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.).

HungaryIt’s not that I didn’t like it but it’s just a comfort thing: it was quite warm in the upper floor so the room felt very warm. Thankfully the air was nice and cool outdoors so I could leave the windows open.
The location is great, I loved the castle-like look and design. One could sense the people who lived there in the past, for the design and the decoration was very authentic. The staff was very nice and friendly, they were polite even though I arrived there very late.

SlovakiaThis was our second time and we did get room in the attic which is more modern style and smaller. Felt a bit claustrophobic and lost the sense of the historical feeling of the whole building.

AustriaWe were a little bit disappointed by the food: The barbecue (only saturday) is quite expensive considering what is offered. Especially the breakfast (in the cellar for some reason) was meager for a 4-star-hotel.
Very beautiful room, hotel and surroundings. The staff was helpful, nice and polite, the spa is small, but enjoyable.

AustraliaIt is a fair distance from the town centre and the surrounding area is not overly attractive and without shops or restaurants, so it is a bit of an island in effect. I could be wrong, but didn’t see any air conditioning, not that it was needed when were there
As the name says, it is a repurposed palace. This gives the rooms a scale and grandeur. It also has a beautiful chapel. It is set in midst of the old estate so is surrounded by acres of gardens and paths and is on a hill overlooking the city and surrounding mountains. The restaurant was good. We didn’t visit the spa.

CyprusI booked the room online at 5pm arrived at 20 and they gave me a cold room. The heating was off! End of January! When complained to the reception I was told to turn it on myself, I said do not know, she came to turn it on and said will be warm in a while. I had a full cold night. I came to rest and left sleepless. When complained to the account manager in the morning instead of sorry and any compensation was said to ask for a different room next time. Why I was not given a warm room from yesterday then? Really dissapointing
The palace is beautiful

CanadaFor this price, there is no other hotel which has all the facilities excluded from the price. Paying extra for pool and saunas or even for billiard is not very customer friendly approach. I travel a lot and I've never seen this in any other hotel which features such facilities. I also didn't appreciate that the first room which was offered had a very strong smell (chemical, not or building smell). We accepted a cheaper and smaller room but there was no reimbursement. Some staff was not very friendly.
Location and the hotel are beautiful

Czech RepublicOur room had several issues with quality (e.g. non-working tv, non working toilet flushing button, dirty cups, no cups for drinking tap water, one liquid (without any sign on it) to be used as shampoo and shower gel, no body lotion etc.). Breakfast was really a disaster. Such a steal for 15 EUR per persona. Plus, the breakfast is not accessible by disabled or strollers (only stairs, no lift). Clear and honest feedback was given to reception where it seemed rather unaccepted because there was a reason for everything.
The common areas are like in a museum. Amazing. The dinner we had was great, staff was amazing. Also the surrounding garden is wonderful.
