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 are 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 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.).

HungaryWe knew, what we book, but the room carpet needed a cleaning. The bathroom was old and overused. Some renovation is needed in the future.
The meals were the best part, even in off season. It was great!

CroatiaParking should be free like in most of the hotels. The walls are thin, if other guests are loud like in our case, you cannot get a good sleep. A pair of earplugs can solve it though:) The hotel has a private beach but the chairs are not free.
Food and service was great. Most of the stuff was very nice. The position is amazing, right on the main walking boulevard. We enjoyed our stay.

RomaniaAlthough there is a large variety of food you can choose from (I felt also that every day there is a new dish), one feels that some ingredients can be of a better quality (for example the bread felt below average).
I liked that the hotel: is very close to the Balaton lake, has clean rooms and a good variety of activities for children. I felt the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

HungaryI only did not like the price of the double room with half board, as a local it seems a bit overpriced. We had to pay for the sunbeds at the hotel’s strand.
Everything was perfect but the price. The room was clean with comfy beds and fridge. We got the topfloor east facing room with a little lake view. The breakfast and the dinner was delicious , during our stay the 7 days we got all the hungarian “musthaves” with nice dessert and fruit varieties.

AustraliaLast year, when we stayed there for 2 weeks and loved it, there were vegan options at the buffet. This time they were going to charge 6000Ft/person + 12%tax/ day and suddenly everything had butter, milk and egg in. So we couldn’t eat anything there ( after paying lots of money already for staying there) and that was the reason we left after 1 day. We couldn’t understand why it cost so much money NOT to put butter and milk into things. It’s a pity that we can never return to this hotel as it used to be our favourite.

SlovakiaThe room was very old - bed was luckily replaced with a newer one, but the bathroom was probably from the 90s (if not from the 80s) - I mean we were able to take a shower and clean ourselves, but I would not call it a pleasant experience. The food was mostly meat, just a few vegetarian options for dinner (but actually just side dishes with steamed vegetables - so not a proper meal, even though everything tasted great). The staff did not give us much instructions about the pool area and absolutely no instructions about the private beach area (where it is, how it works - it is not directly next to the hotel, you have to walk for about 3 minutes in a certain direction, and then use a bar code you get at the check in - we had to figure all this by ourselves). Not enough elevators for such a huge and full hotel. As there were many people in the hotel, it was very noisy at lunch and dinner.
The location of the hotel was great, the private beach is nice and clean, the hotel has a large car park (but you have to pay extra money), the swimming pool and sauna were nice. The restaurant had quite a variety of meals (especially for meat eaters), quite okay coffee for breakfast and nice choice of drinks. Also the restaurant has a terrace so you can sit outside when you have breakfast or dinner.

IrelandA little bit of investment into the bathrooms would do a huge change on a + side. Our rooms didn’t have the shower holder which is not a big deal but make the shower a bit awkward.
The hotel seen a better days as it is quite old, however everything is working as it should, the rooms are clean and have mosquito nets which is a big +, staff are very friendly and helpful, facilities are good, and the food choices and quality was 4*👍

HungaryA travel back in time but not certainly in a bad way. One thing's for sure: The hotel has a retro vibe in every way. The inside pool’s temperature is too cold. I don’t know what’s the point offering the same one as the Balaton. In this case most people would prefer the Balaton. The Wi-Fi is practically unusable in the room.
A huge hotel located in the best place of Balatonfüred. A three-star hotel that offers services that usually only available in higher class hotels. The price value ratio is one of the best. They have an inside pool, sauna and a private beach to the Balaton which is really nice. They offer a very good selection of food for breakfast and dinner as well in a buffet service. Cold and hot meals too. Unlimited free soft drinks (Coke and Rauch products) for dinner which is exceptional. Kind and friendly staff.
