Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

KuwaitThe room lightning should be brighter, its very dark. also I believe that the room service hours should be extended as they close by 10 pm which is pretty early. hence I would suggest making the room service 24 hours available.
The reception staff were super friendly they made my stay wonderful. they were super helpful and professional. the location was exceptional and everything was close by a walking distance. there were multiple options of cafes and restaurants available around the hotel to choose from.

United KingdomMy only criticism was that room service closed at 10 pm because they were renovating the kitchen. We therefore had to rush a little when we got there. This won’t be an issue in the future and otherwise they were outstanding!
Loved the spa. Mud face mask and salt rub for the steam rooms. Delicious breakfast.

United StatesAs far as The Thief goes, nothing! I really like the hotel and enjoyed my stay. I wish the sidewalks weren't so icy though. I'll have to return when it's warmer!
Location was great, breakfast was good, the room was very nice (though there were way more pillows that I would ever need). Room Service was awesome.

United KingdomLeaving before breakfast was served, but very grateful for my Thief ‘Booty Bag’ filled with lunch goodies.
It was time to celebrate another one of life’s many landmarks and had decided to make a trip across Europe, culminating in a 4 night stay at the fantastic Thief Hotel in Oslo. On arrival I was greeted warmly by the front desk team and having prepaid through Booking.com, check-in was a smooth, fast a professional experience. I was informed that breakfast which was included would be served in the delightful 2nd floor restaurant, more on that later and also advised that access to the 24hr gym was via the glass elevator on my floor which also takes guests to the spa and wellness centre which are located in an adjacent building. The rooms are very well appointed with a beautiful King size bed and a large smart TV with both YouTube and Netflix access, the view from my 7th floor room was spectacular and look out across the fjord and palace. The bathroom was very nicely designed with a walk-n shower and smart mood lighting throughout. The Thief Hotel is located in a area similar to London’s Canary Wharf with a 15 minute walk (in winter) to the National Theatre Station which connects you to the Central Train Station, Oslo Airport and the rest of the city and region. The National Museum is adjacent to the station and is definitely worth a visit on those -20 degree days. The highlight of my stay at The Thief was definitely the breakfast and cocktails (not at the same time), the breakfast is a buffet style but on a whole different level, than your average self service experience. The food is presented beautifully and there is such a wide range of hot and cold fair that even with a 4 night stay I did not get to try everything that was on offer. In summary The Thief Hotel offers a truly amazing experience and I would highly recommend for solo or couples travelling to the Norwegian capital, the rooms are very nicely sized and the huge bed is super comfy with a good mix of soft and firm pillows ensuring a luxurious nights sleep and a very memorable stay.

United KingdomNothing, it's awesome
We've been coming to the Thief for over a decade and it never disappoints. In recent years being welcomed with a dog in tow we've come to appreciate even more that the hotel really is a home away from home. Having stayed in hundreds of five star hotels all over the world we've seen all levels of service, but there's a consistency and a calmness and something so relaxed about the Thief which is really unique and feels so welcoming. Never any issues with noise, always clean, staff are always super friendly yet professional. We'll keep coming back here as long as the hotel is in business, which I hope is forever!
