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.).

BulgariaOverall cleanliness was very unpleasant. The property at all is worn out. The restaurant was not prepared to provide us some options from the menu.
The value for the service with nice parking option was fine. The rooms (houses) are quiet big and comfort for one or more days stay. The staff was kind and supportive. There was renovation to the garden outside ongoing.

RomaniaAbandoned objects all over the complex (chairs, tables, kids toys for garden etc), inside is old furniture, old doors, you could not close them because of some flood before, I don't know, the sockets from upstairs are not safe to use, they just hang out from the wall... Regarding the restaurant I was disappointed that I asked the lady from the reception where is the restaurant and she showed me the direction but there was no employee there at almost 11am, I looked for them all over the place although before the check-in I received a message telling us that the restaurant is open from 10am to 10pm, on the restaurant door it was written "11am to 10pm". We check-out closer to 11am just to eat there and leave, but the lady from the reception didn't tell me that the restaurant wasn't even open. Later we found out that it was Unification day in Bulgaria and it was very hard to find an open restaurant in Sofia. We left the city 3 hours after we scheduled to leave, but that's it so communication is not a plus here...
Clean room, clean bathroom, clean bedsheets and towels, we liked the back garden for our dog, I liked that we arrived later than the check-in time and we got the keys from the security and we parked the car in front of our room

North MacedoniaSome broken things were not repaired, for example, it was very hard to close and lock the front door, also, the door leading to the living room was often getting stuck due to an unscrewed board beneath the door
There wasn't a problem with a late check-in, the private parking was huge, large rooms. We traveled with a dog, so there was a private garden connected to the back side of our room where we could walk the dog. We visited in winter, so the heating was turned on before we arrived - the rooms were warm when we entered the accommodation. However, there was no heating in the bathroom

ColombiaThis was really a one night stop, and we looked for a place near Sofia and especially one that was pet friendly, so we don't have complains but not sure how will be for longer stays. Big apartment, no kitchen, good parking place, late 80´s early 90´s design, but clean, silent, small backyard.

Romaniathe worn down feeling of everything... no breakfast/dinner option at the time of our journey
although it is clear that the place has seen better times, it is ok for one-two nights. The staff was really helpful! really quiet, not so far from the center (by car), but easy to get to it when you want to stay close to the highway on your road to Greece. we stayed at one of the villas, huge space available, but everything had the feeling of worn down. stains on the wall, broken chairlegs, these kind of stuff. no restaurants nearby or in the complex, so you'll need to order or get into town by taxi or something.

United KingdomConstruction noise from very close by. There is no English translated menu by the pool restaurant. Place is absolutely falling apart, unkept, and not maintained to any standard. It's not even a 1 star hotel. There was no air-conditioning in one of our two bedrooms during 35C temperature. There are literally too many other things to list. We felt completely conned by unwarranted positive reviews for this horrible accommodation.
Nothing, the place was so dismal and depressing we absolutely had to leave after only 1 night of a 3 night booking.

United KingdomThis is the second time I visit Gloria Palace and the first time, the place was filthy and I thought it was just my flat. I requested for the hoover as I didn't want to put pressure on the cleaner or anyone else there, so I cleaned the flat myself. I hoovered and had to wipe the couch in the living-room downstairs as it was soaked with people's sweat through the period of different people staying in there. It's very easy, the temperatures get as high as 40c, the sofas being leather, people sweating that leather soaks all of it and it stinks, well it was worst the second time, not just the couch but the whole flat. I requested for the downstairs of the flat to be cleaned, hadn't seen the second floor in daylight, and they were nice to clean it, but just hoover. It was so dusty and dead bugs and flies all over the place. I don't think that people should request for the flat to be cleaned, it's pure common sense for a business to check its assets before they're rented to the next person and/or people, but not here. It feels like people don't care. Not much has been invested into these flats I'm guessing since they were built as they're falling apart. Leaking bathroom sinks, leaking shower cubicles, moldy ceiling tiles and broken bits and pieces. I thought that this would of been just the first flat I rented the first time, but no, this is the way they operate at Gloria Palace. It could be such a lovely place, but it needs work and attention. The other very irritable issue that I experienced this time is that, the hotel or club has a restaurant for the hotel/club, but they had booked a wedding or a birthday for the whole of the 3 days that I was there pretty much that restaurant was off limits for hotel customers.
The size of the place. It's very big and cheap for the price, but it's very dirty and it doesn't feel like its worth it. The garden was nice and very green.
