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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

BulgariaWe loved everything about our stay - the location, the room, the food, and mostly - the host! Anette made our stay very special in every way. I don't think I can find the proper words to describe our experience, I can just say that if you have the chance - you need to stay here! You won't regret it! We also tried the gourmet restaurant - another unforgettable experience, so you should also try it if possible. I hope we get the chance to come back to this lovely place!

United KingdomWe had the restaurant dinner, 6 courses chosen form a menu of about 8, one with a wine pairing. This was our self indulgent holiday treat but by goodness we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Food was unbelievable and the wines..all Austrian,,,were a revelation. The location by the way...awesome.

ChinaToo popular to have a chance of upgrading the room. It should be a good news, however.
At that time, there were two options, and I was very glad that I finally chose this one to stay for two days.

Austriamy only (very small) criticism was that the rooms were very warm, but easily solved by opening a window slightly, so really not an issue. You do need a car to stay here though (which we did). If not driving, I would probably recommend staying in the centre of Zell or Kaprun, but still visit the restaurant if you can :-)
The Hotel setting is amazing, just off the lake and it's a beautiful old building, full of character, but updated with all modern features. The breakfast was great - amazing Omlettes, but also vast choice of many other items to suit most people. The michelin starred Mayer's restuarant linked to the Hotel is just incredible - probably the best dinner I have ever had (it's expensive, but it's worth it). Frau Mayer and her staff are all very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable - ausgezeichnet gastfreundschaft !!

Czech RepublicIt would be good for the fishermen cabin to have wifi for future visits.
Location of the hotel. We stayed at the fishermen cabin and the place is just great for disconnecting and enjoying the lake and Zell am see. The hotel itself has great restaurants, spa for guests and its location is just perfect. Plus the welcoming and friendly hotel staff makes for a memorable experience.

GermanyThe striking point for us was that everything was perfect. We didn't feel that this was just luck, rather the result of a hotel philosophy. Room was outstanding in both form and function. The restaurant excelled with both meals and service. Most strongly, we got the impression that we were not just guests, rather returning family. This was the best hotel we have visited and we will surely return. Extraordinary! Thank-you!

BelgiumVisitors should be warned about the prices applied in the gastronomic restaurant, the only option we had upon arrival. Good quality, but a considerable waiting time; it took three hours for a three-course dinner. Below average value for money.
Location, staff, quality of products, very good breakfast.

This beautiful old castle has many furniture and art pieces from ages gone by, but bathroom and beds were most modern, as was the sauna area. Excellent breakfast buffet. We felt like the lord and lady of the manor. The restaurant serves traditional Austrian food at normal prices.

This is the most beautiful, peaceful, idyllic spot. We rented the 3br suite. It looks absolutely enchanting in the photos but the photos don’t even do it justice. Huge, beautiful bedrooms and the most gorgeous living areas. You will feel like a princess staying here.

It was the most pleasurable stay at Schloss Prielau! We had a blast as a group of 9 people. Annette was always there to help, making sure we were looked after and had a great time. She couldn't have done more for us and she made our stay absolutely perfect! Restaurant at the hotel was great, Mayer's 2 stars Michelin restaurant is a WOW! Rooms are fabulous and very spacious. Beds are so so comfy, I had best nights sleep for ages! All the staff at the hotel were absolutely top class and Annette is a star!
