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...).

SloveniaMost of the staff doesn't speak english (besides reception), so that can be a problem. The kids pool gave my child a bad rash - probably because of the chemicals they have to use to keep it clean.
The all inclusive was great, food was tasty and there were many options to choose from. Staff is friendly and helpful.

HungaryThe room was the family room. Aircon was releasing smelly air, so we turned it off. For this much money one would expect proper bed, but we only got 1 bed and a very uncomfortable sofabed…it was also potentially dangerous as it had a large iron frame, the kids hurt themselves getting off and on constantly. One of the pillow was smelly, had to put it out to the terrace and air it. There could be a cupboard in the bedroom as apart from the bed and tv it was empty. We stored the clothes in an open suitcase on the floor. Few hidden charges like the sauna world entry isnt included, parking is extra charge within the hotel’s parking lot. The hotel was overcrowded, at dinner we felt that we are going to battle every time. For the amount of money we payed we expected comfortable beds, aircon which works etc. Also, no gym available within the hotel.
The food is brilliant, good variety and very tasty. There are healthy options for everyone. The people working there were helpful and nice.

AustraliaWe stayed at floor 1 facing the parking area this time There was smoking area right underneath us so we couldn’t open the balcony much as the smoke was straight in our room. Toilet hard to splash :-)
Second time in this hotel for a 5 day vacation and we again had a great time. Perfect location right next to the Zalakaros thermal and aquatic centre (hotel connected to the spa with a tunnel). Comfortable rooms and the most delicious food.

GermanyWhile there is plenty of food available several times a day, I have my doubts about the quality of the food. Not that it was bad or anything, it's likely that they are using cheap ingredients. It's a little bit noisy since there are a lot of families and people who enjoy all-inclusive stays.

SloveniaWhile the thermal spa has potential, it's in dire need of renovation. Unfortunately, several staircases were closed during our visit for maintenance, limiting access to upper levels and causing overcrowding, especially on the hanging net passage, where safety concerns were evident. Floors are excessively slippery, necessitating the use of slippers at all times. Additionally, the early closure of the thermal center at 7 PM, especially during the week, felt rushed, also because of the lack of evening entertainment - no mini disco or something that you would expect for a hotel like this. While the spa has potential, significant improvements are needed to enhance the guest experience.
The suite was really nice, but we found the lack of storage space in the bedroom- the room only had a bed and nothing else, which made it challenging for a family of four. With two children sleeping on the couch in the 'living room,' there wasn't enough space for everyone's clothes. On a positive note, the food was amazing, although the children were disappointed that pancakes weren't available for breakfast. :)

SloveniaEverything in spa is not working during the week. Spa world is open only from friday to sunday. It is also not included in the price, but we would have paid it, if it was open.
The hotel is very welcoming, the food is good and the spa is amazing. The spa is connected to the hotel, so there is no need to go outside of the hotel. The hotel provides the towels and bathrobe. The room is very clean, there are basic toileteries. The price-performance is exceptional. This was our second stay in this year ☺️

IsraelYou should pay for the hotel parking -not sure why. There are free parking outside but with some limitations and unclear explanations. The variety of food could be a bit better for such level of hotel.
The big plus is the fast access direct corridor from the hotel to thermal park. Modern room with new A/C (was important in the hot days).
