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...).

They should work on cleaning more, also the Wi-Fi was exceptionally weak, only my PC could work normally with it. The price is high enough, but you are paying for the location.
The location is superb, it's the very heart of the town. The room was quiet enough and the breakfast was simple but good. Staff was very friendly and helpful!

I encountered two negative details. The room is equipped with unusually low standing pendant ceiling light that is quite inconvenient because if you are a taller person you will hit it with a head from time to time. Also, the breakfast was below standards without scrambled eggs, for example.
This is one of those hotels that offer really a great value when you take into account the amount you have payed and what you have received. It couldn't be more centrally located than it is. It is within the walking distance from the ferry terminal and if you want to take local buses it is just a stone's throw away from GE-huset bus stop that is used by all the bus lines on the island. My room had convenient private entrance and it was quite large allowing a good night sleep. Also, the property is reasonably priced in, usually, quite expensive Mariehamn area.

Beds too soft. No lift. Steps to main entrance with no handrails. Hard to get in and out of main door to hotel with luggage because of raised areas on two entrance doors you have to go through.
Quiet room. Room a decent size for two people. Large enough we were not tripping over one another. Fridge in room. Easy to walk to from the ferry. Located close to the main part of town. Grocery store a block away. Decent breakfast. Able to store luggage at front desk.

Breakfast was a disaster. The juice tasted like water, The bacon and sausages were swimming in fat. and with the selection you couldnt put a decent breakfast onto your plate.
Great location, lovely staff and the hotel has been totally rebuilt it was in first class condition. They must update their homeside Perfect for us as we were travelling to Åland for a dog show and the location is perfect with lots of areas to walk our dogs and restaurants were local

The balcony was dusty and in need of cleaning. It did not really bother us, but it would be nice if the balcony would have a chair or two and maybe a clothes rack to dry beach towels overnight.
This hotel may not look premium but it has nice clean spacious rooms with a simple clean bathroom and even a balcony. Beds are comfy, curtains block the light well and the location is central yet calm. Staff is very nice and helpful. We were positively surprised that hotel guests may have a morning sauna and use the swimming pool in Hotel Cikada nearby. We did not go to sauna but spend nice afternoon hours in the pool.
