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...).

United States of AmericaAn error by the booking agency resulted in the hotel holding two rooms for me instead of one. The hotel staff reviewed the emails between myself and the booking agent and actually contacted the agent on my behalf to correct and I was not charged for the second room. The breakfast buffet was great.

BrazilThe room had a bad smell when I entered. There was a small leak under the bathroom sink, so I don’t know if it was for that reason. The ventilator was on but it’s noisy and I preferred to open the window so the smell improved a bit. No air conditioning so, but you can open the window at least. Duvet was to thick for the summer. My room had a blocked view from the other building, I wish I had view to the square.
This is a historic hotel right in the middle of old Kalmar. There are historical pictures from the hotel on the corridors. Bed is comfortable. Overall is good. Lots of amenities. 800 m away from the central station. Breakfast was good.

DenmarkParking could be an issue and hotel cannot guarantee a place in the garage. It could appear so on the booking site, so be aware. After some arguing however we did manage to get a place in the garage.
Location perfect for a visit to Kalmar. Room was nice and quit. Restaurant is good.

FinlandAmazing, but I think we were given the same room as 7 years ago: right above the yard where the garbage trucks pick up their loot early in the morning. The noise might have been a little less loud this time - and besides there were free ear plugs :). Parking is a problem when you have plenty of luggage since the chances of getting a slot at the hotel garage are slim. And I do wish also other hotels than the Finnish ones would install hand held showers by the toilet seat to wash your behind.
The breakfast was excellent and the staff was more than kind, lending us water and feeding bowls for our dog so we didn't need to go pick up our own at the car (a few blocks away). Also the bistro lunch was splendid.

DenmarkWe had no body shampoo in the bathroom/shower, the bottle was empty upon our check in. We had three nights at the hotel and reminded the reception staff two times about our problem - no result. We even removed the empty bottle and took it to the reception, but the cleaning lady obviously for some unknown reason did not notice that something was missing. Finally we were offered 2 small bottles body shampoo, but the fact is that the missing empty bottle has been never replaced. Just wonder, how it looks now. Breakfast: for some reason the staff at the restaurant didn't remove used dishes, cups etc., if you still were sitting there at the table, so if you have used 2 or more plates/glasses, you were sitting there with a lot of dirty dishes around you. Not a very nice picture, especially if you are more than 2 persons. Could be really good to have a coffee machine - to offer espresso, cappuccino or any other kind of coffee.
Great location, quite and not noisy, though in the very heart of the town, nice to have a terrace. Very good breakfast - almost everything you can imagine, very good bread, just may be more fruit could be a good idea.

NetherlandsParking is outside the city on a paid parking place, so you have to walk a bit.
The hotel is in the city center and has a restaurant. The restaurant is very convenient when all other restaurants in the city are already closed after 21:00.
