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...).

RomaniaThe fridge is so loud I had to disconnect it for the night. TV remote control is not fully working, the tv set cannot be powered on or off from it. The bed is old and VERY noisy.
There is no reception, the owner calls you / you call him, and he gives instructions. Communication is OK, checking in is easy at any moment. Lots of TV channels, however all Bulgarian.

ChinaThere was a bit of unpleasant cigarette smell in the room, even though it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. We couldn't quite get rid of it. Also, the bathroom could have been cleaner.
The city view was pretty nice; most of the time it was quiet and pleasant. The hotel has the basic necessities. It is perfect for an one-night stay or a budget trip. Good for one person or a couple, but it will be challenging for a family with a child.

United KingdomTV for some reason didn't work. Not a big deal for myself and my partner but just something we noticed. Not sure if the frige was working or not but we didn't need it to me honest. It didn't feel like it was working, hence me mentioning it here.
Relatively close proximity to Gorna Banya metro station. Great view from the balcony. Overall comfortable conditions of the accomodation: Nicely sized room and bathroom, additional blanket was just the right thickness to provide great level of warmth during the night, AC worked well, just right amount of towels, easy access to the room.

United KingdomI'm not an early riser so I find it difficult if a room lets in alot of light or there is noise in the morning. Eye mask and earplugs sorts this issue for me wherever I am.
My second time staying here. I wouldnt have rebooked this hotel if it wasn't a good place. Sofia can be hit and miss and many hotels are mis advertised, dirty and with bad facilities even though their adverts say otherwise. Hotel Fancy is exactly as advertised, great value for money and a good Hotel to spend some time near Sofia without being in the middle of the city.

Location location location. It is a charming area with friendly locals, many places to eat cheaply, a lovely park where the locals gather, spring water taps to fill up from (comes out at 37c and needs to be chilled first) friendly owner. Very green area with alot of wildlife.

FranceWhen we arrived, it was the staff of the bike rental business downstairs who gave us our room's key. They literally just gave us our key and showed us the door of the room and that's it. They struggled to find the wifi password when we asked for it. The worst part was the internet which is really bad. It's too far from the subway (15-20mn walking, and too isolated so we didn't want to walk this path by night), at least the bus was not too far. The bathroom's toilet was not clean when we arrived.
It's very quiet. The room is pretty big and nice, with equipment. It's like 30mn with the from the city center, so it's still okay.

It didn't seem to be clean, as well as all the dust there was a funny smell in the room and curtains need a good wash too.

Romaniachronologically: - nobody called to confirm anything, there is no reception - called the number listed in Booking, a guy responded and told me to ring the number on the door - called the number on the door, another guy answering doesn't speak english very well, we take like 5 minutes to find our rooms (a 20 second walk) - the parking is not there. this hotel is listed like it has parking but doesn't (!!!) - inside the yard there is no directions signs, the door with the phone number on it is actually a garage door and it's locked (and since is the first one as you enter the yard, it is very confusing) - we got two rooms and both had pictures with sexual poses on the (okay, fine..) - me and my wife get a room that smells like a smoking room and opening the window doesn't help much, but helps a couple of mosquitos to enter - I go into the bathroom where IT STINKS HARD. mold on the shower wall blacks out the seems of the wall tiling. - walk around the room without anything in my feet and I look at my feet, they are disgusting (washed my feet in the sink because I don't feel comfortable showering with that mold) - went to bed, everything smells like burnt cigarettes, except that a mouldy smell appears - I forgot the bathroom door slightly ajar and the mold is that strong. - closed everything, trying to sleep. dogs start barking on the street and you can hear everything. my background: I've worked at a 4-star Ramada hotel for 6 years long time ago - I know how hotels work and this "fancy family hotel" is not fancy, is not for families and it ain't a hotel!
- big rooms - very white sheets and towels - ok beds - ok view of the city
