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 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

DenmarkThe coffee machine to get cappichino, caffe latte etc. was out of service both mornings, and a bit of a disappointment. There was back up coffee though, and a great selection of tea. (Including herbal - cammomile - which was nice).
Amazing breakfast! We loved the pancakes, the smoothies, and the booster juices. Plus all the rest! The location was so handy to walk around town, and the parking (although we had to pay both day and night, was very close by and convenient).

NorwayI like crispy bacon, and so, it would appear, does Mr Thon. His hotels, once the pinnacle of utilitarianism, have evolved into a very comfortable brand, and Thon Arendal demonstrates this transition well.

United KingdomNot the hotel's fault, but signage from the railway station to the town was obscured by trees. We knew from a guidebook that a car park tunnel was the flattest way of accessing the town centre, but luckily found a local man who showed us the way - the tunnel did not look pedestrian friendly until you were in it. Not many signs in the town either.
Clean, comfortable room, good breakfast. Close to harbour in old town area. Fabulous views from upstairs breakfast room.

EstoniaThe parking nearby could be a bit more "user friendly" showing the exit for pedestrians. And if it is still under the management of Thon Hotel (or not?) then the parking could have been paid at the reception.
Good Thon hotel with all the facilities and options you could expect from it. They have a nice little bonus that if you visit fitness then you get a protein bar for that :)

Czech RepublicSo glad I have chosen this hotel. Loved it from the first moment. All procedures - Check in, check out, recommendations, special request - all has been done absolutely perfectly. Special thanks to pleasant members of staff at reception (and those on night duty). Breakfast absolutely stunning, so much to choose of and loved the local products. Beautiful way of presenting everything. Freshly squeezed orange juice and many different types of coffee also a good option. Superb personal. Not forgetting all is served on top floor overlooking bay and town....perfect start into new day. So relaxing. Room yet again great, clean, comfortable, with fridge/mini bar, safe, iron board. Spacious. Nicely equipped gym. Public parking in "across the street" building. NExt time passing through Arendal, for sure will stay again. Many thanks to all. Tomas
