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 AmericaCobwebs around windows and doors need some attention and cleaning under the bed would be good. Would have been nice to have some snacks and food available at breakfast time but not a big deal. Tv needs to be set up to work at all times (we were room 206). I would also suggest larger towels or extra.
We liked the quietness and easy parking, Heater was very good and bed was comfortable. Also nice to have a mini fridge and water in the room as well coffee and tea downstairs. Staff were very responsive via text.

United States of AmericaOur only complaint really was heating since the space heater was insufficient for the room size. Too many overlapping emails.
A unique old chateau, clean and very well maintained. Tastefully and expensively decorated with antique furniture. Beatiful grounds, easy access and parking. No traffic noise. Spacious room. Keyless entry. No need for staff on-site.

SwitzerlandThe fact that there was no hotel staff present was a little getting used to. It was a eery suddenly bumping into other guests in an otherwise totally empty house. The staircase to the presidential suite is really dangerous, especially with a suitcase. I wonder if ever a president would have stayed there with this staircase, probably not Mr. Biden... I think there was coffee in the lobby in the morning, but we had breakfast in town. Despite all this, we would choose the chateau again and it certainly comes cheaper than the hotels in Carmel...
The "château" is in a confined residential compound (although we never saw a guard at the gate). There were no hotel employees - self check-in and detailed instructions how to get to the room. We stayed in the presidential suite. Hey, when do you get a presidential suite for under $5K?? The suite was on the top floor and really huge, there are no other rooms on that floor. The living room was enormous in size, the bed was very comfortable. Next to the old-fashioned bath tub there was a modern shower. The stay was very quiet and relaxing.

United States of AmericaOne bed had a perfect mattress, but was an interior room with no window- the room with the window had a mattress that Goldilocks would not appreciate. Sad because that's the room we wanted to sleep in. The window by the front door opens but had no screen (bugs), the window in the bedroom with a window has a partial screen (bugs can fly in)- which they did and was amusing reading a Kindle or iPad and having flying bugs land on the screen all night. At least they were nice bugs.
Location was superb. Grounds were delightful. Rooms were wonderful, clean and well appointed. Communication from the owners/staff was grand. Thank you.

GermanyChateau Coralini was located a bit outside of Salinas right at the bottom of the mountains. It was super cozy and quiet and I had a great stay. It is a bit weird to have a hotel without any visible personnel. However check in worked super smooth following the given instructions. Also housekeeping did a great job in keeping the room clean during my stay.
