our rooms are. 3. Ski shuttle was broken so they were using another hotel’s shuttle - terrible communication between hotel and shuttle, we were waiting 50 minutes for it and then gave up and walked to the hotel in our ski gear!!! 4. Hard to find the entrance and reception 5. Barrier breaks constantly 6. Some rooms are very cold, we needed additional heaters.. for winter season, it is unacceptable. 7. When we first arrived, they couldn’t find the key to one of the rooms..
1. Breakfast is nice 2. Massage lady has amazing skills!

RomaniaIt was cold in the room as the balcony doors did not closed properly. No wi-fi, as the apartment was not in the main building. Small bathroom and no furniture/ shelfs where you can put cosmetics or something. Furniture was old. The bedroom was over-crowded with useless furniture. The fridge was very noisy. The garden/ the way to the restaurant/ reception was very dark by night.
Large apartment, we did not miss anything. The pool was heated (this was a biiig surprise), the saunas were ok, the food was great (breakfast and dinner), the staff was very frindly and helpful. Big yeeey for the comfy bathrobes. Very close to the Gondola. You can buy ski passes or rent equipment from the hotel.

United KingdomThere’s is a room service menu in the room however when we tried to order some the phone didn’t work and when we eventually got through we were told they do not do it. The fire alarm went off multiple times during our stay which no one seemed alarmed about. There was a fruit bowl in the room but the fruit was mouldy.
Good location, good facilities such as the spa and sauna.

GreeceThe "automatic" bar for the parking that was supposed to open with a camera reading your licence plates, didn't open not even once. We had to go inside and tell them to open it everytime. Staff was not rude but was somehow indifferent. It looks like most of the people we encountered in Bansko are like this though.. We had to wait 30min because our room wasn't ready on check in time.
Generally I think there isn't a better value for money choice in Bansko, very satisfied! Very good breakfast! Nice facilities with spacious rooms, kids' playground, spa, swimming pool etc. It snowed a lot and the Staff was cleaning all the snow all the time.

Czech RepublicThe indoor pool was probably over-chlorinated, after half an hour our eyes started to burn, a cold started and we started coughing so intensely that we had to leave the pool room.
Excellent breakfast, spacious apartment. The temperature is just right. Inner heated pool. And a great price/service ratio. Very close to lift.

United KingdomThe 'hot food' at breakfast isnt hot. They turned on the heaters on our last day (so they did work!) just not on any other day - cold scrambled egg anyone?? The beds creak - a lot! Im not talking bedroom antics here, they just creak at every little movement - really annoying. If you do want to cook in your apartment, beyond some pans cutlery, plates and glasses etc there is very little else. No cooking oil, salt/pepper etc. No bottle opener or corkscrew. Just mentioning this in case you were thinking of self catering. Probably the best self catering option is to get a rotisserie chicken from the main Aldo supermarket - very tasty!
Spa and pool were very nice. Selection of temperature rooms, steam room, jacuzzi etc. Location is good - less than 10 mins walk to the Gondola, and they provide a shuttle service if your legs have really given up on you. Nearest supermarket is 5 mins away.

United KingdomAttention to detail from the cleaners. Room shower had mould growing on the silicon, soap dispenser was leaking and the shower leaked from underneath the base which flooded the bathroom every time. Mix the water and soap together and you have and extremely slippery surface. Also the pool could do with a deep clean and a continuous temperature. One day it was warm the next cold.
Generally we liked everything. Breakfast had a good variation of hot and cold dishes. From sweet to savoury and meat to fruits. The location was perfect for the things we needed. We was a group aged 1-45. The rooms were warm and had kettle, toasters, hobs, pans, plates etc.

Ukrainewe stay during Christmas holidays it was very crowded at the SPa and restaurant, but personal did they best to give good service. At the appartment kettle was missing when we asked on the reception they said is not available as hotel very busy, well for family room with a child I think kettle something necessary, anyway is not a big deal other kitchenette were there.
good location, friendly personal, very nice food. breakfast and dinner amazing selection of different meet and salads. in the morning pancakes or waffle. The ladies at the restaurant provide amazing service they were fast and proactive, clean tables and prepared for next guest. it was very crowded in rush time but they refresh food very fast and supply all what is need it. We stay in two bedroom appartment in the main building, appartment was clean and prepared for 5 people as we need. Towels, bathrobes, bedsheets all were clean and fresh. we also get some complimentary fruits upon arrival which was so nice.

United KingdomCleaning should be done with more care and professional machines; the water in the pools must be heated in order to be appropriate for kids even when the weather is not that hot; flies and bees around the dinner tables must be removed
The facilities are no worse than the top 2 hotels in Bansko: Kempinski and Lucky Bansko, indoor pool, outdoor pool, kids pools indoors and outdoors, kids playground, nice atmosphere indeed
