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 location and the bar/ restaurant on the ground floor, the variety of food options at breakfast.
The lobby, the reception and the restaurant look quite nice and the restaurant of the hotel overlooks the harbour which provides nice views over Marstrand and the Carlsten fortress. The room we stayed at however was quite dated and looked worn out and tired. The main light was not working, there were big stains on the carpets and the bathroom was slightly smelly. Not a complaint about this particular hotel itself, as we've stayed at ca. 10 different accomodations during our trip and it seems that they all have embraced this policy, but it doesn't feel right to be paying ca. 170 euros/ night for a rather mediocre room and not be provided with some basic in-room amenities such as coffee/ tea making facilities, and toiletries, e.g. cotton buds, a razor, shaving cream, a comb. I do support no-slipper and other similar environmental policies of the sort of e.g. toiletries not being in the room when you arrive rather guests picking them up from the lobby if they need/ want them. However this was not the case either at this or other hotels we stayed at. The dinner menu of the restaurant looked superb; we ended up getting open shrimp sandwiches but at 25 euros per piece it felt quite expensive. Tbf to the kitchen though they didn't skimp on the shrimp.

Verified reviewGreat location and great breakfast
Extra payment to use pool and spa (about 40 Euros per person!!!) The rooms themselves were large yet not super luxurious. Nothing wrong….Everything new and nice and clean but somehow without pool use not worth the premium.

Verified reviewThe breakfast
Unorganised staff och lack of information about costs. They forgot to clean even though we askedw for every day cleaning. Each visit to the spa was to be charged even though we stayed for 4 nights. For a family o 4 this would be additional 2000 SEK/day, so we only went to the spa once. They charged us more for our dog than originally agreed.

Verified reviewLocation was good.
This advertisement is not right and I would highly recommend not booking. The rooms are basic at best and are in serious need of an update for the price. The information on bookings advised kids from 10 can use the spa with an adult when in fact they can only use for 2 hours in the morning and have to pay full adult fee. The search of facilities says it includes pools however this is not true as the pools are only for spa guests and that is another charge. The staff were unhelpful. All in all very disappointed, go elsewhere.

Verified reviewAmazing views, great SPA, great breakfast, incredible service by friendly staff! So helpful! Good food!
The breakfast should be similar 15 minutes before closing as 15 minutes after opening.. especially since the hotel has its own bakery…. Most of it was still there but 90% of the bread and buns ran out every morning. Thanks to the kind staff, the pain chocolat was there on request day3 15 minutes before closing. When so many people eat from a buffet and the wc is next to it, there should always be soap available. One morning I mentioned to the staff that the soap had run out and 1 h later it was not refilled…

Verified reviewLocation is central. Parking fee is recommended. Spa is for a fee, we did not try it. I recommend staying here especially if spending time in Marstrand, so you can enjoy it. If only for a sleep pause, you’d better book something cheaper.
Shower drain was clogged on our arrival, and after we pointed out this to the staff it was readily cleaned and worked fine. Breakfast feels a bit crowded and chaotic, with a lot of people and the buffe spread on different tables, people going back and forth all the time…
