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...).

The cleaning could be improved (I noticed some dust and breadcrumbs). Also, when there are three guests and the hotel knows this in advance, it would be nice to have three cups, robes, and beds prepared in the room. We stayed twice, and both times we had to ask for these.
The hotel suite was very spacious, with comfortable beds and a great breakfast. The vinyl player was the cherry on top!

It was so very large and the corridors were confusing, signage not good. Breakfast was very crowded. Rooms didn’t have a refrigerator. Check in took one and a half hours as the room wasn’t ready. Told they would let us know, so we sat in the foyer, waited for an hour and they didn’t come over we then had to stand in a cue for another thirty minutes before we were checked in.
Clean, comfy bed and very good breakfast. Central and easy to walk to restaurants.

Although it felt like a big space, breakfast was busy and it was sometimes hard to find a table. Also, it was a very long - and rather confusing - walk from our room to the lift.
Conveniently situated, comfortable rooms, very good breakfast.

Not much to dislike. Only thing was the shower got the entire bathroom floor wet. And gaps in the bathroom door made it less private, but not too much.
Location near the train station and the heart of Stockholm shopping was great. Room was one of few with a balcony which was a great bonus! I liked the vibe of the place.

Some first-floor rooms face the street, so you need to keep the curtains closed for privacy, as passersby can see in. The hotel is quite large and somewhat maze-like, making it a bit difficult to navigate.
Friendly and welcoming reception staff. Excellent location, especially convenient for train travelers.

The only minor downside was the short wait for our room at check-in, but we used that time to grab some food, so it didn’t really bother us.
We had a really nice stay at this hotel in Stockholm. We arrived by a rented car, and it was very convenient that we could park for 15 minutes right in front of the hotel, perfect for unloading our luggage easily. Although we had to wait about an hour before accessing our room, it was well worth it. The room was very spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, very copious with a wide variety of choices. We also appreciated that the hotel clearly indicated the best times to have breakfast to avoid rush hours. That was a very helpful tip and made mornings much more relaxed. We requested a travel cot for our baby at check-in, and the staff quickly arranged it for us, much appreciated! Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely come back!

At first, we received only one room key because they had run out of keys. We got the second key only the next day. We stayed for 3 nights, and our room was not cleaned even once—trash was not taken out, and no toilet paper was provided either. If you want your room to be cleaned, you have to request it a day in advance. The instructions from the staff were unclear, and the cleaners in the hallway did not speak English. Check-out is at 12 PM, but our room keys had already stopped working after 11:30 AM, and we couldn’t get into the room. I had to go to the reception twice to ask for access to the room, and only the second time was the key card successfully reactivated. No possibility for a late check-out.
Excellent breakfast and location. A basic, clean hotel.

the rooms are quite small. Some rooms don't have windows at all; in our Superior King room, the window couldn't be opened, which caused ventilation issues. The air conditioning only allows a 2-degree increase in temperature, which might be problematic during winter months. TVs do not support YouTube or Netflix, and the number of channels is very limited. Also, room cleaning must be requested a day in advance.
The breakfast was quite good, with plenty of gluten-free options available. The location is excellent—within walking distance to Arlanda Express, Central Station, and the Gamla Stan area
