How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe hotel is charming and historic. Our rooms were very attractive and comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient. We needed to change our room as the ceiling was too low for my 6' tall husband, and it was all arranged quickly and with no difficulty. Good breakfast too!
Everything good. Tea making facilities in rooms would be nice, but a small quibble.
Dear Claire, Thank you so much for your wonderful 9 out of 10 rating—your feedback truly brightened our day! I’m delighted to hear you found our hotel charming and historic, and that your rooms were both attractive and comfortable. It’s especially gratifying to know our staff’s friendliness and efficiency, as well as the ease with which we changed your room to better suit your husband’s height, met your expectations. We’re also pleased you enjoyed our breakfast! We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about adding tea‑making facilities in the rooms. Though a small quibble in an otherwise excellent stay, it’s certainly an idea worth considering—and I’ve shared your comment with our management team for evaluation. Thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed and kind feedback. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime—and perhaps next time, with tea at hand for a cozy moment in your room!

Verified reviewCharming 18th century buildings with stylish Scandinavian furniture

Dear Katarina, Thank you so much for giving us a perfect 10 out of 10 and for sharing your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed our fantastic experience, the charming 18th-century buildings, and the stylish Scandinavian furniture—your kind words truly warm our hearts.

Verified reviewA lovely old building in the middle of some new apartment blocks. Beautifully restored - we loved the old stove in the corner of our room. Comfortable and tranquil. Very helpful and knowledgeable receptionists (thank you to Isaac and Sana for your recommendations).
Breakfast juices (orange and apple) were rather watery. Bathrooms had soap/shampoo but no moituriser or conditioner
Thank you, Lorna, for sharing your thoughtful review—I’m delighted you chose our hotel as your base for exploring Stockholm and that you appreciated our beautifully restored historic building, especially the charming old stove in your room. It’s wonderful to hear you found your stay both comfortable and tranquil, and that myself and Sana’s recommendations were helpful and made a positive impact on your visit. I’m sorry to hear, though, that our breakfast juices didn’t meet your expectations and that we fell short in providing a fuller range of toiletries in your bathroom. Your feedback on the juices being somewhat watery is noted, and I’ll be sure to pass that along to our breakfast team so they can adjust for a richer taste going forward. Regarding your bathroom amenities, we understand how important it is to offer moisturizer and conditioner alongside soap and shampoo. If had known I would have provided this free of charge. Thank you again for your kind words about myself and our reception team. I’ll personally make sure Sanna receive your compliments. I´m glad our local insights added to your experience. Should you decide to stay with us again, please don’t hesitate to let us know if there’s anything specific you’d like—we’d love to make sure your next stay is even more enjoyable. Hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable visit to Stockholm! Kind regards, Isaac. Front desk. Hellstens Malmgård

Verified reviewIf you want a hotel that looks like all the others, go elsewhere. If you want a place that is charming, individual, old-fashioned in a good way, come here. My room was in the rafters, with crazy angles all over. OK, the ceiling was a bit low for me in places, but so what, I managed. The decor was a fine mix of vintage and reproduction, and the bathroom was spotlessly new. It is only ~200 m from the nearest metro station, yet it is set well back from the main street, so it's quiet.
Well, it was a bit hard to drag the suitcase across the cobblestoned courtyard... but the cobblestones are part of its history, its style and its atmosphere, so one has to compromise.
