Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaDesign to be improved: our room was on the top floor and I kept hitting my head on the angled ceiling. Lights need dimmers. Room service delivery was quoted to 30 E. Not reasonable.
History, location and and an amazing library. Good breakfast. An interesting sound system. A very good dinner in the restaurant. Recommended. Great infinity pool.

Absolutely stunning castle and grounds. Even though the weather was poor, we had a fantastic time exploring the castle and the beautiful decor, architecture, and history. We had a lovely dinner in the front yard overlooking the town of Bolzano. We met some other guests who had said they’ve been coming for years. Would absolutely come here again!!

United StatesThe food in the restaurant was great, good quality gourmet dishes nothing wrong with the service either. The kitchen was really slow, unacceptably slow. We would likely have eaten there more than once but two hours for dinner is just too long.
Absolutely beautiful! The antiques and history of the place was amazing. Breakfast was great! Lovely grounds also.

NorwayEverything was 100% perfect.
The most amazing place I have ever stayed at. I am so glad we found this hotel. We considered staying in the center of Bolzano to be close to all the shops and restaurants, but were very glad we ended up here. If you have ever wondered how it would be to stay in a medival castle, then you've come to the right place. A perfect experience from the moment we arrived. They upgraded us to a huge suite without us requesting it, which was absolutely stunning. The castle itself sits on top of a hill with beautiful views all over the valley down to Bolzano. Bolzano is just a 15 minute drive from the castle, but I recommend visiting the local town as well as this was far more cozy and no tourists. The breakfast buffet is all you can ask for. I spend over 100 nights a year in a hotel, and this is by far one of the best I´ve ever had. The infinity pool is stunning and the views from the pool deck is out of this world. Take time and enjoy and aperitif at the bistro & bar in the backyard and make sure to try their on site restaurant. When you are seated at the breakfast or dinner table, you will feel like a king or queen in the midst of a beautifully decorated medieval village. I do hope I can come back to this lovely place sometime in the future.

CroatiaWe booked only a few hours before arriving and the room was just a little bit small. However, we slept perfectly. I have no complaints at all, but will book in advance next time!
Every single thing about this hotel is outstanding. The sense of arrival is magnificent, jaw dropping, the hotel is beautiful, the history, the design, the very clever conversion to a hotel, the service was just perfect. We were staying over as part of a long journey, but really didn't want to leave. This is a hotel we would love to revisit, to bring some books, stay a few days, enjoy the tranquility, take a seat in one of the many nooks and crannies perfectly set up for chilling out. I can't think of a better place to rest and relax at. We enjoyed every single minute, but the moment that really stood out was breakfast in the cloister on a lovely sunny morning with the sunlight streaming throught the vines, a superb breakfast, truly taken at leisure. We could have stayed in that moment for hours.
