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.).

United StatesThe room was small but it didn’t detract from everything else.
Perfect location in the center of town within walking distance of all attractions and the train station. Beautiful and luxurious hotel with friendly staff and impeccable service. Extremely comfortable beds - hard to get out of bed in the morning because the beds were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with many options. Ambiance of the hotel was ‘quiet luxury’

NorwayVery hot rooms. Should really have air-conditioning installed! Borrowed a fan, but did not help much. Not very happy with breakfast. We waited 1 hour for our omelette & English breakfast. After asking for it twice, it finally arrived after 1 hour, but was not what we ordered. We ended up walking out without eating it & we were not the only one. The table next to us was more or less shouting at the poor waitress.
Very nice hotel, although VERY overprised at the time. The location is fantastic. We stayed here because we loved it last time we were here. Some very hard working, nice & serviceminded staff, especially in the bar.

AustraliaThere is nothing to dislike!
This was our second stay here. The first was 5 years ago. It was just as good as we remembered from last time. On arrival we were offered a delicious local apple (cider?) drink. Very welcome after a long day’s travel! Our corner room at the rear of the hotel had plenty of light and views to the lovely streets below. The bathroom was clean, spacious and well-designed. Bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. Breakfast here is a treat. As well as a well-stocked buffet there is table service. Wait Staff were attentive and helpful. Plenty of space, comfort and style in this beautiful and historic restaurant. The Hotel is very well-located, yet quiet. Close to the historic Bryggen area, Bergen Harbour and the Fløibanen. Highly recommend!!

AustraliaBar staff needed a bit of work but no serious complaint.
Where do I start, the reception area was fabulous as was the dining area. We had a pianist playing at breakfast and a trio of musicians in the afternoon. The room was very clean and well appointed, the reception staff were very helpful and professional, bar staff were not as good but there seemed to be some training happening. Overall this is a great hotel in a fabulous location.

United KingdomIt was a little noisy at night occasionally, but that really is to be expected when the location is right in the heart of the city centre.
The hotel staff are absolutely fantastic at Opus 16 as well as the beautiful building, first class breakfast, and excellent facilities. There was a slight delay in our room being ready to check into when we arrived, which we didn't mind waiting for. However, we did mention to the staff that we were on our 10-year wedding anniversary. 5 minutes later, Andrea, the office manager, met us and upgraded us to an executive suite for free, which was absolutely fantastic. As well as receiving a gift to celebrate our anniversary, a personalised touch that was extremely thoughtful. We had a fabulous time in Bergen, which in no doubt the hotel was a huge part of. Highly recommend Opus 16 to anyone.

New ZealandNothing we didn't like - it was excellent.
The hotel was located right in the middle of Bergen, perfect and central to everything. The hotel was absolutely beautiful, opulent surroundings and nothing like this in New Zealand. It was historical and we loved it. The staff at reception were so helpful and friendly, they even helped take bags up to our room. Which as a very nice room - one of the few with a view over the harbour. We love the half day cruise up the fjord - well worth it.

United StatesTruly it was great. No complaints at all.
The location was perfect from the Bergen Light rail, just a block which made the transfer from the airport so easy. And also just an easy 8 min walk from the Bergen Central Train Station. The hotel was beautiful and so clean and comfortable. The staff was so welcoming and kind. We did opt for the breakfast included and that did not disappoint. You have your choice of buffet or they would make a hot breakfast for you-either is included if you include breakfast in your stay. And we were excited to get up every morning to head there before heading out. There is a grocery store across the street if you need anything additional. They supplied us with a large umbrella which was perfect if you are familiar with Bergen weather/rain. The beds were comfortable. You are steps from Bryggen and the Fish market. But far enough away that it is not loud at all. We almost opted for a different hotel that was in Bryggen on the main area on the water, and we were very glad to be tucked back instead of that louder area. The funicular was walkable and there were dozens of restaurants in easy walking distance. After hiking and playing hard all day the hotel was a welcome sight to sink into. It might have been a little more expensive but I do not regret it at all.
