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 are 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 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.).

FinlandThe room size was not benefitial. TV location in room was weird and it did not even work properly. There were warnings about room heat since no active air-conditioning was present (it is currently under renovation) The sofa and carpet had a huge amount of old staind that were pretty gross.
Room was big but in a "weird" way. The hotel was in a nice quiet neighborhood with walking distance from city center. Also few good restaurants near by and a nice park.

Australiavery late booking in time - and staff were very slow to make sure iur room was ready and get us into our room we took our breakfast back to our room (so it was getting cold by the time we got back as there is only one lift) because there is not enough space in the dining area for all guests at breakfast
The room was comfortable and a good size - cosy on a cold winter night - the hotel is in a good location (although a fair way from the station if you happen to arrive by train and want to walk)

SwedenThe main disadvantage: the breakfast is a disaster. There is almost no space so you end up either not getting a table at all or having to share a very cramped space with strangers. The food was often not refilled and there was no logical order to go through the different tables which led to a lot of irritation. Each morning we had to ask for plates and cutlery because they had run out and not put new ones. All in all, a very unpleasant experience. There is only one elevator for 7 floors full of rooms so prepare to do a lot of waiting... The bathroom set-up is a bit strange and the toilet/shower part didn't have a proper door, just a sliding thing that didn't really close. Our toilet paper was never refilled, we had to ask at the reception to get some. No toilet brush. Even though our room had a kitchen, there was very little equipment. For example, it would have been nice to have some washing-up liquid, it doesn't make sense to go and buy a big bottle for a 3 night stay...
The location is great, the city centre is walking distance away and there are several bus stops nearby. Very quiet. The room was spacious and comfortable. Very nice that they had EU and USB sockets in the room.

United KingdomWaited until 4.15 for room. Arrived at 3 but understand entry is 4pm. However i had to keep approaching staff. At 4pm i was told housekeeping hadnt confirmed room was ready. I think someone could have physically checled.. had my 83 year old mum. I'm not sire how long we'd have waited if i hadn't asked for 3rd time. Lift broke too which meant using service lift. Was a special gift for my mum so a bit disappointed. Good selection at breafast altho bacon was overdone. Paid £434 for 2 nights so hoped they could have had room ready o time.
Room was clean and good facilities
