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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The walls are thin. If you go as a group, there's 3 rooms per floor so you're all together which is perfect. The other 2 rooms by us had nice guys in, but they were in and out of each others rooms when we were trying to snooze, banging and crashing doors. We got home 10.30pm and were woken at 2am, they tried to be quiet to be fair but chatted for an hour. Insulation round the doors so they don't close with a bang would help i think? Door closer on the front door, so the building doesn't shake when that closes would also help. Maybe the bar area is open during the season, it wasn't when we were there.
The host, Mitko, is a lovely guy. Really chatty in English and helpful taking time to show on map what is where. Free water in the bar area anytime was nice touch too. Very accommodating. He prepared a really nice, freshly cooked breakfast. Room was spacious and immaculate. Location is perfect, right on edge of old town, free parking outside, 10 min walk to city centre or restaurants.

The owner mitko met me at the bus station at 21.00 hrs which was very good,there is nothing he doesn't know about plovdiv or indeed bulgaria. The hotel is on the edge of the old town.he also took me back to the bus station when I left,much cheaper than a taxi would have been.would not hesitate to stop here again.

The location is perfect on the edge of the Old Town so you can walk to all the places of interest. The host was there to greet us and help to park the car. The room was spacious with great aircon, which was essential as temperature was in the high 30s. Also the fly screens meant you can get fresh air without being bitten! We only stayed one night but would definitely return on our next visit to Plovdiv. The host recommended places to eat and the one we chose was excellent and not a tourist place.

Unfortunately we left at 1.30am because we had to drive to Sofia for an early flight this resulted in us needing an early night for the journey unfortunately for us other guests were arriving whilst we were trying to rest which was difficult due to the noise. This was nobody's fault but I feel is worth a mention in case others should find themselves in a similar situation.
Mitko the host was an absolute treasure and went over and above to ensure everything was as perfect as could be.

too short a visit ;) a lot more to be seen in the town.
Centrally situated within walking distance from the city centre and the Trap :) Spacious clean rooms with comfy beds and pillows - best night's sleep I've had for a long time. The host is in a league of his own - a certified sommelier who knows all the best gourmet spots in town and can offer tips for any taste and occasion. He made us feel most welcome and at home - will definitely visit again!

It's a cosy little hotel located right in the historical part of Plovdiv, very near the Roman stadium. The owner personally handles all the guests and ensures the comfort of their stay. Very easygoing and providing all kinds of helpful information. Pro tips: First, there is a small backyard where one can store their motorbike. Second, the owner is a certified sommelier, so if you like wine, please talk to him - you won't be disappointed.
