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 KingdomNothing, except that the below level walking route from the station to the hotel is best avoided during the hours of darkness - it doesn’t feel safe due to the number of people sleeping rough. We found the best way from the station to the hotel was to walk across from the main concourse and cross the road/tramway.
Excellent location if travelling by train - only a couple of minutes walk away from the station. Easy 35 minute walk into the city centre (St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral)

IsraelThe room looked old badly decorated, not clean enough. We found the torn rug in the bathroom - a bit strange in the Best Western chain hotel which we know from other places in Europe. The location is not nice and the access to the restaurants and attractions is about 20-25 minutes walking. The value doesn’t match the comfort at all.
The staff is nice the breakfast - average, the bed comfortable

United KingdomVery convenient for Sofia central railway station. The friend I was with had stayed here before (and had booked before me), so it was recommended to me. Good English spoken at reception. Good buffet breakfast, with usual range of food (including some hot items). I was able to leave my luggage at reception after check-out until I was leaving the city late in the afternoon.

SpainI stayed for only one night because I had a connecting flight in Sofia, but I can say that, overall, the hotel was quite good. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was decent. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the train station and the metro. I managed to reach the airport easily and catch my flight on time without any issues.

United KingdomIt is not in the centre of town and we had to walk a bit, but we were ok as the location near the bus station made it convenient for us travel to Plovdiv and Skopje.
We had a nice welcome to the hotel and excellent inputs from the person at the reception. The excellent Hadjidraganov's Houses Restaurant is just 700m away. The bus stand is just around 5 min away and was very convenient for us as we used the bus from the airport and took the buses to Plovdiv and Skopje from here. All the attractions were within a 30 min walking distance. We got to see the most wonderful sunrise from our room which was on the 5th floor facing the bus stand.

United KingdomThe smoking was really bad on the floor I was staying on. The smell was coming into my room. When I mentioned this when I checked out, I was brushed off by the receptionist as this is normal. If the hotel rooms are no smoking, then why is there smell of cigarettes smoke in my room and in the corridor.
Hotel is good price for its location. You can the tram into the city centre. The rooms are decent. Overall, good value.
