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 StatesSlightly weird room layout for a hotel but actually very efficient. Locked up kitchen cabinets (maybe they open if you request?) loved having kettle for tea coffee.
Beautiful comfy lobby. On a path to/from ferry so wonderful location for those who don’t want to take taxi. Nice staff. Great breakfast.

SwedenThere was only one tiny table for everything and glass surface, so it was hard to work with laptop. No microwave means it was impossible to heat most of the food.
Property has convenient location, friendly staff, a big size room for this money.

SwedenThe room was in the older part of the hotel I think, it was quite run-down and not very fresh unfortunately. The mattress was a tad bit too soft causing me some back issues.

BelgiumThe room could have been just a little cleaner/less dusty, although it didn't feel exactly dirty. The window looked out to the parking lot. A better view would've been nice but not necessary.
The location was great. Very quiet, close to the centre, bus station and ferry terminal. The breakfast was very rich and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The bedroom was comfortable and had everything we needed.

BelgiumWe arrived late, after the opening hours of the reception, and it was a little tricky to find the key cards in the dark. Luckily another guest arrived a few minutes later. She had visited the hotel before and knew exactly where to find them. She did mention, though, that she had same problem the first time she visited the hotel. Also, the signposts in the parking lot were, in my opinion, not very clear.
The location is brilliant, close to the ferry terminal and the old city centre. There is plenty of free parking spaces and a supermarket 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The rooms and views are great, and the breakfast is excellent.

United StatesWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Ellen at the front desk was delightful and very helpful throughout our stay, answering many questions with patience and accuracy. Her assistance definitely made our visit much easier and more enjoyable. Breakfast was a huge buffet with a large variety of hot and cold items. One could eat outside or inside, but if you eat outside don’t leave your food unattended due to friendly birds. There are about 12 free parking spaces in front of the hotel as well as free parking in the neighboring street. If there is no free parking, there is for-pay parking behind the hotel, paid for at the front desk. Our room was clean and met our expectations. It included a nice balcony which was unexpected where we enjoyed our takeaway pizza Al fresco. The hotel is located steps from the Visby medieval wall so it is very easy to walk into and from town to visit the sites and eat. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

AustraliaThe staffs limited English made it difficult at times. We ordered a breakfast pack the night before as we had an early ferry the next morning. Our meal pack order wasn’t received by the kitchen staff. Created an uncomfortable conversation that morning as the morning staff could not speak English. Lucky I knew some Swedish.
The location was great close to the ferry terminal and east walking distance to Visby old town. It was very comfortable.

United StatesParking is very limited. If you don't need a car to tour the rest of the island, I would recommend not getting one or renting one for just the days or times you need it. There are lots of taxis available and a couple of rental car locations within walking distance. There are only a few spaces belonging to the hotel in the front that are free, (and usually full) otherwise there is a small lot behind the hotel owned by another party that charges by the hour and it can get expensive if you need to park there for longer periods. There is no "daily rate."
Great location close to the center of Visby and a short 500m walk from the ferry terminal. Close to everything without being in the middle of everything.

FinlandThe bed was a bit too firm for my tastes - but that is admittedly a matter of taste.
Comfy, spacious room with a lovely city view. Very close to the habor and the old town. Friendly staff, great selection at breakfast, and I was able to check in very early! Overall, I was very happy with my one-night stay and thought this hotel offered good value for the money!

Best Western Solhem Hotel is located just outside the old city wall of Visby. It is near the centre and above the harbour but still very peacefull during the night. The breadfast buffet was excellent with many delicious cold and warm choices. The rooms were more modern and clean than the house looks like from the outside. We had a beautiful view to the sea and sun set.
