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.).

United StatesThe hotel advertised AC on Booking.com but there was no AC on the first three floors. However, the manager did bring us each a fan to help get us through a very warm night.
Hotel Kuria is a charming, traditional hotel very close to the main square in Banská Bystrica. My party of six stopped there from just one night on our way from Cracow to Budapest, booking three rooms. We enjoyed our brief stay, which included dinner in the attached restaurant. The beds were very comfortable, and the hotel has its own free parking lot, which was a welcome relief after staying in cities where parking is often a bit of a challenge.

AustraliaThe only thing was the climb (with luggage) up to reception and then down again to our room on the 1st floor ! There was a lift for baggage but it only went from the 1st level
The location was perfect - only a short walk to the main square of the Old Town. The hotel itself was full of surprises - like the enormous size of the double room with its domed ceiling and ornate cornices! We could look out towards the castle walls and hear the musical chimes of the clock nearby.

United StatesThe room booked was not the room we initially received. it was much smaller and had no air conditioning. Since it was 95f/35c out, we made certain that our room had a/c, so was disappointed. That said, we went to registration and staff was helpful and understanding and immediately switch our room and rest of stay was fine after that. If you use Booking.com, be sure to message the property to confirm the room you receive.
Perfect location in center with easy parking. Breakfast was basic, but a good value for the price. There was some confusion on the room we selected but was able to change and upgrade to the room we reserved. Other than that, all went well and we likes the historical hotel. Only stayed one night which was perfect for this type of place. While checkout was 10am, we asked in advance of our stay if we could leave the car in the lot until 2pm and they agreed. That was very helpful for us and much appreciated. Staff are registration and breakfast were very nice and helpful. Photos are the view from the window in the room. Can't beat the location!

PolandVery many (often unexpected) steps - also in the bathroom. Quite dark in the evening in the room (very poor led bulbs). Quite poor breakfast - all standard, no extra preparation.
Nice, atmospheric hotel very close to the main square. Interesting local touches both in the rooms and in the corridors.
