Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesNot really their fault, but they were doing some sort of construction or maintenance in a room close to ours. They were using a heavy-duty drill. We had traveled on the sleeper train from Varna, Bulgaria, all night (8 hours), so we were exhausted. Couldn't get any rest until they stopped a couple of hours later.
Beautiful hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. Great location. Very nice neighborhood.

LuxembourgAmazing service, beautiful stylish hotel close to a small park. The hotel was highly recommended to me by a regular visitor and I understand why. The hotel itself is close to the city center but not in the most crowded areas. It has everything one might need for a business or private stay. It's clean and very comfortable with beautiful restaurant terrace and good food. The best though was though the staff and I would like to thank them for their assistance.

United Statesthe coffee, plenty of electric sockets but several needed replacement (you had to jiggle plugs to use them, but even that did not work on some), some small stains on carpet on entrance to room, no sockets in bathroom for personal hair dryers (there is a built in hair dryer, if you can live without your personal one).
spacious rooms, luxury feel with good pricing, great bar, great breakfast, friendly staff, very convenient parking garage in basement, big bathrooms with lots of stone, big park across the street, plenty of places to eat in walking distance

BulgariaIt's my favourite hotel in Sofia, it was my fourth stay here and it has never failed to meet my expectation, but manages to exceed them. This time I had a room with a great view of the nearby park, a great bonus to the regular overall positive impressions. Everyone here is friendly and helpful, really customer-centred approach. The room was spacious and clean, very comfy beds and it's very quiet here, can't remember being disturbed with any sounds from the neighbouring rooms. Nice amenities and the snacks in the mini-bar are of good quality. Thanks for the experience!

RomaniaThe flight corridor crosses Sofia and, as the airport is close, the planes are still quite low when they pass the city. An airplane is flying above the hotel every 10 minuets or so. I did not mind it, but for someone sensitive to sound it may be bothering. People at the reception are very nice and prompt and helpful, the ones in the restaurant may forget abut patrons sometimes.
Very well located, with restaurants and cafes around, in a nice, central area. Safe to walk to the very center of the city. The room I had was very nice, large, well lit (and with a large balcony) and well heated. Everythng one may need is handy. Breakfast was good and diverse,

CyprusMy room had issue with heating from the first day and mentioned that although they did assist on time and I had to complaint again the 2n day in order to provide me a small heater. They offered me to change the room from 5th floor to 1st on 3rd stay which is not good customer experience for this nice hotel.
The hotel is located in an excellent location close to the city centre. The room was spotless, every day they clean the room and provide 2 bottles of water and coffee capsules. The room is luxurious and big with nice view to park and mountains.
