Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomWe were not aware that the hotel was under major construction of additional hotel space and a new entrance being provided so the temporary entrance was a little tricky down a dirt track through the construction site. Parking although plenty spaces was a little isolated.
The room was a decent size and had both comfy bed and a sofa(bed) which was nice to have. Nice terrace overlooking the lake with seating. Dinner was from a small menu but the food was excellent. We had fish with creamed risotto, new potatoes and some sugar snaps. Breakfast had a seriously good selection of both hot and cold items. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There is plenty to walk round and if you have kids they will absolutely love it.

The restaurant only had a buffet, would have liked it more if there was something you could order so it wasn`t that expensive when you are travellling with kids. Not all the kids liked the food and was not many options for them

NorwayBreakfast not included and fairly expensive. But it was delicious with a good selection. + for having chocolate milk! The showers are small, just uses a glass door that makes it difficult to use the sink. And it don't stay tucked away. When showering the whole bathroom floor is wet. The toilets are really low to the floor. Probably to make it easier for kids. But it makes it awkward for everyone not 80cm tall.
Fun place for adults and kids alike! Great location with its own entrance to the zoo. Breakfast and dinner was delicious but expensive and not included. Great atmosphere and you can even buy tails of different animals so your kids (or adults) kan cosplay their favorite. Fridge in the room

NorwayThe room was too cold for our liking, we could not control the air condition in our room. Staff told us the air condition would turn off at 11 pm but it kept blowing during the night. The bed was slightly uncomfortable and along with the cold air blowing my body felt stiff in the morning
I like the animal themes in the room and the location, close to the zoo. The room was quiet and clean.

NorwayThere are a lot of people in the restaurant and it is not always possible to eat when you want. I had to wait. One evening the staff sent us to eat at another restaurant in another hotel about 8-10 minutes walk.

NorwayThe facilities are well used and deserve a makeover. Cleaning of the room was ok at best eg one of the coffee cups in our room was still full of coffee. Breakfast is an ok buffet with limited and cheap bread options though good for small kids. The rooms are small so if you use the sleeping sofa there is basically no floor space and the room also has no cabinets or hangers for clothes
Great location for the park and especially nice if you have a balcony with a view towards the lake and pirate show. Kid friendly and helpful staff.
