How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly and helpful, which we really appreciated. The view and location were great.
However, there was a significant issue with the parking information. It was not mentioned clearly in the booking details that guests must park outside the Old Town and either walk or use a shuttle service to reach the hotel. We were on a longer trip and therefore had multiple pieces of luggage, which made this arrangement quite inconvenient. To make things more difficult, we only received the detailed parking instructions one day before departure. It would be much better if this information were explained clearly in the booking description or sent by email immediately after booking, so guests can plan and pack accordingly.

The bathroom was not cleaned properly. They need to add a fridge in the room for the drinks and food. It’s a humidity place they should add also Air cond or fan.

Verified reviewThis was our favorite place to stay during our entire trip! The host is super sweet and accommodating! She gave us a full explanation of the facility, the town, and things to do (including asking us what we were interested in). The facility sauna and lake access were amazing! We could jump straight off the diving board into deep, clear water. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! I didn't want to leave!
Honestly the only 2 things I could wish for are an oven in our room (even a toaster oven) and AC. Although, even without AC, the hotel stayed relatively cool.

Verified reviewGreat position on the lake, lovely to be able to sit and relax under an umbrella and take a cool dip in the lake especially on a hot day after lots of walking.
More of a suggestion than a dislike, but new (softer) towels and linen would have made this a 10/10.

Verified reviewLoved the use of the sauna and direct access to the lake, in a quieter spot in Hallstatt.
No microwave usage. Found the eating out in the local area hard work and would have appreciated some independent cooking facilities at the property.

Verified reviewGreat location & beautiful views of the lake from our bedroom window. Nice garden area for sun bathing or swimming. Lovely friendly helpful hosts who had our room ready as we arrived a little early. Great communication & information on how to get to the property. Lots of stairs to keep you fit & a beautiful breakfast room with kitchen facilities which we used to make our lunches. A lounge room with large windows & the most incredible view of the lake & where you can also access the internet.

Verified reviewBeautiful setting, with apartment overlooking the lake. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was really helpful & kindly got us some shopping in as we arrived on a Sunday. Also provided maps, summer pass & sightseeing suggestions. Made use of the garden & chairs provided but not brave enough to swim in the lake!
Nothing!
