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...).

RomaniaThe hotel (rooms, breakfast area, hallways) are very old and have not been refurbished in years. However, the pool area is the most disappointing of all of them - the water is cold, the ceiling is moldy and looks horrible. We tried it once and we never came back. The sauna door doesn't close properly. The breakfast is the same every day, which might be a problem for some, my main problem was the coffee. They are still using instant coffee, i do not understand why. They need to invest a lot of money in the hotel to make it a 4 star hotel as they say it is. It might be good to start with a new coffee maker :) there is actually an espresso machine in the breakfast area, but this coffee is not included, it's extra :(
The hotel has a ski room, shuttle bus to/from gondola, paid parking (15 BGN/day), a nice reception area where you can gather in the evenings next to a fireplace. The rooms are ok, we had plenty of hot water and heating. The staff is nice and helpful.

A special thank you to Ms. Velicha, who went above and beyond to accommodate all my requests and needs with professionalism and a warm smile.

SpainI have limited mobility and the two sets of two stairs were a bit tricky but I managed them. But it was an overnight stay. We would go again as there was a lift for some of the internal interior,just not all.
It was lovely and cosy and warm. It had lovely views from the balcony of the garden and distant snow capped mountains.The restaurant was nice and good value and the breakfast good. It was also not too far from the Central Bus station .Staff were very good.

GreeceWhat is missing from the living room /common area of the hotel is a friendly place for people to hang out and relax after all day near the fireplace (we had to move every time tables and sofas near the fireplace and of course every time we felt judged by the stuff who looked at us weirdly (Of course we put them back again in their position before go to bed) Also, regarding the rooms, it s my first time that the room doesn't have a trash bin apart from the WC bin, as a result we kept our trash on a table for the maids to take them and they didn't. Also the hotel stuff at the reception and the breakfast apart from some exceptions, there were not so kind and smiley. And this is very important to make your guest feel comfortable and have fun.
In general the hotel was ok. The location and the transport to the gondola was accurate and really helpful and the bus drivers nice and helpful. Also the facilities were ok, sauna and pool .the breakfast very satisfying. It's quite good regarding its the price but the most important is the mood and the behavior of the personnel who weren't that kind.

United KingdomThe food wasn’t good enough almost the same every day and was very poor quality and boring presentation. Mattresses are not comfortable and upper one is moving around giving the feeling you will fall down from the bed. The pool is not usable because the water is too cold and that was big disappointment. The receptionist claimed the water is 28 degrees but it was maximum 20 degrees at best. Most of the gym equipment was broken.
Good location. Warm room. The staff is friendly except the lady on the reception. Nice fireplace.

BulgariaThe lady at the reception and the lady in the restaurant were so so nice and accomodated all our requests. I forgot my book at home and the lady at the reception (sorry, I forgot her name) even brought her own books to give me to choose from. Because everyone was skiing, I was very lucky to use the swimming pool for myself. Breakfast was tasty and had homemade banitsa and french toast if you went early enough in the morning. They also had a small fireplace which they lit in the evening as we went in february and was cold, so you can sit next to the fireplace and read a book or just chat with a glass of wine.

Well placed and easy to find. Situated in down town is a pleasure to walk around. There is Spa zona inside with a big swimming pool. Also bakeries around. I enjoyed homemade from “the French guy bakery”, really tasty baguettes and croissants from sourdough ..
