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.).

AustriaThe beds, at least in our case, weren't super comfortable. Take also into account that, being a historical building, it does not have an elevator, and the rooms are distributed in three floors
Very nice place, very good restaurant, quiet, big park around, nice pool / spa. Very effective and gentle staff. As a whole, a nice surprise .

SlovakiaChateau Appony is located in beautiful park close to the forest with hiking or cycling possibilities. We enjoyed our stay, the service was very good, the food delicious and staff very helpful. The wellness is quite small but nice and clean and not crowded during our stay. We went to the restaurant for the dinner and the service and meals were extraordinary. No problem with parking in the hotel area.

CanadaThe only restaurant had one menu for lunch and dinner, no specials for dinner. Also the restaurant serves as a bar so no alternative within the property to socialize. The food was excellent!
Beautiful property with a historic library to tour.

CanadaThis was the first place in which we stayed in which receptionists did not know what attractions are nearby but luckily there is a thing called "Dr. Google" (and Čičmany painted houses were a great place to visit albeit not necessarily close). The screen nets were supposed to keep insects out but they were broken or missing in places so we had to fight few flies through the room. Other than that. we're still unsure why we were given the most remote room (other than for losing few more pounds on the way to it :o)) when the whole place seemed empty (can't say deserted though). The restaurant was... meh (= kind of OK) but again lots of flies buzzing around (probably not great with food) and to this day we did not figure out why the server had to fold the tablesheets next to us. Oh, and one more thing: for some strange reason, their veal tasted a lot like pork (ummm, probably because that is what it was...).
Newly renovated old palace. Everything looks great and new and being so close to the woods we did not feel the need for AC. The room and bathroom were literally huuuge, each about the size of a flat in many European cities. The furniture was kind of worn out but OK.

SwitzerlandWe would appreciate at least one vegan option on the menu in the restaurant and more fruits/vegetables in the breakfast room. Also there is no lift at the property which is not a problem itself as there are only two floors, but you have to carry your luggage to your room yourself.
It's the real eyecatcher. The hotel property is beautiful and our room was stunning. We loved the decoration and the size was perfect for us too. We also visited the library which with its amazing interior and interesting story. We had dinner in the restaurant and the chef prepared a delicious meal for us outside of the menu as there were no vegan options included.

I love the atmosphere of the hotel, the meals served for dinner are exquisite, the breakfast choice is fabulous. I love the surrounding, the decor, the staff. Simply beautiful. If you are looking for a special place to stay not even 20 minutes drive from Nitra, do try this place - it is a very unique experience.

SlovakiaWe were there the same time a wedding was on, and therefore the ordering of food at dinner time was really slow. As the same staff were working the wedding and the restaurant. Shame as if this hadn't have happened it was have been an amazing stay.
The staff were really helpful and friendly. Plus could speak English. The room was really beautiful. Food was amazing. The spa facilities were really lovely and relaxing. Plus the building is beautiful, worth a visit to the library. We had a few issues but they sorted them out and upgraded us and treated us to other things. Great customer service.
