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.).

United StatesNo A/C, no elevator. Not uncommon, just something to be aware of. Huge windows mean you may be getting sun in your face at 6 am. Noisy fridge, had to turn it off at night.
Great location for hiking. The parking in the area is rather tight and fills fast so being at the trailhead and having dedicated parking spot is great benefit. The room was clean, had super high ceilings, was nicely decorated, and was well equipped. Few minor things were not in order but they were only noticeable because everything else was great. Hotel interiors are very grand and pleasure to be in. Cannot say anything about hotel restaurant as I had dinner at the restaurant in the castle which I highly recommend because of the fantastic views and great food.

CanadaLovely hotel in the middle of Bohemian paradise - very clean and comfortable rooms, great food in the restaurant (buffet breakfast and 3 course dinners) and great service. All staff at the hotel were friendly, courteous and helpful and we were impressed by the attention to detail (rooms, buffet breakfast, dinner etc). Great scenic location located in the middle of hiking paths enabling us to explore Bohemian Paradise by foot.

AustraliaI did not sleep well because the room was too bright, no blackout curtains and the light curtains they had were not on every windows. At this time of the year, daylight is long. The bed was comfortable and the room adequate, simply the lack of curtains bothered me and stopped me from getting a good night sleep.
The dinner was very good, tasty, fresh and well presented. The staff were good, spoke little English but we managed to order and be served what we wanted. Breakfast was adequate with a simple hot buffet and small selection of cheese, cold cuts, breads and fruits. As the fried eggs were in shaffing dish, I would recommend to cook less of them, more often.

BelgiumOne should know the hotel is one of TWO on top of the Hruba Skala "mountain". The more medieval one is right next door, is bigger, has better views over the reserve and the region. So don't mistake one for the other. Still I would recommend Stekl, for its charm and price/quality. We were lucky with the weather, and whenever we felt like "a view", we went for a drink at the other castle's terrace. Only one thing Stekl could improve: add a few hooks in the bathroom to hang clothes and towels :-)
There is a lot to like about this place: the location right next to the entrance of the Bohemian paradise (do try the Mouse Hole entrance right across the car park; it's one of the best parts of the reserve), the very, very friendly staff, the breakfast buffet being-as-it-should-be, the area, and ... the terrace at the castle next door. Also the hotel itself has this HerculePoirot-like atmosphere - which is very inspiring.
