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...).

GermanyThe only thing that I would suggest to improve are the pillows. They were very flat and depleted.
Great breakfast, great view and very cozy location. The staff was really friendly and it's the perfect location to spend some quiet time in between hiking or other outdoor activities.

LatviaOnly a small suggestion from me as a lense wearer - mirror in the bathroom is located too far in the niche. People who are wearing lenses will understand how important it is - to see your face closer, than in a distance.
Perfect location for nature lovers. Nice and clean room. Very good breakfast. Free parking. Amazing service - Ondrej (?) in the reception provided us with useful information and was very kind and supportive. Despite our late arrival - the check-in was smooth and fast, all information was sent to us and was clear. Would love to return.

GermanyNot that I did not like explicitly, but for other to be aware - the loction is up the hill and you need to clime quite a few steps up to reach it. So not exactly great option for people with mobility issues, but then again Sächsische Schweiz is mainly for hikers, so I guess most tourists coming here know what to expect.
Overall great stay and nothing to complain. Friendly staff, nice breakfast and dinner options if one does not feel like going into town in the evening. Sauna to use free of charge, you only need to sign up on the reception. The hotel has a nice cosy vibe.

United StatesWe walked to the hotel and, goodness, the stairs! We huffed and puffed the 15 min walk, all stairs, up to the hotel with our luggage. It was much better going down.
I loved how the property was tucked into the woods. The staff were amazing. We arrived early and rang the bell. Luckily they answered and let us store our bags in the lobby area. The receptionists were personable, helpful, and kind. Our room was perfect for three people and used the pull out couch for one of us. It was comfortable. The sauna was a bonus! We enjoyed the open kitchen and honor system for drinks. I would stay here again.

NetherlandsAfter reserving in booking i got an request to out a form online asking for personal information, I did it and got a confirmation everything is set. arriving to the property is see that no1 is there, but there is a locker where the keys should be available. I didn't get any code or instructions on how to use tat loxker. I called the property several time but I ear the phone ringing inside, there's a hand written phone number on the door I called that one, no answer either. I called booking support that tried to reach the hotel, they didn't succeed either. Its quite a bad experience to travel to an isolated location and the basics are not covered, next morning the manager called me, when I tried to explain what happened he told he doesn't speak English so he hang. Can really say much about the hotel but the experience with check-in, the communication with the manager, the applications used and how their work (or better don't work) was terrible. I'm still waiting for my refund, I hope it will go smooth as a charge back will take much longer. To be honest the expectation is low already. In the end it's had to book another hotel in dresden (40m drive away).
I didn't have the chance to stay in the property as the check-in process failed on the spot.

United StatesIf you don’t have a car and carry luggage, climbing up or walking down the almost 175 stairs in the woods, and no elevator inside the hotel, it’s NOT fun…. This hotel needs using regular key to open or lock the door. I didn’t lock it after I walked in the room, somehow the door opened itself later. The breakfast time starts at 8am, not like regular hotel 6 or 7am. We need to catch early train, plus the stairs, so we can’t have a nice breakfast there. We paid €137 without breakfast, it’s a little bit pricey. After I asked, the staff was nice to prepare the to-go breakfast for us, we were thankful for that!
Nice quiet location for enjoying the beautiful nature. Super helpful and friendly staff and the hotel let us to change the date because our flight was delayed. Clean room and nice natural decoration!

United KingdomWe liked to have access to a range of drinks and a kitchen in the common area However, we felt that the prices charged were high, equivalent to restaurants - but with no service as we help ourselves and write down what we consume.
The common areas are very nice, the staff are helpful and efficient, an honour bar is available, and the breakfast is good. The location is very good, if you want to relax, walk and keep fit (going up from the village is a real workout). The rooms are relatively small and simple but are comfortable.
