Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

BelgiumThe breakfast had a wide range of choices and the staff worked very hard, BUT: they were too few or lacked some organisation, as the food waited out for hours in the buffet, and became less fresh as the breakfast hours passed. It needs to be refilled more often, in smaller portions, and the hard-working staff could be need one or two more persons during the busier hours.

United KingdomNothing.
We stayed here for 2 nights last weekend and loved everything about Lysebu. It was an early 50th birthday present for my partner and I asked if there could be a bottle of champagne in the room. There was a bottle of Moet on ice ready for us when we arrived. Our room was gorgeous, we had a lovely view over the forest towards a ski slope from the huge windows and woke up the first morning to lots of snow, it was magical. I am vegan which I had already made them aware of and had a delicious 2 courses for dinner and a breakfast made especially for me. They had soya, oat and coconut milk available. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, with special mention to Parth on reception who was so patient and helpful with us when we were trying to work out our journey and times from the hotel to Torp airport (we had to leave the hotel at 5.30am for the metro and train). The hotel was decorated ready for Christmas which made it even more special and we hope to come back one day. Loved it.

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, upgrading our room for us when we arrived earlier than expected. The swimming pool, sauna, and gym were excellent and clean. We have never had such a fantastic selection for breakfast, or eaten it with such a peaceful view. incredible !

United StatesThin walls but then I'm a light sleeper.
The hotel is very charming. It sits high above the city and the area was quiet. The room was a good size and comfortable. The walls are rather thin so noises from other rooms were heard but if you're a sound sleeper there shouldn't be a problem. Lounges were available for visiting, the main one with a lovely fireplace. It has a pool and spa, all well equipped. The staff was most helpful and courteous. The breakfast was exceptional. A really good place to stay in the city.

United StatesThere was not an elevator in the hotel and we had to go up a few flights of stairs to get to our room with all our luggage. The room also had a few stairs in two spots so we had to be very careful to not fall down the stairs when moving around the room.
Very nice room and bathroom with nice view. We were able to eat in their restaurant even though it is normally closed on Sundays with almost no one else and at a window table. Very good breakfast. Parking was free. The hotel was surrounded by woods so that you felt like you were in the countryside instead of in the outskirts of Oslo.

The hotel is located rather at the surroundings of Oslo, but therefore it is much more affordable than hotels in the city center. The train station ist not far and tickets are easy to get via the vy app. The breakfast was great.
