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.).

AustraliaThe squeaky floorboards made it impossible to go quietly to the toilet at night. But, this is part of the old-world charm timber parquetry.
This was a spacious room with lots of old-world charm. The host was very accommodating and always available. A substantial breakfast was served downstairs in a cozy room.

Ideally placed, so near to everything that Braşov Old Town offers. Room was spotless, huge bathroom and everything very comfortable. A real bonus was the little courtyard which we used to relax and read, tranquil and beautiful. Breakfast was such a lovely spread served by staff with the attitude that nothing was too much trouble. Very generous portions and great attention to detail. Service amazing, they took real pride!

CyprusThe hotel is located in heart of Braşov, in an old historical house. Only three guest rooms in the hotel. Our room was very nice, spacious, with huge bathroom, high ceilings, antique furniture, and big and comfortable bed. Breakfast ordered by menu in the evening was delicious. We wish we could stay longer! Parking in front of the hotel was 5 euros per day.

PolandThere was no such situation. Everything was fine.
The breakfast was delicious. An explosion of flavor on the taste buds. They could be ordered directly to the room at an hour appropriate for the guest - this is a very big plus. In my opinion, the best service in the world. Mrs. Satine, I have never met such a committed and professional person in a hotel. I hope Mrs. Satine is treated as best as possible by the owners of this hotel.

United KingdomShower didn't really suit the vibe of the room, but still a good shower.
Gorgeous big room, with lovely furnishings and decoration. Parking is on the street, the hotel do have a few spots reserved but failing that there was much more street parking near by - hotel charge 25lei a day parking which is the same as the rest of the steet parking. Breakfast options were provided on a menu and we had to select the evening before what we wanted to have - there were nice choices. Location couldn't be better.

UkraineIt is not related to the hotel, but the trip from the Bucharest to Brasov (about 180 km) was extremely exhaustive and lasted more than 5 hours (but we persistently advise by the way to visit "ETU Pizza and Grill" petroleum station near Breaza - to make a trip more pleasant and to have a tasty dinner!).
The hotel is totally amazing! It has it's own parking and this is really megacomfortable in car-crowded Brasov city! During check-in we got enough compliments from the hotel (especially delicious berries liqour). The room was spacious, clean and warmy. Nice interior, wonderful bathroom with both cabin and very comfortable bathtub. The breakfast was amazing because of tasty dishes and friendly staff. We ordered in the evening three different breakfast options and were totally right, because each of them has its own positive moments. Also you can construct your own breakfast from various menu positions. The hotel is 3 minutes by feet from the very center of the city (the Black Church). Thanks to all the hotel staff, we liked it so much!

New ZealandThere was a bit of confusion about the parking situation - it’s reserved for guests out the front but you have to pay. This is mentioned in their policies but we didn’t notice that and the staff conceded it had been a recent change. Small matter though. Overall excellent, but not cheap.
Very nice villa with a lot of history, in an excellent location a stone’s throw from the main square. Rooms were very comfortable, and breakfast was made to order for us. Small, boutique property with lots of charm.
