Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

FinlandThe buffet dinner was a bit too fatty and meaty for our stomachs.

FinlandThe food is canteen-like, but it IS a monastery, after all.
A very unusual place to stay. While more touristy at peak times during the day, once the day-trippers leave, calm descends and it feels like a monastery again. The berry wines, for sale in the shop and most of which can be drunk in the wine bar, are very good.

FinlandNo complaints
The monastery is fascinating, its history especially. We were so lucky to have a volunteer guide from the Netherlands, Vincent, to give us a superb tour. Thank you for this! The accommodation is modest and good value for money. The breakfast is buffet style and flawless. The staff at Valamo were all extremely kind and accommodating. We recommend staying overnight in order to get the most out of your experience. We ended up extending to two nights. Bring mosquito repellant!

SwedenEverything about the visit is good except the room which has no isolation at all to the corridor outside. This was not a pleasant experience since many people walk back and forth the corridor to reach the toilet/shower in the evening and during the night. The floor makes a lot of sound no matter how careful you walk. Also it was not so nice having your room in the middle on the first floor right to the small common area where people talked late after quiet time (9 pm). Since good sleep is very important for me, I did not enjoy that at all and could have not stayed any more night. BUT! This is still a very nice place! The natural surroundings, the church, the museum... But looking on the rating of the room, it was not so nice due to the bad isolation. Otherwise the room was good size, nice bed linen, good toilet and shower, good bed.
