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...).

SwitzerlandThe spa was awful, a third of the floor of the pool was missing, stuff was floating in the water of the jacuzzi and the ceiling above it was black and moldy. The steam bath was very small and there was trash (paper cups from coffee) inside. The whole hotel has a lot of wear and tear and has not been maintained at all. Things are broken, damaged and not working properly which is unacceptable for a four start hotel. They were also understaffed and I had to almost always wait to get someone at the bar or at the spa desk. People at the bar were nice and kind but not well-trained. They had no idea how to make a cocktail (any cocktail). However, as I said, they were really kind so it is a menagerial mistake that they are not trained. We were in the Appendix building and there was no connection to the main building so we had to go through the garden in the winter to make it to the spa. That is ridiculous for a winter spa hotel to make guests go outside in their towels to get to the spa. There was no hair dryer in the room, we had to get one from reception and return it immediately after use. The hair dryers in the changing room at the spa did not work (all three of them!!!). All in all this hotel is definitely not a four-star hotel and it is definitely not worth the money! May be if it was a two-star it would be ok, but all this is unacceptable. I will never go back there
The rooms were big and clean, most of the staff was friendly

BulgariaFirst thing first they found it very difficult to find our reservation and when we asked about where we could park, they were arrogant when they were answering. In the apartment there were an electric kettle and washing machine that were in a horrible state. In the kettle there was a spider, and it seemed like the washing machine was not cleaned, like ever. In the first couple of days in the was very warm, but the rest of the days was kinda cold. The all-inclusive included only the bar in the restaurant, and it was active from 10am to 10 pm, which meant when you are having breakfast you don't have all-inclusive, since breakfast was from 8 am to 10 am. When we asked on the bar in the restaurant if we can get water for the room, they told us that we have to bring our glasses from the room, so they can fill them up, or we can buy a bottle of water even though we had all-inclusive. The spa that they offered for free with the all-inclusive included a pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath. From all of those only the sauna and the steam bath were hot, the pool and the Jacuzzi were very cold. We had to get out of the spa to ask them if they can make them a little bit warmer. Their answer was that they can, but we had to wait 10-20 min, but after almost 30 min later the water had just begun to warm a little, so we just gave up and went back to the room. Lastly the internet speed, a very important part I might say. It was very, very slow, even though every room had its own access point. We could barely manage to stream an episode of one of our series, but we quickly switched to our hot spot from the phone (and no we did not have unlimited plan)
The room was very spacious.

IrelandWe were group of 3 and one bed was a sofabed which is not so comfortable and wasn't clear on the room information. The staffs are not very friendly and also they are not prepared to receive people from other countries. The are a lot of options for food for breakfast and dinner the only problem is that the food is cold. The hotel is more for Bulgarian people.
The room was nice and clean the hotel facilities were good as well and clean.

United KingdomThe staff at the bar was very rude to us when asked for a coup of coffee they wanted initially to make it in a glass. When we have asked for an actual cup for a coffee they almost threw it on the bar table, made a few comments to the other staff members there and we ended up paying for a cold latte as she did not know how to make one. The food choice was very poor and not tasty.
The location was good and rooms very spacious.

North MacedoniaThe pool is located in the main building and if your room is at secondary buildings you'll have to run to not freeze, but there is another problem: the yard is poorly illuminated (very burned out lights). The food was OK, just OK. The cafe machine was working only for breakfast and not for dinner (I don't know what is that big expense...), at the other side you have tea (while there are bags), water and juices with 3 aromas, but you can drink juice only if you are one of the first that came to dinner room (after that, it was flowing water. The prices of the lobby are pretty high also. After all, I had pretty good time in Murite and with those corrections it would have been the perfect place.
Clean rooms, nice lobby, warm all around the hotel, hot water every time

North Macedonia1. We weren't provided with slippers, we had to manually ask for them, although they are an included feature. 2. There wasn't any guidebook in the room regarding the reception number, breakfast/dinner times, room service, utilities, etc. 3. Poor reception service. 2 out of 3 times, the receptionist didn't answer the phone. We had to go down to the reception, make the inquiry, and go back to our room, which could've been easily solved with a simple phone call. 4. The electric kettle was dirty from the previous room tenants. We even made a request for a change, but it didn't come to fruition, the dirty kettle remained in our room for the remainder of our stay. 5. Although we stayed in an apartment, the space wasn't usable. The kitchen wasn't equipped with any utensils, pots, pans, or plates. Overall, the stay at the apartments isn't worth the charge. 6. The rooms had a specific old smell, probably from lack of ventilation. Also, for a 4-star hotel, the bedroom was quite under-decorated. 7. Although it's listed under facilities, the bathroom didn't have a hairdryer, which for a spa center is a must-have. 8. The hotel is a 20-minute car drive from the center of Bansko. For the same price, you can easily find a booking that offers the same facilities for the same price and is closer to the ski area and old town.
1. The room was quite hot and pleasant to stay in. 2. The pool water was lukewarm and pleasant. 3. The lobby area was cozy. 4. Sufficient parking space.

BulgariaOn first place I felt mislead because the site and booking says that the hotel has 3 types of restaurants and no one told me that only one of them is working and it's on block table. The second thing that is not said anywhere is that you are sharing an entry and a terrace with another room. Third - spa center is in the basement next to the storage room and I don't think it's working cause there were only 5 people running the whole place. It's been written that the pool is warm but it's not.
The area is very beautiful. The view from the window was astonishing. The room was warm. And last but not least the whole crew of 5-10 people were great when we got to know them.

BulgariaThe room was quite small and we had a shared balcony with another room. The rooms do not have an air conditioner?!? It was cold - in the rooms and in the shared spaces. People were dining with their jackets on in the restaurant. Rooms do not have a hairdryer and you have to ask for one from the reception. There were not enough beds in the spa center. The inside pool water was not mineral and warm. The food was enough but almost everything was tasteless. We were on the 4th floor and the elevator was not working about half of the time of our stay.
Our balcony had great view of the mountains. It was clean. The WIFI was good. The staff was really friendly.

United KingdomNot enough staff, not friendly, obviously in a bad mood all the time. From a 6 days of stay we got 1 "Good morning" on our 5th day. Two of us got food poisoning on top of everything!!! And maybe the worst of all was the comment one of the staff said silently behind our backs, while we were discussing the lack of good food - "that's what you paid for"!!! Can you imagine ... I can continue, but I just don't want to stress myself anymore ... The place is falling a part slowly.
Honestly, nothing special.
