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.).

United StatesThe Hotel has very few windows. On warm days with limited building ventilation, the top (attic level) floor room became unsuitably too warm. Room had only 1 skylight window to open. A fan was provided, but barely adequate. The reception desk is not staffed after 17:00 .
Easy to make a reservation. Check-in was easy. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The room and hotel were clean. The location was good for touring (walking) the city. Breakfast was average but well attended by staff.

SwedenThe doors to each room slams shut very hard and loud all the time, which woke us up in the mornings ealier than we planned to be up. It's a bit noisy due to this and staff who were cleaning and speaking loudly early in the morning. Also our bed was positioned against the wall, so our heads were next to the hallway which probably added to the issue. Parking was full when I asked to book it before arrival and they only 4 apots available - Which it didn't say on bookings description, however a parking apot became available and it was smooth. Very tight parking though, so heads up if you have a big car. And alot of avavile parking spots outside the hotels own parking. Wished the staff in the reception was a little more accommodating with allowing a late check out. Would come back even if there things weren't the best.
Location is great, walking distance to everything inside the walls of Visby. Lots of parking options, calm area and a decent breakfast. Felt clean and tidy. Smellt amazing!

United StatesI didn’t realize we’d have a deluxe room with steep stairs to the bed and bath. Could be hard if you need to be careful with stairs. No a/c and no window covering so sun wakes you up at 3:45 in summer.
Very close to ferry so climbing up and down the hill with luggage is minimal. Breakfast was good.

SwedenWhen we arrived, the room was cold. Just a suggestion, please turn on the radiators before a guest has arrived during colder days :) The bed and pillows were a bit on the "soggy" side and could do with an upgrade. The sofa in the superior room was also in need of some TLC, it was extremely lumpy to sit in and not very comfortable. The heating in the bathroom didn't work although we tried all kinds of settings. We also felt a bit sorry for the lone cleaner who was sometimes overloaded with work on certain days when there were many guests, a help during more hectic days might be a good idea
We have stayed at Slottbacken on several occasions during the years and it's still a favorite in Visby. Out-of-season prices are extremely good value for money, the location is perfect, the breakfast excellent, the rooms cosy and the staff has always been great here (thank you Sandra and Jenny). There is also a small space to park the car (at a slight fee). The superior room we stayed on (on two levels) was tastefully decorated. And the same goes for the rest of the hotel btw

FinlandAir conditioning means two windows and a fan which is fine if it isn't too hot. If you need to keep the windows open during the night, you may here some noice outdoors.
The hotel has a good location on the edge of the old town and close to ferry port. Although the room is pretty compact the bathroom is a good size.
