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 KingdomWe enjoyed our stay at Dream Nest, the family are so welcoming and kind. The breakfast was something different every day for the 3 mornings and the view was amazing. Great communication, they arranged us getting dropped off at the train station once we left and also offered us a laundry service. They even shared their birthday cake with us, truly amazing family.

IsraelWe had an amazing experience! We were welcomed in an incredible and heartwarming way after a long train ride. The owners are wonderful, kind, generous, and helpful with anything we needed. The room is well-equipped, with adapters, hot water, a large bed, functional restrooms, and a nice tea and coffee corner. The breakfast is amazing and varied, with something different and delicious every morning. The view from the room is breathtaking. Without a doubt, this place made our experience unforgettable. Thank you so much for everything!!!

PolandThere is a road down the hill. It’s a bit noisy in day time but it didn’t bother me.
Dream Nest has a very good location close to the city center but outside of the noisy area. Hosts are very welcoming and helpful with anything you need. They are also very discreet and give you a space for your privacy. Comfortable room and bed, delicious and huge breakfast and if you wish dinner as well. I recommend to try a home made food, cooked with passion and love.

LatviaI’m going to leave an honest review because if there was one I wouldn’t choose this property. But all the reviews are 8 - 10 out of 10 I just don’t get it. 1. Strong chemical smell from the restroom. When we checked in it was so bad I could feel it in my mouth . So I had to open all the doors to fight it. It faded only on the second day but not completely. 2. Room is so small, that you basically sleep your head next to the restroom door - and smell the smell. 3. Mattress is so hard and you can feel its springs. To be honest from my almost 100 countries where I traveled and countless accommodations where I stayed - it is the second worst mattress I could remember. 4. Cleanliness could be improved (dusty shelves and but for these shelves there isn’t much furniture to put your clothes on. 5. Water heater’s original cord isolation was damaged and now it’s isolated from the water and bathroom’s humidity just by electrical tape 6. Scooter host has for rent is very old and it kept stalling on the run.
Host family, beautiful view from the terrace, abundant and tasty breakfast, location.
