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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

South AfricaI put one of our bags on top of the wardrobe in the bedroom to get it out of the way, and then when I needed it and brought it down I found it was covered in about a centimetre of fluffy dust that took me almost half an hour to clean it all off! I suggest the hotel have their cleaning staff clean the tops of the wardrobes on a regular basis.
Our room and ensuite bathroom were compact but very well equipped and very comfortable, and the lounge area was big and also comfortable. The provision of a kettle, fridge and microwave were very much appreciated, and we were able to borrow plates and cutlery from the hotel. It was just a short three block walk to the Vitosha pedestrian only area and all the shops, restaurants and parks nearby. The staff were extremely helpful and the aircon worked very well. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Although the hotel is right in the middle of the city it was amazingly quiet and we did not even hear any noises from outside, so we slept extremely well. A Metro station was a short walk away.

I loved everything about the property except that they don’t have a dedicated parking lot. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is really good and close to everything you’d need.

United Statesnothing really to add here
My friend and I needed a place to stay for a night before heading to the Sofia airport for our rental car, and we needed a place close to the center so we still get to explore a bit. This hotel is in the perfect location for that, just a couple of minutes from Vitoshka street with access to restaurants, stores, and sights. The staff was super welcoming during check-in and check-out, offering to call us a taxi and asking clarifying questions as to what kind of taxi we'd like (for example, one where we can pay by card). Breakfast options were standard - we mostly appreciated having breakfast as an option. For one night, the room was perfect.

United Arab EmiratesSmall disappointment that the restaurant at the hotel was closed while we were there. We had chosen the hotel partly because it had a garden restaurant, which sounded nice during the summer. Unfortunately, it was closed (except for breakfast).
Good, basic 1 bed suite with comfortable bed and the minimum facilities we needed. It was nothing fancy but was very quiet, clean, comfortable and cool, so exceeded all our needs. It was nice to have a little more room to spread out and relax in, after several weeks of pretty tiny hotel rooms. Staff were very helpful, the included breakfast gave us fuel for long days of sightseeing, and the location was good, a short walk to most of the places we wanted to go. The area was interesting, with a lot of restaurants, bars, shops and interesting buildings and parks. It felt safe and we had no issues or problems. The hotel organised airport transfers and all was smooth and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others.

United KingdomNo AC or fan, given the temperatures in summer this was extremely surprising and would have made for an uncomfortable stay had we not been travelling with our own mini fans. The staff were at best indifferent, with the exception of an older gentleman (whose name I missed), who engaged us and made us feel very welcome; the other staff were far less interested in speaking to us, even when we checked in. There is a voucher given on check-in for the restaurant next door, unfortunately we found this restaurant to be extremely over priced - it would have been cheaper to have drinks from the fridge mini bar in the room! Don’t fall into the trap, there are plenty of other restaurants and bars minutes walks away which are far more reasonable. There were ants around the bathroom doorway which inevitably found their way into the main room occasionally as well.
Good location, clean room with good amenities including private bathroom, mini fridge and TV. Breakfast was varied and nice with a good selection of foods and drinks available in a self-serve buffet style.

IndiaOnly thing which the hotel can improve is the variety in breakfast. For the 4 days we stayed, we had exactly same type of breads for the breakfast and even fruits. It will be great if hotel can incorporate local breads and dishes in the breakfast which will help a tourist to get a taste of local delicacies.
Excellent location. It is just a few mins walk from the main happening place in Sofia, Vitusha Boulivard and also tram and metro stations. We had a very good room with facilities like microwave, refrigerator and a good bathroom. Bed and pillows were very comfortable
