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.).

BulgariaThe bed was not comfortable - old and thin matrice. There was some type of celebration in the restaurant which went on long past 0100 in the morning. The floor is worn out and does not look particularly clean. The doors are quite thin, so you can hear people passing by during the night.
Expedited check in.

United KingdomThe carpets were filthy, however. They had been hovered diligently, but clearly hadn't been washed in years. There were stains everywhere and unless I kept the window open, the smell filled the room. They need a good pressure wash - it looked nothing like the pictures. I was in two different rooms during my stay and in both, the fan in the bathroom wasn't working. As a result, the window needed to stay open to air out, otherwise the smell of humidity was overwhelming. Even then, the smell didn't fully dissipate, and I found myself using the AC with the window open, to combat both smell and heat, which was frustrating and could have been avoided.
The location of the hotel is brilliant and staff were all very polite and helpful. The cleaning team did a fantastic job in the room before I moved in. The bed was comfortable and there was AC in the room which was highly needed.

GreeceThere was loud music from the club below the hotel which was shaking the bed from the bass. The furniture was falling apart. The breakfast was very limited and basic. We were supposed to have spa, but noone informed us that it was not working. The water wasn't hot enough in the morning.
The location was perfect. It was clean.

BulgariaThe air conditioner was not working and we were "lucky" enough to stay there during some of the coldest days of the winter. On the second day, they provided us with a radiator, but it was too small to warm the entire room so in the evening we asked for a second one. On the third night, we finally reached some normal temperature.
Great location. Underground parking. Nice Staff. The room was quite spacious and the bed was big and comfortable. The view from the room was amazing!

NetherlandsThe suite was not to call a suite.. the bathroom was very poor, Leaking bathtub, the cabinet was hanging lose. The staff couldn’t even bring a smile on the face or speak English.. Also one of the waiters is very rude, only the receptioniste was able to smile. I would definitely not recommend.. Should have made photo’s of how bad the room was. Lucky that I only stayed a weekend, if I stayed longer I would have gone to another hotel.
The fountain in front of it is very nice, also that there is shops around easily to get there. But the property itself was very poor and not a nice stay.

United KingdomBeds were so low to the ground. Needed help getting in and out of bed. Stayed in many hotels in Bulgaria, never had a bed like this one. I called reception to ask if they had rooms with higher beds, was told I had executive room and all beds were the same. Wifi was not great. I had an important zoom call and it couldn't handle it at all. Lost connection and call. No shower gel in bathroom. Breakfast is buffet style. First mouthful of scrambled egg had long hair in it. I didn't eat anymore. Disgusting! Pool closes at 8pm and doesn't open again until 11am, so no morning swim available. Quite a few stairs to and from underground car park. Local church next to hotel has its bells ringing every 30 mins, day and night.
It's a central location. Lovely water feature in the town square. Close to many bars. Very nice town. Big room. Air con worked well. Room was clean. Staff were helpful, friendly. Blackout curtains. Parking available. Extra 3 leva charge. 2-3 English speaking channels on tv.

United Arab EmiratesBeing on the top floor with constant sun exposure throughout the day the A/C unit was not sufficient to even slightly cool down the room. The A/C unit needs upgrade. To be fair we were visiting in the hotest months of the year (July/August). Also there was an issue with some noise till late at night from a bar across the street.
Our double room was amazing, very large bed (bigger than king size), dark-out curtains, great WiFi, AMAZING VIEW, very large bath tub, very clean, a lot of space, great overall. Right in the heart and city center of Vratza. Underground 24 security parking. Basic breakfast available in the hotel restaurant for a small charge. Great coffee ☕
