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...).

My room was nothing like the photos on Booking. com website when I booked it. I think this has since been corrected but I was extremely disappointed when I arrived in the room. Apparently the photos were of another Peera Hotel 500 km away!! The sauna in the room was very small and two people would struggle to be comfortable in there.
Good location and comfortable room. Restaurant was very good and served great fresh fish. Reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Breakfast was very disappointing. After good food for dinner breakfast was poor. We had to take our own cereal and peanut butter. There was almost no edible fruits, no toaster (the bread had to be the previous night's leftovers), and the pastries were stale. Although the hotel advertises a pool and gym etc. these are at an extra cost. The hotel is an ex-Scandic hotel but is now in need of a complete refit from the 1970s Soviet era decore. The bathrooms are very small and most fittings in the room are either broken or in need of replacement.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our original room was on the sunny side of the building and without air conditioning it was unbearably hot so the staff upgraded us to a cooler and much larger room. The WiFi was fast, easy to use and reliable. Although the dinner menu was limited it was good quality, tasty and reasonably priced (for Scandinavia). The hotel is in a great location with direct access to walking paths around the lake and easy walking distance to the town centre. The parking is free and easy to access.

Hotel needs an urgent update: Our room was quite ran down; Bathroom is EXTREMELY small and uncomfortable 👎 (If you are sitting ON the toilet, you are touching the sink and your knees are bumping in the door); Heating did not work, it was pretty cold in the room; The TV was an ancient piece of antiquity 🤣; (NO way to connect any external device - we are in 2023!!!🙊); Very noisy in the whole hotel, but I pesume it was due to an exhibition held that weekend.
Great location; Good price; Good breakfast.

Could not find a way to turn up the heat. The bathroom floor was cold. Would have wished for more sockets to enable charging multiple devises.
Pet friendly, bed was very comfortable and the room size was good. The breakfast was ok and there was enough food and the breakfast restaurant was clean.

You had to request for your room to be cleaned, it is not cleaned daily as hotels normally do. When they did clean the room, they only emptied the bins and made the bed - They did not sweep and didnt change the bedding the whole week I was there. There is also no air conditioning in the entire hotel!
The hotel is in a good location and easy to walk into town for shops. The lake view is the best part of the hotel The staff at reception was very friendly and spoke English. Helped at all times of the day and very engaging.
