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.).

GermanyCell door didn‘t close 100% so light and sounds from the corridor drifted in at night time. Hair dryer quite old, gave off a burnt smell. Shower handle loose.
Very special accomodation in historic setting surrounded by quiet and green island still in the middle of the city. Metro nearby. Very good breakfast.

IrelandThe location was lovely although almost an hours walk from the centre. The walk along the waters edge is enjoyable if you are fit to walk (after a day walking in city!) Metro stop was just 15mins away in Honstull Room small but interesting...a former cell!
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The parkland setting and water front were very restful. The history of the former prison added a special element

United KingdomIt's a little weird sleeping in a building that is is also an attractions itself but this was never an issue
Interesting place to stay, the island itself is great to explore. More parking than at first appears (the staff direct you to more). Fantastic breakfast. Short walk to metro to get elsewhere. Good options for dinner locally.

BelgiumThere wasn't much that could have been better. We were very comfortable for our whole overnight visit.
The location is great. We just booked one night as a break from the tiny apartment we were sharing for our stay. It was a lot of fun, our kids in particular enjoyed the quirky decor and the prison features. We also enjoyed the museum with information about the history.

United KingdomComplimentary tea & coffee availability prior to breakfast starting at 7/7.30am would have been nice - only an issue for early risers though & it is available to buy still!
Great breakfast & amazing location! Honestly think the Island is the best place to stay when visiting Stockholm as it is so easy to get into all areas but quiet & peaceful in the evenings. We loved the little swimming beach and walking/running trails. Would also recommend the Wärdshus restaurant - which was lovely!

DenmarkThe rooms were to the smaller side, but that is really to be expected for a hotel in an old prison, so wasn't that much of an issue, but just something to keep in mind.
Excellent breakfast, and the location was unique and gave an opportunity for quiet surroundings that are still pretty close to the city center.

ChinaThe hotel is a bit difficult to reach via public transport.
Unique and interesting hotel converted from a former prison, with a small museum inside. Parking is convenient, and the breakfast is plentiful. Although the rooms are not large, they are well-equipped and surprisingly comfortable. Also, the reception staff were very friendly. The surroundings of the hotel are beautiful.

BelgiumThe rooms are small (!), but they have done their best considering they have transformed former prison cells into hotel rooms. And it adds to the charm of the hotel.
Really cute rooms that might be small (former cells) but which are also comfy and had all that you need. The bed was super nice and the breakfast great!

GermanyIt would have been nice if there was an outlet near the bed. There was a lamp but no outlet except across the room which made phone charging hard especially from the top bunk. Location is also a little hard from public transport but Uber is pretty cheap. Only a few euros more than the two train tickets we were considering buying to get there from the main station.
The place was great. Theme was fantastic and all the small touches were great. Lots of authenticity while still being really modern and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious also.
