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.).

GermanyThe only slight quarrel I have is that I think for what it is, it was - at least in my case - a bit on the pricey side. A little less and it would have been perfect.
A slightly fancy city hotel (on the inside), maybe pushing to a higher standard - so everything was fine, slightly luxurious, well done, friendly, clean ... except that all told, in the end it has just the flair of what it is, a city hotel. But the location right in the center allows great walks along the impressive pulp factory (always worth seeing), along the lakeshores and down the streets. There is parking right across the street. The breakfast was good, the staff very friendly. My room was pretty large.

PolandThe room was a bit too cold but the receptionist did find us an extra quilt, which was helpful. The car park belonging to the hotel isn't too good when parking a large van. Lots of pot holes and quite dangerous when parking a vehicle with a heavy load on ice.
The property had a relaxed, homely feel about it. The gentleman in reception was very friendly and helpful, especially in helping us to find a parking spot as the hotel parking was full. The breakfast choice was very good. Lots of cereals and good healthy options.

FinlandFriendly staff, spacious and clean room (suite) which had super comfortable bed. Excellent a la carte in the downstairs restaurant, and good breakfast although wife said she’d wished for more variety in breakfast. The only reason I didn’t give this hotel a 10 rating was the traffic (loud mopeds) noise that woke me up a few times during the night. Not much the hotel can do about that, but it’s something that’s probably good to take into account for other visitors.

FinlandFor 149€ per night I was expecting a bigger room. The room was quite small, no fridge or minibar, just the minimum inside, a bed, a desk and a TV. There was space in the bathroom but like the bedroom, it's outdated and only a shampoo and a soap dispenser. Very poor for 149€.
There is a free parking behind the hotel. The guests can access for free to a small gym and a sauna. There was free WiFi. The hotel was quiet, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was basic but ok. The check-in and check-out were fast and the staff was helpful.
