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...).

DenmarkI did not like the extremely small toilet room. And the little desk in my room was also small enough for me to get annoyed by that.
I liked nearly everything including very friendly service, easy acces to nessesary information in English, key and acces system, good breakfast buffet and nice location. The location is only 5 minutes from the city center (by car) and yet just next to a lake and lots of trees. I also like that the place is quiet and has elevator.

United KingdomThe walls are a little thin so you can hear the guy snoring next door, toilet flushing etc, but it wasn't a major issue for us.
We booked the hotel for Ironman Kalmar. It's in a perfect location not far from registration / transition and it sits on the bike and run course which was great for spectators. Breakfast was good. Parking was great. We had a shared shower on the hallway and that worked just fine. No problems at all.

IrelandThe gluten-free options at breakfast were a bit limited, as was the dedicated parking area, so when we rented a car we usually had to park it elsewhere.
The amount of room cleaning [once during our week-long stay] was just right. We liked the view over the sea, and fund the guest kitchen very clean and well-equipped.

SwedenThis is not a big deal but I would like to suggest that they add warm food for breakfast and offer complimentary coffee for hotel guests instead of charging SEK 20.
I like the location and the family room. It is perfect for 3 people. The staff are nice and they placed us in a good area fronting the waters.

United States of AmericaBeds were very narrow, definitely not a normal twin size bed. Attached toilet/sink room was so small could barely close the door. Really could only use that room leaving the door open. Walls thin. Could easily hear people talking in the next room. Reception more involved with doing other things than worrying about guests. I did not think to much of it when I went to reception the first time but I went on four different occasions and each time staff was too busy chatting with each other, playing on a computer or doing other things to notice someone standing at the reception desk.
We were able to check in early because our room was ready when we arrived. Shower room large enough to have a wet and a dry area for dressing.

The location is close to the city centre, walking distance. Room was smaller than expected, but just ok, while bathroom was bigger than expected. The breakfast was average, with a local bread, salamies, cheese, etc.. and I liked the taste. The staff was super nice and helpful.

Czech RepublicWhile there is a wide and appealing choice for meat-eaters for breakfast, vegans are limited to bread, marmalade and some vegetables. Some days perhaps vegan yoghurt. At least one vegan spread would be highly appreciated, and I would o nicely along with the hotel's declared efforts for sustainability.
Very nice staff, clean rooms and facilities, guest kitchen.

NetherlandsFirst night we slept very poor due to very thin mattrass (3 cm only) on a bed with spirals (could feel them whole night). We complained, and the next night we got a much thicker good mattress. Having the real mattress we had a good night sleep. Such a mattrass should be standard, especially in the comfort rooms.
We had a comfort room, which is very spacious. Quiet area, free parking, easy walk to centre. Bathroom was also spacious, but quite simple. The shower was powerful. The room also had a sofa.
