Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNot the best value for money but it was a weekend and I'm a budget traveller so I'm probably more price sensitive than most. The bit about the shower not having a tray is true, but I’ve travelled extensively in this part of the world and seen it quite a lot in older buildings.
I liked this place. It wasn't up to western hotel standards but I felt welcome and at home. I would stay again

Greecethe worst chair I've ever sit on! A bad thing is that the room is pretty cold so make sure you've brought some extra clothes and also, if there is someone on the hallway you'll be the first to hear it as there is not that much of soundproofing What bothered me the most was (and you can see it on the pictures below) the insects that were ALREADY on the wall before my check in. Not only spiders but this other insect which name I'm missing was originally everywhere in my room, alongside with spider webs, making it hard for me to feel comfy at first. After whipping them out, I still found 2-3 spiders even 3 days after my check in. I don't blame them for the spiders as it's their "Season" but, I blame them for not taking the time (not more than 5 minutes) to clean the walls before allowing me in. It just felt wrong and unfair knowing that I'll live in that room for 1 week. They could have done better preparations.
Exactly what you expect to see on a 1star hotel, nothing more nothing less. Arriving to the hotel, the reception man (probably the owner too?) was very friendly and he showed me my room. At first glance it was a simple room with not much to talk about. A TV that I never used, a small bathroom which did its job, a pretty big bed for 1 guy, small sofa and There are 2 windows meaning that you don't hear much from the noise outside if that's what you're afraid of. Also, they don't enter your room at any time.. Clean sheets (at least from the one side, the side facing the bed had some hair from the people before me but nothing crazy). There are new towels and a soap, you can ask for more and they'll gladly give you. Again, the reception is very very kind and friendly, once of the friendliest guys I've seen in Bulgaria. Last but not least, to leave or to enter the hotel you need to knock on his door so he can lock after you, making it super cringe sometimes. Make sure to avoid eye contact:P. I started feeling guilty for bothering him if I left the hotel more than once, that's on me though as he was still friendly. I give it a 7.5/10. I'd put 6/10 for not paying attention to the spiders/webs/insects that were on my room before my check in but the reception guy made me forget about that with his friendly stance. However, if I had a 10-20% refund (because 26 euro/night was not 100% worth it, it should be more like 20/night) I'd edit the review to 9/10. I highly doubt it though and that's okay👍

NetherlandsWhen you leave you need to leave the key behind and they lock the door, so when you Come back you need to ring the door so they open for you. This makes me feel not completely free, when I went out late, I felt worried the whole time
Its a good hotel that gives you everything you need for a basic stay.

BulgariaEverything! The air conditioner wasn’t working and the staff didn’t do anything to provide us heating. When we arrived at 10pm there wasn’t a hot water and we had to wait around an hour for it. The room wasn’t very clean and there are a broken things in the bathroom. You could hear everything in the corridor- talks, slamming doors etc. The glasses in the room was plastics. We do not think the price is relevant to the conditions!
Only that there was National Geographic on TV.
