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...).

FinlandThe bath room and cleaning facilities were unpractical and poorly equipped. Water from the shower got all over the place. The sink was in the room and without any hook for the towel. Water was spilled to the table also by the sink but there was no wipe. The coffee machine did not work. The cleaning personnel gave us kindly extra capsules and tried to help us with the coffee machine, but we still did not succeed in cooking coffee. Steps to the room on the second floor were steep.
The room was cozy. Breakfast was good. Surrounding were nice. The location was good.

SwedenFelt deceived by what was advertised on booking.com as a ''twin room with river view'. This is only true for rooms on the ground floor if you are tall enough to see over the fixed privacy screens, or if you open the doors (not an option in chilly weather)
Very comfortable hotel room with 2 chairs to relax in. Easy self check-in. Nice breakfast (the warm brown seed top bread was absolutely delicious). There was plenty of room in the free P1 (green) carpark next to the hotel. Can see hotel from this carpark, and also a good supermarket. From the back of the hotel, can walk along the canal to the Binnepad.

SwedenThe initial effort to find the allotted room was a bit confusing, which would be easier if the room information are mentioned at one place. The allotted room was from an outside stairs and not within the hotel stairs, hence it was mentioned separately, which we did not notice easily, although it is mentioned somewhere in the reception and can be found with a bit of looking around :)
The hotel was good, easy to access the room without need to visit any service desk. The hotel had some good parking space available on site and in big parking lot behind it. The location is prime, as it is next to the Giethoorn canal and walking distance to the prime beautiful spots in Giethoorn (e.g. Giethoorn Canal, Museums, etcs.) The included breakfast was also nice and had good options.

DenmarkThere was no shelf in the bathroom for toiletry bags and there was not a reception. There was not much (if any) information in English about the area and attraction and there were no welcome map in the room, so we could see breakfast time, number to doctor, opening hours for the supermarket and other informations.
We loved the location (right in front of the canal). The breakfast buffet was delicious). The "breakfast lady" was very friendly.

United KingdomThe room was very cold and there were no instructions in the room so I only discovered the heating after being quite cold for some time, my fault I guess. The place was very quiet out of season so the bar/restaurant wasn't open in the evening and there wasn't really anywhere close by to have a drink either. The rooms we stayed in opened straight onto the courtyard which felt a bit exposed.
Breakfast was very nice. Bed was very comfortable.

Taiwan1. The room the hotel gave us didn't match the pictures shown as the "standard twin room" and it's on the ground floor instead of the upper floors.(refer to the attached photos) 2. The smoking smell in our room is dramatically strong which was so annoying, and didn't match the condition that listed "no smoking" when I booked the room. 3. The staff came and tried to make the smell better, he used the deodorant, but too much in the room, then our room smelled like the smoke+deodorant, we opened the window and door to try to make it better, but it worked not well, it's frustrated. 4. We guessed room 109 might be the staff restroom before because it's located just right behind the front desk(no staff at the front desk anymore), so it doesn't look like the photos shown in the booking. The hotel didn't put room109 photos on the web (see attached photos). So we thought we'd stay in the room shown on the web instead of the room in the photos I took. 5. The design of bathroom is bad, no drainage hole under the sink, and the floor has a tilt to it, so it's easy to have standing water under the sink.
1. The location is great. 2. Breakfast is nice. 3. The staff is nice. 4. Information is enough for guests before checking in. 5. Self-check-in is convenient.
