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.).

This was an absolutely beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. Close to train station and all other main attractions in Stockholm - easy to get anywhere. Breakfast was the best we have had anywhere in our travels. Staff were lovely. Beds super comfy. We would definitely stay again.

FranceThe breakfast service disappointing Tables not always cleaned The staff should inform clients that the breakfast buffet will be cleared some minutes before the end of service. I have never experienced staff clearing the buffet without asking if we wish something before they close. Wifi connection poor in room

FinlandThe only minus was that the service at breakfast for ordering coffee etc did not run that smoothly but this did not take away from the experience and the breakfast was really good.
We loved the comfort of the room and the little details like music and a movie selection. My child loved the teddy bear and the complimentary cookies and made me swear we stay at Rival on all of our visits to Stockholm. I personally thought the combination of a great location, comfortable rooms and just a little extra personality was just perfect.

Second time I stayed here, although only for one night. The location on Södermalm is superb, next to many restaurants and the metro. The room met all expectations and the staff was great. They commented on my last review when I checked-out to make sure that my minor concerns at that time had been addressed. The breakfast was excellent! I have stayed in many hotels in Stockholm and this is one of the top-three.

United KingdomNot exactly 'not liking' but just a suggestion that some upgrading of some bathroom elements (the 'rain shower' part of our shower didn't work) might be a plan at some point. And also the media stations - though pleasantly nostalgic with DVDs and CDs etc - could perhaps be modernised. Just a thought rather than a criticism. I loved our room.
I think one of the major highlights of our stay was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - at reception, in the bar and the restaurant. The breakfasts were wonderful, super-healthy and delicious and really set us up for the day. We loved the complimentary tea/coffee/ice/fruit station on the 4th floor - that really added a 'homely feel'. Very welcoming and - so - relaxing. We also appreciated the gentle politeness of various notices inviting people to observe house rules - rather than the 'Guests must not...' vibe that is so common these days... at least in the UK...A small touch but it didn't go unnoticed. If I'm ever in Stockholm again - which I hope I will be - I'll definitely be back.

United KingdomRoom temperature was quite warm - couldn't find the thermostat - but then again, we never asked - so only ourselves to blame 🤷♀️
Really easy to get to from the airport- nearest station - 'Mariatorget' literally a 5 min walk to /from hotel. Staff were incredibly friendly - knowledgeable, polite and helpful. Loved the 'Help Yourself' tea & coffee station at the end of our room corridor on the 4th floor - proper coffee machine, selection of teas, (including English Breakfast), fresh milk and biscuits. There was also an ice machine. Mini fridge in bedroom. Quirky decor, cosy bedroom - underfloor heating in bathroom so shower floor dried up in minutes. Molton Brown toiletries was the icing on the cake 👍
