Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

FinlandOur two rooms were quite different size and located on different side of the building (even if in the same reservation). If being on the street side it can be nosy due to old windows lacking the soundproofing. Other one of the rooms was not a twin room as promised but was fixed in a minute.
Staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was excellent, rooms were nice, clean and spacious (especially the other room was really big). Location was superb.

Breakfast had a lot of variety. Room was beautiful, the bathroom was amazing, just like the rest of the hotel. Location is perfect for being immersed in the old town/ historic university grounds.

United StatesCan't think of anything. The elevator is quite small so large groups might need to take turns, or the stairs.
An absolutely charming hotel with a variety of characterful rooms beautifully furnished with antiques and pretty linens. Bathroom very well appointed with luxurious-feeling shower and tub. Lovely to have coffee and the fridge in the room. We also appreciated how welcoming the common spaces downstairs were -- nice to have several cozy spots to gather and plan or chat or read. Location is perfect for exploring the center. Parking in the center is mildly annoying but not terribly expensive nearby, and the front desk helped us arrange everything and was extremely flexible about extending (and extending, and extending) on our final day. Generally, service was excellent -- prompt, accommodating, knowledgeable, and responsive. Seemed like a good value -- wished we could have stayed longer!

United StatesNo parking at the hotel, but they were very clear about the direction to the parking spot and you can pay them instead of getting the app, which is a lot easier than other cities we visited in the Baltics.
Perfect location. Beautiful room with high ceilings and very comfortable bed. We got the suite with sauna in the bathroom, which was amazing and clean. The service was excellent and directions to parking places was very easy to follow. Bathroom had a spa- like bath as well. Breakfast selection was good with hot items menu included. We had unloaded our items into the lobby and then went to park the car by the time we got back, they had moved all of our luggage and into our room without our asking. Staff is very efficient.

FinlandThis is an extremely good hotel. The location is perfect in the old town, on a quiet street. Our room was exceptionally beautiful, as was the whole building. Everything was very clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable. The weather was very warm, but it was nice and cool inside the hotel. Breakfast was outstanding! Best breakfast we have ever eaten.

This is one of the most charming and comfortable hotels I’ve ever stayed at, it felt like staying in a palace. We really enjoyed the novelty of an in-room sauna.

EstoniaStaff is very distant and non attentive. The drinking water is really a Muddy Waters case and only option is to by a small bottle 250 ml for € 3. Should have water machines at floor levels and complimentary water In room.Parking is on the streets and one must attend that you do not get fined. you do not get warned for this.
Great and charming hotel at good location. Comfortable rooms and easy access by elevator to all floors. Beds are comfortable and room service works well. Quality of food is good and should find something for each taste. Good vine list.
