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.).

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Casa Maria. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable — truly a home away from home. Each morning began with a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast that catered to a variety of tastes. It was the perfect way to start the day and clearly made with care and attention. What truly sets Casa Maria apart, though, is the host. Warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, they went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. Their genuine hospitality made a lasting impression. I wholeheartedly recommend Casa Maria to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Five stars all around!

IsraelThe shower was a bit small, and the lower level of the apartment could use a sink to wash dishes, and maybe a couch/sofa. But really this is nitpicking, it's a great place.
Super nice host. Beautiful place, set in a quiet corner of Simon village. The apartment we stayed at was nice and clean, with lots of space. The outside courtyard was also beautiful and great for hanging out. I would definitely stay here again!

United Kingdom-
The vast landscape of the Southern Carpathian’s is complemented by the intimate indoors of Casa Maria. The rooms are furnished with sturdy and original wooden fittings along with crisp white laced bed sheets. This classical style is homely yet has an openness which demonstrates the attention to cleanliness throughout the room. Warm notes in the air welcome you on arrival, as well as the enthusiasm of Maria herself. The breakfast and dinner she provides are not only quality in terms of taste but also plentiful, leaving you thoroughly satisfied. After having originally booked to stay for a single night, it quickly became apparent we wished to stay longer. This was too the case with other guests we spoke to. The outdoor area has many spots for you sit whilst sipping your morning coffee amongst the encompassing woodlands and tweeting birds. We were fortunate be able to bask in the sun, though there are also places with shelter. Thoroughly recommended!

HungaryThere is no kitchen in the appartment. The stairs are very steep and narrow in the appartment - could be dangeruos with small kids. The design of the bathroom is not very preactical.
Amazing! Anna Maria, the host is super kind and helpful, waiting for us with a big smile and home made sweets. We had fresh and abundant breakfast, and dinner with home made and local food - frest, tasty and yummie. The are cows, chickens and playground - heaven for the kids. The air is fresh as the place is located in the valley. The beds are comfortable, we had a great sleep!

RomaniaIt's very hard to find something to write in the downside section, but maybe I can mention that I felt a bit like in a small museum and was afraid to touch the old furniture which looked very nice.
The host is a lovely person and is trying very hard to make everyone feel exceptional. Everything was sparkling clean. Breakfast was very very tasty. The garden looked amazing and there was plenty of space in the garden to hang around, have a coffee, a glass of wine, or just spend quality time in this amazing natural heaven corner.
