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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

RomaniaA cozy 5 star hotel that is good for recharging the batteries ! Strong points Personnel attitude. All of them eager to help and provide 5 stars services! Special mention for Lucie that was very supportive and gave us good hints! Spa area - not very crowded and quite keeping in mind the specific of the hotel-adults only. Food and restaurant atmosphere - extraordinary, deserving the 5 stars 🤩 Weak points - a liitle bit farway of Karlovy Vary and with nothing to do around. At the end weak points could be an advantage to have a quite and relaxing holidays. All the best!

IsraelWOW WOW WOWWW 5/5 hotel!!! amaizng stuff high leveled resturant luxury spa clean and spacious rooms 11/10 experience First of all, the location of the hotel is amaizing, right next to the beautiful river and the mountains. Even though it's not in the center of Karlovy vary, the ride to the center is so quick and there are taxi's all over which are very avalibale. The hotel itself was great! the rooms were so clean with such a great view to the river. The pool and spa were intimate, veryy clean, and spoiling!!! The brakfast was delisious and diverse. And I must say that the stuff members were incradible. We felt so welcomed by the hotel manager, Lucia and Sonya , the receptionist, who helped us so much , and were so kind and patient. The hotel's resturant is high leveled and luxury, the waiters were very kind, one of them, Metin, was so nice to us, helped us with every quistion that we had, was so sensetive, kind, patient and really just made us feel like we're at home. We will defently come back again to this lovely hotel, We are so thankful for the great people and the warm welcome, highly recommanded!!!!

Czech RepublicA very beautiful and intimate place located in the forest and by the river, yet close to Karlovy Vary. This boutique hotel is perfect for relaxation, with clean and cozy rooms. The wellness and spa facilities have everything you need. The staff is incredibly attentive and caring, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here, and I had reserved a massage for him. They also added a candle to his dessert and made a custom cocktail that wasn’t on the menu. They opened the spa center earlier than scheduled just for us and offered us a late check-out. I have never encountered more exceptional staff.

Germany1 of 2 sauna cabins was out of service. Check-in took quite a while as the receptionist was busy and not at the counter the whole time. I would expect the receptionist to be at the counter continously and be a bit more friendly - it is a five star hotel after all. Plus the receptionist wanted me to pay like 60€ for early check-in (it was only 1 hour before check-in time and the room was available...). Took a while to argue and the receptionist finally allowed to check in earlier without additional cost. Would wish that the hotel would be more service-oriented.
Very pleasant stay in a luxurious room! Had the sea/mountain view, beautiful. The hotel is in a remote area, hence very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed complimentary welcome drinks.
