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.).

RomaniaA little bit harder to navigate there with a car, but actually you should not, it's a walking street, not a car friendly one. Still there's a garage for a few cars if you get there with large luggage and/ore a big family.

RomaniaThe hotel is located on an extremely picturesque street with well-preserved old houses, and the most important thing is the panoramic view of the Yantra River, the city and - in the distance - the monument dedicated to the Assen dynasty. The city center is full of small bars, cafes and restaurants that you can easily reach on foot in 10-15 minutes from the hotel. We ate at the hotel restaurant for the simple reason that it would have been stupid to miss, on a summer evening, a dinner served outdoors, with the gorgeous view I mentioned. The breakfast was excellent, the cold cuts, cheese and eggs were prepared and presented in an attractive way, and the bread was fresh. The room was spotlessly clean, had a fridge and coffee maker, and the bathroom was spacious. The highlight, however, was the balcony overlooking the river valley, decorated with potted flowers. Everything I've written so far leads to one conclusion: whenever we pass through Veliko Tarnovo, we will gladly stop at Hotel Gurko!

RomaniaIt's not in the location's fault but the fact that the location is situated on a pretty narrow street the parking spaces are limited but you can park on the street before turning right. We were lucky to have a space saved for us. It was trickier going out on that narrow street but that it was a beautiful experience
The room was very big. It had an smaller room connected with no doors in between where our child slept. The view is spectacular. You can see The monument of Assana Dinasty. It was very hot outside on our staying but the AC in the room was working perfectly. The bathroom was spacious and had a bath tub. The stuff was very welcoming and helpfull. The breakfast is included in the room price and it was delicious if not a little too much. Coffee, croissant, some sort of cheese pie and this was just the beginning. For our kid they brought a kid breakfast with fruit yogurt, a cockie and a Kinder pingui besides the rest of the food.
