Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomRooms were relatively small obviously being an old cell and were lacking in things like no kettle, tea etc. we paid a premium because it was a last minute cancellation on our AirBnB and it was the Taylor swift concert in town. Based on normal rates I would say this was okay and not bad value though. Based on what we paid, which we think was the last room available, it was very expensive.
Amazing quirky hotel in a converted prison!

AustraliaNothing! In fact even the unexpected restaurant closure due to a public holiday meant we ate elsewhere, a highlight of our long holiday - would highly recommend Rianns Krog (10 mins walk) if you're staying a few nights.
Character, comfort, unique location on the island so peaceful, idyllic surrounds. Excellent parking, 5 mins walk to the excellent Stockholm Metro, lots of options for activities on the island, nice bar and restaurant.

United KingdomNothing.
Brilliant setting - a lovely, green island with lots of paths to run or walk around. Room (or cell!) clean, tidy and the layout clearly well thought through to make the most of the space. Good choice of food at breakfast too. An easy walk to the metro/buses to get into central Stockholm, or a pleasant walk by the water instead when less pressed for time. Would happily stay again.

IrelandBedding too soft but that's subjective. Kind of far away from the city centre, off on its own. It used to be a prison so that tracks
The location is gorgeous. Like a tropical island. Gorgeous building and surrounding area. Would suit a longer break and plenty of water activities.

United States of AmericaPerfect location. Just a few minutes walk to bus or subway which connects to everything you’ll want to see yet wonderful quiet place. The “prison” vibe makes for a fun change from other hotels. We opted for a “large” room and were quite happy about it.

GermanyThe personal in the restaurant (was horribly unfriendly). The kitchen personal was very kind and stood there. We asked them if the kitchen is still open (21:45). The said: yes, come in. We do something for you. And then the nightmare began: a very unfriendly old lady said: kitchen is closed (the tone…). We said, that the people 5 meter away said that it’s open but if not, we could leave. With in unbelievable unfriendly manner she gave us the menu and after 30 minutes she left, not before I told her how unfriendly of a person she is. Disgusting behavior for a nice hotel in total.
Coz beds, tiny room but spacious enough for us three.

AustraliaI liked most of all that it is in a historic building, a prison, that my room used to be a cell. It was a small room, but big enough for me and much more comfortable for me than the previous occupants. The whole hotel was lovely, with a museum in one wing. The breakfast was excellent and the surrounds on the island made a lovely walk.
