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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesNothing.
Best hotel experience I've ever had. The owner was extraordinarily kind. She bakes bread from dough made by a local company, and has a wonderful spread for breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you would need to enjoy your time in the Alps. I didn't want to leave for the next leg of my trip. Just a truly wonderful experience.

United StatesI’ve never been to a nicer hotel, on any continent. I’ve also never had a nicer host who made me feel like I’m a part of her family for the duration of my stay. Breakfasts are fantastic, the rooms are comfortable (there’s the calming sound of a stream running behind the hotel), and the hotel is located in the center of one of the most beautiful towns on Earth. I will return.

LithuaniaThere were a few negatives. Sound insulation from outside is great, but from inside it was really, really, poor. Especially from the next door neighbours bathroom, to such an extent that could tell what sort of business they are doing in the bathroom....You probably get the point, that was a bit too much. And also bathroom looked a bit dated. Also no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms, although there was an option to get hot tea or coffee from the machine downstairs - obviously for an additional price though. Also, bed was rather soft and my back did not like it. These would be main negatives, but for this price you cannot really expect a 5 star hotel. Still regard accommodation and stay as positive and these negatives did not spoil the whole impression of the property.
Great location, close to town centre, close to main bus hub and train station is not that far away. However, it is in quiet location away from all the noise. There is a stream running next to the property, my windows faced it, but windows are double glazed, so absolutely no noise from it. I also received mobility/guest card as part of reservation. Host was very welcoming, I was able to store my luggage before my check in time in advance. Also, buses to Schmittenhöhebahn run right past the property, you only need to walk a couple hundred meters to bus stop, and cityXpress is also hundred or so meters away. Again, great location.

on quieter side of Zell am See but very close to cityxpress cable car station and bus 71 station which going to other 3 cable car stations operating in summer time. Window view of the top of mountain Schimittenhöhe, beautiful sunset view of the mountain. flowers draped over the balcony railing, which is exactly what I dreamed of a Alpine hotel/chalet. The breakfast room is with a lot alpine traditional decorations. Anni, the host is lovely and welcoming.

Czech RepublicCoffee should be stronger!
The location of this traditional pension is perfect. It is localized not so far from the city center, but far enough to maintain absolute “soul refreshing” quietness. Actually the only background noise you will hear is a sound of a wild rivulet flows behind the house. And as always it is all about host and here you have host worth 11 stars out of 10. It was great and lovely stay for me and I hope I will came back.

United StatesVery basic breakfast: it’s not about quantity but quality of breakfast items. Very weak coffee. From room description, I knew that the room would be small and there would be no fridge or kettle in the room. Now I know I prefer places that have a fridge and kettle. My dear fellow Americans, be warned that my room was on the second floor with no elevator with steep stairs up. Those of you on a larger side or with mobility impairment may have difficulties here. The shower is designed for slim and short people. Also watch out for height clearance when leaving the room. I hit my head few times.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
Anna and her family are very welcoming and made me feel comfortable straight away. My room and bed were excellent and even had a nice balcony. Breakfast again was superb, and Anna made sure I had everything I wanted. There is a nice honesty system in place where you can get beers or soft drinks from the fridge at anytime. Anna was also helpful with her knowledge of the area and places to visit. I travelled by motorcycle and my motorbike was nice and secure parked in their private parking area. The location is also very good and very close to the centre, an easy walk but not so close you hear any noise. I would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you Anna and family, all the best.

RomaniaI honestly believe that this is one of the most amazing places we’ve stayed at, and it took us completely by surprise. Pension Alpenrose is one of the few places where the hosts took care of every little detail, and this is why staying here is such a wonderful experience. The breakfast is very nice, the bathroom very clean, the balcony with a nice view of the mountains, and there is even a small river flowing very close to the property. All these come with the most friendly host we’ve ever stayed at (I mean it), and it’s a 200 m walk to the cityXpress that takes you to the Schmittenhöhe. The place even comes with its own sauna. I mean, if these things haven’t convinced you, I feel like nothing will.
