How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation was good. It was quiet& comfy.
We did not like many rules about breaking stuff+ prices we would be obliged to pay! That was insane.
Thank you Ivica for your feedback. We are sorry if our house rules felt too strict. They are simply a standard accommodation policy, meant to protect both our guests and the property in case of damage or loss. In practice, these rules do not affect guests who enjoy their stay in a normal way. We are glad you appreciated the quiet environment and comfort. Klaudia Podlesanka

Verified reviewGreat place for short stays! We were traveling with our dog for the first time and everything was amazing! Girl wo met us was very sweet and polite. Loved it here + very huge plus for the one and only working bar on the first floor there. If you want to feel like traveler not a tourist - this place is 10\10

Verified reviewWhat a lovely place! The room was spacious, bed was comfy and all other facilities at your convenience. Nice and quiet location right next to a grocery store. Klaudia was an excellent host, very kind.
Everything was good, if I was to add anything, I think it would be handy to have a little shampoo/ hair shampoo in the bathroom if possible.

Verified reviewSuperb location steps away from the train station to access most trailheads. The kitchen included all the basic amenities - salt, sugar, oil, even honey! This is often overlooked by property owners but it's such an important detail. Very quiet surroundings. Great value for money. Free parking! Klaudia, the owner, was very forthcoming and accomodating. I doubt I'll ever look for a different place when traveling to Vysoké Tatry again.

Verified reviewThe appartement is well situated, 3 min walk from the train station. Kitchen is fairly equiped. A supermarket is literally at the next door. And the rooms are cozy, they got a balcony and some rooms have view on the mountains.
The current host is terribly unpredictable and aggressive, one moment he acts fine and courteous, the other he is stressed out and agressive towards customers. At reception the host acted cold but courteous and attentive best he could, despite only speaking Slovak and Hungarian and very limited, broken English. He named a few good spot to eat and said quiet time is 22.00 - 06.00. The second day we got back hungry, unexpectedly late from a hike around 2130, as most restaurants close at 2200 I went to bake a few pancakes as quickly as I could, as I didn't understand or read from the host cooking was not allowed close to quiet time. When it got 22.00 I went super stealth mode, not even making a sound, despite that no customer rooms are near the kitchen. At 22.03 as I was baking the last pancakes the host (who is not the owner of the pension) stormed into the kitchen being very frustrated and told me in intimidating manner: "quiet time no cook!!" I was very respectful and calm and tried to explain in English how I didn't know it was not allowed to cook during quiet time and that I would clean up now. The guy exploded and agressively screamed (during quiet time); "This no hotel you want cook at night pay 200 euro night for hotel not here", then he proceeded with this way of speaking to me in a language I did not understand. He physically pushed me out of the doorway we were standing in to close the door after he said with a threatening "tone 5 minutes!!"(I think he meant this was the time I had to clean and be gone). I didnt have the budget to go elsewhere so I just complied without protest after he did this to me. I rushed to quickly handwash all the dishes and already threw away the remaining batter when he came back in and said "ok ok cook but quiet". Probably because he understood he very much crossed a line verbally and physically. I didnt have the money to go elsewhere so I just complied.

Verified reviewGreat Location, price to value ratio, silent and calm atmosphere, comfy beds, grocery shop downstairs (with limited opening hours in the weekends), very nice view from the balkony and helpful staff. Koliba Tatry, the restaurant recommended by the host was pretty good, with fast service and decent meals, however the servers seemed pretty stolid. They did not seem to enjoy what they were doing in a pretty spectacular way.
Such a shame we couldnt say goodbye to the host, because our early departure. We did not find him. Keep up the good work regardless!
