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...).

Pretty nice hotel with friendly owner. The room was really big with fridge and kettle. Good location (up to 10 mins to train station, about 25 mins to city center). The breakfast was pretty good as well, there were not a huge variety of food, but still not that bad (eggs, a bunch of vegetables, some cheese and meat, coffee with milk, cereal)

Cable TV provided almost exclusively channels dubbed in Russian, sometimes subtitled in Romanian. Because of the dubbing, you could not really understand anything. But this is not necessarily the villa's fault.
Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Huge room, can accommodate a family. Equipped with big fridge. Very calm, not noisy at all, allows you to get a good rest.

A bit pricey. There was no toilet paper, so we had to ask for it. There was not enough blankets for 3 of us, had to ask for them ) Loud music from nearby disco may be an issue. But it calms down a bit at night.
Nice spacious room with 2 beds. Pets are allowed. Central location, really convenient. Also there is a public transport stop just nearby. Air conditioner works well. Unlimited hot water. Super convenient for travellers with car - they have inner parking space.

One evening there were noisy people in the next room into the early hours of the morning, but this wasn't the hotels fault. Better soundproofing between the walls would have helped.
The hotel is in a central location, convenient for shops and restaurants, but is away from the main roads so there is little traffic noise . The location is only 5-10 minutes walk for the train station, the central bus station, and buses to the airport and other parts of of Moldova. The room was comfortable, and everything worked, including a good wifi connection and a powerful shower. I didn't have the breakfast, so can not comment on this.

I didn’t like the surrounding of the hotel. Seemed not a very safe district from the first sight. We were put on the last floor, when we entered it was pretty hot inside. The beds were really very uncomfortable. One was too soft, another was really very bad. The pillows didn’t keep shape. We didn’t have a good rest. We also constantly heard people opening and closing doors, going somewhere loud in the middle of the night.
Staff, elevator, shower, a bottle of water in the room.

Furniture is old and carpets need some cleaning. You have to climb stairs from the street to reception, there was no elevator.
Good location, close to some bars/restaurants and not far from the center of Chisinau. Clean bed linen, very big rooms
