Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomMy bedroom block was difficult to find. I wandered around for a while with my luggage, until I accidentally met a resident monk who pointed me in the right direction. The directions were explained at reception, but Stift Göttsweig is a big place.
The location is exceptionally beautiful. I had a corner bedroom with two large windows and views just took my breath away. The lock up garage for ebikes was great. The breakfast was self service and very generous. The abbey and the imperial rooms are both amazing places to visit.

United StatesOur friends had a room in the lower section (retreat section). Their room was much smaller, not updated and down steps and long hall. They were not happy
So fascinating staying in such an amazing building. Our room (guest room section) was lovely with beautiful updated bathroom. The shared common room just outside our room was nice too, it had a kitchen

United KingdomOnly thing I would not recommend as a cyclist is staying the Sunday night as it was a rush to get something to eat at the property before they closed the restaurant.
Stayed here as part of a cycle ride along the Danube. Stunning location and great images from afar.. room was a good size and the same for the bathroom. Added bonus we stayed on a Sunday night so after the reception and restaurant closed up. You had the place to yourself for taking pictures without lots of people around. Rooms facing the courtyard do get a little warm

United KingdomAn amazing location in the peace and quiet of a wonderful monastery with glorious views over the surrounding countryside. Excellent breakfast sitting either inside or out on the terrace with great views towards the Danube. The bedroom and ensuite bathroom were very good, clean, plenty of space and all that we needed. The monastery, abbey, museum and grounds are well worth visiting with so much historical interest.

United KingdomA Benedictine Monastery on top of a hill. Steep climb, on bicycles, to reach it but very worthwhile. Breathtaking views over the surrounding area in all directions. Comfortable room with emphasis on quiet contemplation. A guests' kitchen was available if desired. The cafe/restaurant/bar closed at 18:00. Helpful reception staff. Beautiful buildings to walk around. Exceptionally good self service breakfast on the terrace (in sunshine when we were there!). Bicycles stored under cover.
