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.).

AustriaEven though the overall impression is very good, there are a few things to mention / improve: There are no balconies at any of the rooms; There is no outdoor nor sport swimming pool; A drying rack was only in one of 2 rooms we booked; The spa towels were not changed once for our stay (if we asked, they would probably change it, but the cleaning staff never did it)
Great selection of food, own beach, very stylish rooms and hotel interior. The price was very reasonable and worth every cent for the stay

HungaryI cannot really complain anything. Maybe there are 2 things to mention: a.) We did not use air condition as we have had our accommodation in March, but for some reason the room was always quite warm in the morning - while outside there was not even 10 Celsius. b.) one of the elevator was not working (out of 4) and when there are lot of people in the hotel 4 elevators are not enough during dinner time. And that means that 3 were even worse... these 2 things can maybe bit improved but the hotel is really great. I would recommend it.
The hotel is renovated and was equipped well. It is quite close to the lake Balaton and to the small city center. You can park your car in dedicated parking place within the hotel area (for extra charge) or close to the hotel on the road. The bed was really comfortable. We have enjoyed the wellness area and especially the Sauna Seance (event). There are 4 different types of saunas and one steam bath. Pools are relatively big but unfortunately you do not have a chance to swim. Food is fantastic. There were always more options and the chef is cooking really well (we had breakfast and dinner).

Everything is great. Food, great selection and everything was delicious, both breakfast and dinner. The spa is excellent, the pool looks smaller in the pictures, but it is quite large, it consists of two parts for adults and one part for children. Excellent saunas, steam bath, there is always plenty of ice in the saunas. The room is smaller but very clean, bathroom without a single stain, bathrobes, towels. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (my husband speaks Hungarian, and I speak English, it's interesting that the staff everywhere remembered that and spoke to us in those languages). Cafe on the roof of the hotel with a great view. All recommendations. We will certainly be guests again.

PolandThe dinner offer was rather poor, drinks were charged extra. Most people use sauna in swim suit. Some employees speak very little English (e. g. in dinner restaurant on -1 level), but as I started learning Hungarian it was a good advantage to practice it :)
Fantastic, modern hotel, our room on the 11th floor offered amazing view to Lake Balaton. Saunas are nice (there are 5 different), the Finnish sauna was really hot. The breakfast was very tasty and with great selection of products. The masseurs in SPA were really nice and my skin was so soft and smooth after the treatment! The neighbourhood is also very quiet in February and you can really find your peace in Balatonalmádi! During our stay there were almost only Hungarian guests which I see rather as advantage :)

HungaryThe elevator capacity/system is bad, it takes forever to be able to take an elevator and get from one floor to another which is not good for a 13 floor building (potentially with suitcases). However it is the only negative we can say.
The skybar is beautiful and the cocktails are delicious! Breakfast and dinner have a nice variety and are very good as well! Live music in the hall after dinner was also nice.

LuxembourgThe following are just comments on what could be improved - we really liked our stay and would come again for sure! - We only stayed for two nights and did not ask for the room to be cleaned, however the cleaning staff took two of our towels away (there were not thrown on the floor) and did not replace them, so we had to go to the reception to ask for new ones. - As mentioned in other reviews, sometimes you need to wait a long time for the elevator. Once we took it from the 8th floor down to the ground floor and were "stopped" mid-journey by staff who wanted to take it as well but did not fit in anymore - the young employees just rolled their eyes and sighed - we understand they are simply trying to work but it was a bit unprofessional ;) - The beds were too soft for my taste but other family members accommodated in other rooms liked them. - If I'm being really picky, I would welcome fresh fruit juices for breakfast and dinner, and not only those "artificial" tasting ones from the machines :) - The price of the room was surprisingly high for what I'd expect in Hungary, which just makes me wonder how many locals could afford this hotel, but it is justified by the high quality of services and amenities and by the high tourist season.
Pretty much everything was amazing. - We were all positively surprised by the breakfast and dinner options. Great buffet tables. We simply do not understand the negative reviews about the food at this hotel - there was so much to choose from that you have to be really picky not to like anything :D - The private beach for hotel guests is a great touch, the spa/wellness (sauna, pool) was very nice, too. Extra towels and bathrobes in the closet. - Lots of parking space and easy to access. - Most of the staff seemed friendly, kind and professional. - Nice views from the hotel room - we had family members accommodated on both sides of the hotel (8th floor) and everyone had (at least a partial) lake view, so if you want to go cheaper, skip the extra for a "lake view room" ;)
