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.).

CyprusThe toilet was unusually high, which might be uncomfortable for some guests. Although the breakfast items were fresh, they were not replenished often, leading to some shortages. The beds were not particularly comfortable, and the pillows were even less so.
The guesthouse is located in a nice, quiet area close to the center of Melk’s old town. Check-in was easy, following Bianca’s clear instructions. The room was decent — not very spacious, but suitable for three people. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped, with all the essentials such as toiletries and towels. Breakfast was satisfactory, with fresh products. Overall, we recommend this accommodation for a short stay of 1–2 nights.

United KingdomNothing – everything was perfect!
We loved the peaceful location just a short walk from the Melk Abbey. The view over the orchards was stunning, especially during sunset. The room was cozy, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully decorated. Breakfast was homemade, with delicious local jams (especially the apricot!). The hosts were incredibly welcoming and shared great tips for hiking and dining in the area.

In a quiet neighbourhood just a few minutes off the Danube River bike path. We enjoyed the plate of fresh Wachau apricots in our room. Our hostess gave a great recommendation for dinner (Pasta e Pizza) which was a short walk from the guesthouse. We sipped complementary coffee on the morning on the patio.

AustraliaPension Marillenhof is very well located, under 5 minutes walk to the old town of Melk and close to food stores. Bianca our excellent host prepared a lovely breakfast - poached egg, selection of toasts, cheeses and meat as well as cereal and fruit. Access to the room was easy as we had the unit at the side where we could come and go freely. Bianca communicated promptly and clearly with us as we travelled from Salzburg. Excellent value.

United StatesWe liked everything and would have stayed for a whole month if we had the time!
We loved Pension Marillenhof! Our host was so nice and friendly and stayed in touch with us and gave us instructions for all the things we needed and answered our emails when we had questions. The pension is charming and nicely decorated in Austrian style, which we loved. Our room was large, comfortable, and quiet, and of course, the typical Austrian super clean and well-arranged. There were other rooms next to ours and the breakfast area was adjacent to our room, but we heard absolutely nothing. The pension is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within a short walking distance of downtown Melk and the abbey. On our walks to downtown Melk, we loved walking through the beautiful cemetery that's on the hill on the way. The breakfast was wonderful with lots of homemade goodies and healthy choices of breads, cheeses, and meats, and of course, homemade apricot (marillen) jam! This was a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Melk.
