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...).

NorwayIt was a bit of light on the blinders that we could not close properly and the lights of mini fridge on the bedroom was turning on and off all the time during the night which bothered us a bit. I didnt raise the complain to hotel staff but i hope someone does.
The location was close the ferry as we stayed in the same hotel as part of out initial trip we decided to stay one more night on our way back home and also the value payed was cheaper than others hotels in the same area.

NorwayIt was a misunderstanding on the breakfast time. We were informed during check-in that the breakfast was 06.30 but in fact the breakfast was actually from 07.30 which make us eat really fast hence we had an appointment at 08.30.
The location was great. We had to take the ferry on the next day and it was couple of minutes driving.

United KingdomPoor breakfast. We needed prompt 6.30am breakfast as catching early ferry. Breakfast room not opened until 6.35am after hammering on locked door. Hot food was cold, eggs hard. Orange juice dispenser empty, no cereals available, no napkins. Only 1 person to manage breakfast.......they need to employ more staff. The bathroom was a bit whiffy....inadequate ventilation or a blockage somewhere.
Genuine warm welcome, good size room, very convenient for ferry

Great location as it is right on the high street. Close to a bus station and the few tourist attractions like beach and mountain view. All restaurants are on the high street and hotel has own restaurant which closes really late which is very convinient

Czech RepublicSome equipment looked a bit old-fashioned, especially plastic taps in the bathroom. Walls would need some repaint, tiles in the shower were cracked. There are construction works around the hotel at the moment. Because of this, it doesn't look so nice from outside. For one-night stand it was ok.
Receptionists were nice and helpful. We welcomed free acces to tea and coffee in the lobby. You can also make tea or coffee in your room. Side entrance leads to the main road, which allows you discover the city quite easily.. We stayed for one night, so we appreciated short distance to the main bus station. We loved breakfast. It contained also some local specialities (smoked salmon, caviar, brown cheese).
