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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

NorwayThe bathroom was ok clean but smelled a lot and the showers were not clean. Specially on the floor. There was some yellowish mucus that I just couldn't shower there. Also in my room there was a old baby bottle under the bed so there was some lack of cleaning there too.

NorwayAll ok - but it is recommended to check in before 19 pm if possible. After that you can check in through app. There is a road with some traffic, on the other hand this is makes the hotel more accesible - and it can be a start for exploring more quiet parts of Norway. Particularly the Telemark valley. There is a train Oslo-Skien every hour. Or maybe you arrive to Norway through the ferry from Denmark Hirtshals-Larvik (not far from Skien)
Vintage hotel. For nerds: Yoy wont get any closer to the birthplace of Henrik Ibsen, 100 m down the street (house not remaning). Absolutely recommended.

LatviaBreakfast has not so big choice like in Scandic or Thon, but the price difference for stay a bit compensates that. Room 213 windows cannot be closed 100% due to broken furniture, not sure how it is in other rooms Not enough power outlets, had to look for one under the table to charge phone Old shower
Very friendly and helpful staff. Quite good location everything is in the walking distance Room had heater so it was possible to raise the temperature.

NorwayThe side tables/shelves on each side of the bed were not mounted well and fell off under the weight of the cell phone. The price waa a bit high for the condition of the hotel considering it was newly renovated. The sound insulation was lacking as well, could hear everything inside and out.
Breakfast was ok, not to many options and the gluten free bread for my wife was horrible.

NetherlandsThe bed was impossible, the pillow constantly fell off, because of the lack of a headboard. In the end I took the matras out and put it on the floor against a wall. The showerhead couldn't be aimed manually and it was pointed at the door, wet floor guarantees. And this in a shared bathroom, it needs to be fixed.
Good location, breakfast was good.

NetherlandsInternet. Wifi router is OK. But connection router/modem to the public infrastructure is bad. Internet connection is lost very often. Very limited number of parking places. Unclear how to handle the public parking places (times, costs, need for tickets,.....). Cleaning of the room. One day they completely forgot us: No towels, beds not done, etc. On top of that the toiletpaper availability wasn't checked for a number of days. One night the toiletpaper did run out and it showed then that the spare one was empty as well! Lousy service.
Breakfast: Excellent; Friendliness of the staff at the reception/restaurant
