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.).

The hotel itself is located just outside of the city, making it very quiet and pleasant. There is a fair bit of nature on the premises-plants and trees (the hosts take pride in), turtles roaming freely, hammocks to rest and read books on. The pool in the hotel is clean and well kept, the breakfast is amazing and the service was exceptional. The room we had was on the first floor, elevated by 3 steps. It had a mini fridge/freezer, wardrobe, 2 seater sofa, TV, 2 night stands and a dressing table so overall it was a decent size room with all the things you need. There is a seating area just outside of the room and a lot of tables in the public space of the hotel. The beach is in a short walking distance of 100m. There are lots of beach bars and restaurants on the beach line as well. You can get to a big supermarket on foot (Lidl, about 10min walk) and a bus that runs every hour and connects the outskirts of Sozopol to the city center (the bus stop is located in Lidls parking, behind/next to the shopping trolleys).

BulgariaIt is perfect for people who love peace and quiet. The owners are extremely friendly and responsive. The place is very clean and well maintained. The breakfast they offer is divine. At first we were a little skeptical because of some of the negative reviews, but the owners have already taken care of it. There is now the option to darken your room if you need it and they have provided a shortcut so that you don't have to walk 50 meters along the road, past whizzing cars, to get to the beach. Everything was great, I highly recommend it!

SwitzerlandJust few recommendation, to have the possibility to make the room dark for sleeping. In our apartment where our daughter slept was not possible and there was quite some light coming in. The bed sofa is ok for one or two nights and only for a child, I do not think it is comfortable for an adult. We had a very nice time and these are only recommendations to make it even better!
It is an amazing location, very friendly people, super nice breakfast and the fact you can take drinks at the pool with very good prices is very nice!

United StatesEverything was perfect.
When you arrive at Ancient Well, you are met by the amazingly gracious host, Nadya. Nadya and her husband were easily the best part of staying here. They were so welcoming and kind- they treat you as if you are a member of their own family. They make an amazing breakfast for their guests each morning, and are extremely easy to reach- the host gives you her personal cell number and is quick to fix any issues you may have! The property is a 5-7 minute walk from Kavatsi Beach, and 4-5 minute drive to the center. The hotel room was absolutely beautiful and very spacious, with a nice balcony and roomy bathroom. The property itself is also gated completely, and we felt very secure staying there. The hotel also had a very nice pool! I wish that we could have stayed longer, and would come back specifically just to stay with Nadya as our host. :)

BulgariaBefore even coming to Sozopol, the hosts were super responsive on Booking chat and called us to confirm the time of arrival. During our stay, they were super helpful and ready to support us with any questions. The room itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The pool was also very clean, and the whole garden exterior was very relaxing and pleasant. The brekfasts were delicious, and we even got the chance to try the host's homemade banitza, which was great. Overall, I think this place is a true gem in Sozopol with fantastic hosts and great facilities.

RomaniaThe location is near a main road, but the traffic is light. Also, most rooms have windows towards the sea, away from the road. The beach is near, at about 5 min by foot. We liked very much the excellent organization: the cleaning staff came only when you posted the sign on the door, the food was served almost immediately when we sat at breakfast, we had remotes for the gates etc etc. Overall, a very good establishment and congratulations to Nadia & Spas!
