How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe restaurant staff were very friendly, and the view and lake access are great. If you go for a bed at the lake to chill for the day, the service is amazing! The rooms are nice, modern and clean.
There’s no reception or on-site staff (apart from the restaurant personnel), which might be fine when everything works — but when something goes wrong, there’s simply no one to turn to. In our case, the air conditioning broke during our stay. We reported it, but the issue wasn’t resolved, and we ended up spending a very uncomfortable night in a hot room. For the price we paid, that’s just not acceptable. I also want to mention that there is no fridge, it would have been nice for some hikes. Hotel guests still have to pay rent for the beds at the lake. Without breakfast, the value for the money doesn't pan out imo.

Bad smell, we were bitten by a bud most probably overnight. It is not a hotel but rather an Air B&B stay as not even a reception exists. Price quality ratio is the worst (250 Euro!) for a small room in a kind of cellular with no view even

Verified reviewFantastic location, room was very comfy, and the facilities were modern. The hotel itself is great, but the bar restaurant and beach club is awesome. Positioned right on the lake with beautiful views, sunbeds, an artificial beach, a bar and the food and wine was exceptional. The owner really thought about what he was putting together with this place and I would not hesitate to stay here again. It was exceptional, if you want a place to stay which is a little quieter but still has a bit of action about it, then this is the place.
Only stayed one night, I wish we could have stayed a week. I loved it, nothing I didn't like at all.

Verified reviewEverything is new and clean. Staff is kind, food is good and you have the access to the lounge area & à small beach. Trendy DJ are mixing over the weekend
If you are looking for a quiet place, it's not the right location.
