Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaI cannot rave enough about this property!!! Our stay here was magical and extremely relaxing. The staff is very accommodating. The property is very stylish, to the tiniest details. It reminded me of the old British country domains with manicured green spaces. I particularly appreciated the effort to preserve and be non-intrusive to nature. Everything here is straight out of a fairytale. We spent a romantic evening by the burning fireplace in our room, candel lights over a wonderful glass of wine. This is a great way to pamper yourself!!!

CanadaDinner was okay, but not amazing for the price. Breakfast was much better (although an extra cost).
Zabola Estate is a gorgeous property with a lot to offer. My husband and I stayed here for one night only and wished we had stayed longer. We chose the Yellow Room, which had a fireplace and double shower with a view over the pond. It is the perfect little getaway for couples. The grounds are beautiful to walk around - the ponds, stables, castle, and there are hiking routes around the property. A relaxing, magical place to stay.

MoldovaWe missed the salads, greens mixes in the menu. The only option was Cezar salad. And the risotto from buckwheat was kind of a strange dish. The duck breast, chicken liver and chicken grilled breast were excellent.
The property itself, The atmosphere, the nature, the quitness, birds singing. Amazing! And 4 friendly labradors :)

RomaniaI knew about this place for a while and I thought I might be dissapointed… you know how it is when expectations are too high. But Zabola Estate proved itself to be above the expectations. A lovely place, a hidden gem which I would like to keep it only for myself. We had a perfect stay. A place in the middle of nature, which transports you back in time. I loved everything: the sorroundings, the rooms, the restaurant, dogs… loved it! And for sure we will come back. Thank you for the great experience!

RomaniaWhile I very much enjoyed the company of the four labradors, I was disheartened to notice that some of them had ticks. I managed to remove a few ticks from them, but a thorough check is necessary. Given that it's tick season, I hope the dogs receive the necessary care promptly to ensure their well-being.
I loved the whole outdoor atmosphere. It was classy, peaceful, cool spots to chill with a glass of wine, a coffee, or a book. The music was soft and pleasant, well-picked. The rooms were spacious and clean, with vintage pieces of furniture but everything with good taste and attention to the place's history. While the restaurant served excellent cuisine, I found the variety slightly lacking. But for a two-night staying it was alright. The bar was well-stocked, and the coffee was excellent.

RomaniaThough we paid a good amount of money for the stay, there was not a single facility included in this price. Very expensive restaurant (20 euros for a chicken plate with vegetables, with little food range), as well as leisure activities - bike rental was over 15 euros/person/2h. The bedroom (our case the brick room) had spider webs all over the walls and dust on the fireplace shelf. Moreover, the bed sheets were torn.
Location, history, and beautiful landscapes and architecture

RomaniaOne of the most beautiful places and accommodations I've ever stayed at. Everything is exquisite, elegant, super moody and romantic. I really recommend this place for couples on a romantic trip. Spotless customer service, good food (with an Indian-Hungarian twist). There are many activities to choose from (massage, horse riding, taking a walk, etc.), and the surrounding park/forest is really pleasant. I would return here anytime!

RomaniaThe food menu was very limited and the main course is based more on Indian dishes than on Transylvanian ones.
Great location and oustanding experience overall, the domain is spectacular and the 4 Labradors are so friendly

RomaniaThe food served in the restaurant is average, although it is sold at gourmet prices. As Zabola domain is placed in a village, there are no other restaurants nearby, therefore you have to drive 10-15km to either Covasna or Târgu Secuiesc in order to have lunch/diner.
Everything (landscape, accommodation, waiters) except the food in the restaurant.

RomaniaIn our room there was only one waste basket, a small one, in the bathroom. As we were there with our 2.5 year old toddler, we could have used another one in the room. But, to their credit, they did empty it every day and also made up the room, so it was not such a nuisance:-)
The grounds and the rooms are stunning; they transport you to another time, long gone. The food at the on-site restaurant is absolutely delicious and the staff very friendly! The cherry on top are the four black labradors which roam around all day and are clearly having a blast, as well as the horses which are just fantastic:-). We absolutely enjoyed the whole experience!

RomaniaThe following morning as we woke up the room was pretty cold. No matter which room you pay for, breakfast is not included.
It’s like being in a fairy tale- cozy, food is traditional, horse riding activity, everything is antique and authentic, I would highlight out of everything the bathroom and the fireplace. Nevertheless I would highlight Levente, he is professional and most of all he is very kind. He made our stay flawless.

RomaniaZabola is our “secret” place for almost 6 years. We are coming constantly, but this time the main problem was the food. Please do something about it, because the taste and the plate were mediocre to bad and for sure will attract bad feedback in the future. This review is a feedback for Zabola management to improve things as they were 2-3 yaers ago.
As usual Zabola is offering the experience we are looking for: relaxing atmosphere, nice staff.
