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.).

Good brekafast with a variety of food. Spacious and clean room. A lot of amenities provided, like hairdryer, iron+ iron board, shampoo, shower gel. It is a great hotel to travel for work or studies. Comfortable common area to study. Big plus that it offers coffee/ tea all day for free. Also includs dinner.

SingaporeThe bed was little too soft and bouncy for me, but its a personal preference.
The staff was very friendly, and the ambience was like a home away from home. Even the Breakfast and Dinner felt like home cooked food, cosy place to have your meals, and most importantly great coffee (free flow) to start the day. All wrapped up in a very reasonable price! Will certainly stay in this hotel again in my next visit.

FinlandOn 2 out of 2 nights the hotel had trucks unloading items between 5 and 7 am below our window. On the 2nd day, the glass was being picked up twice (..) during this time frame. The window curtains were hanging loose (badly). We hooked them back in ourselves as we didn't have the energy after our travels to go downstairs for this. The window curtain rail had a big gap (15cm) between the curtains and the window. We were here during midsummer, meaning the room did not get dark at all during the night. Some people might like this, but that badly influenced our nights. The bathroom is huge, but for some reason had one tiny hook for towels. There was a rack above the toilet.. but that's right above the toilet? (Why?)
Restaurant / resting area were great looking. Breakfast and dinner (included) were of good quality making it great value. This really made the stay worth while.

SpainWe had too high expectations for the fika, but it was still good.
The best thing about this hotel is the location if one is arriving to /leaving Karlstad by train or bus, so nice to eat breakfast without such a rush and go across the street to get the train later on! Loved the dinner too.

SwedenThe room AC was a bit noisy; moreover the room did not seem 100% clean. There was some small bug going around, I did not care that much but other people might find it not nice.
I booked this hotel for its strategic position near the city center. I had special needs for an abundant dinner and a very early breakfast (due to a competition), and despite both were included in the price I was not expecting anything special. On the contrary, for both of these the hotel simply exceeded my expectations: the dinner was served buffet, which let me decide the quantities of food to eat (I was honestly expecting something served, that would have meant going out to eat something additional). The early breakfast felt a bit unsure when asked for at the reception (there was the possibility of a bag, which again would have meant problems in quantity/quality of food). Instead, with my big surprise they managed to open the service earlier and I got to eat a (regular) excellent breakfast.
