How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The location of my room, 825, right under the Sky Bar! The first three nights I managed to sleep ok, because the noise level was more or less ok, but the night between Saturday and Sunday the noise was unbearable and it was not until the bar closed at 1 a.m that it was possible to try and sleep! I really don't understand why, in a bar, where people presumably want to talk, the sound (won't call it music since I mostly herad the base...) level has to be so high that people have to shout to understand one another. In a disco, ok, ut not in a hotel bar! That was my complaint, but unfortunately it affacted how I felt when I left yesterday! I did talk to several people at the reception, including Anders, and they were very friendly and understood the problem. I don' quite understand how the hotel can even sell a room like that, unless it is to someone who is hard of hearing!
The breakfast was excellent, as usual. They have reintroduced "real" newspapers and I really appreciate that!

The property is a bit old and is starting to show in some rooms. Nothing that was a deal-breaker at all though.
The location is amazing. Walking distance to the city center and old town and right next to the main train station and several tram and metro lines. The staff were also wonderful and always super helpful.

Most uncomfortable beds for personal preference. Extremely soft that it made the most uncomfortable sleep I’ve had abroad.

We had only one issue and that was the lightings, we couldn’t switch them off unless we pulled out the room-card. On the check out we told the guy at the receptionist and he would check it out for the next guest. We could have told them while we were staying there but we didn’t mind it much and our stay was short anyways so we didn’t see it as something necessary.
Very nice with delicious breakfast. The bed is a bit hard and I personally like it better that way than having it soft. I also liked that we could connect our phone to the TV and the gym was really nice too, enough space and not too crowded. Very friendly and helpful staffs, I will definitely stay here again.

The room was clean, but it's a bit run down - there was obvious damage to the wall where a chair had scraped it, and the bathroom shower stall door doesn't keep water tight, unfortunately.
The breakfast buffet was, as ever, delicious, and the location is incredibly convenient, being right beside Stockholm Centralen. Everything that you need is right there, and the staff are super helpful.

View into the indoor courtyard quite annyoying - there was construction which was quite loud. There was also an evacuation alarm from another area (likely train station) that could be heard throughout the hotel even when we were told it didn‘t apply to the hotel
Location is central, you can get everywhere quickly

Currently work going on roof which is effecting breakfast area , scaffolding around breakfast area, would have been nice to have known to have a choice whether to stay during works. Sky bar staff seemed a little aloof. Also, every time buying drinks, card machine asks for tip, not really needed for buying a drink, just my thoughts.
Brilliant location near Station and centre. Rooms nice size and really Clean. Excellent friendly cleaners, and nice and helpful check in staff. Nice hotel

The swimming pool has an additional entrance fee. For a hotel in this category, this should be part of the amenities.
The lady at the reception was very welcoming and positive during check-in. The breakfast was delicious, and despite restorations, we were not disturbed at any moment. The gym is great, very well equipped and the hotel's position is very close to the city center and train station. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated.
