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...).

NorwayVery comfortable bed.
Great location, just 2 minutes from the train station. Nice italian restaurant as the nearest neighbor. Very comy beds, friendly staff. Good breakfast for 90 SEK. I recommend this hotel. If you book economy room bed sheets are not included, but you can rent or bring your own. I upgraded. :)

United KingdomMy room could have been a bit warmer, I needed an extra duvet at night, and the shower drains smelled a bit weird.
Really easy to get to from the station, central, clean, and as it’s part-hostel, there’s a great communal kitchen available for use with a kettle, microwaves, fridges, freezer and cooker, next to a little dining room, which they kept clean. The staff were really welcoming and helpful. It was very quiet. Comfy beds. I would stay again.

NorwayReception not available for quite some time during weekends, which is weird. They give reason as COVID but that is a bygone cause to be honest.
The location is very central... near the Central Bus Station, Train Station and the Shopping Mall/Stores/Restaurants. Also liked the fact that they have a guest kitchen with lot of appliances.

NorwayThe bed maybe??
A centrally located accommodation for a cheap price. Very helpful and nice staff. This is not really a hotel, but more like a hostel. The room was small, with a bunk bed, but with a small bathroom. They offered breakfast and linen/towel for an addition in the price. It was also possible to use the kitchen. PS It is located above a shopping center.

SwedenElevator was very small and a bit scary. Beds didn't feel clean. Kitchen area was not very cosy (someone also stole our ice packs, but not the hostels fault). The "terrace" was actually a pretty sad carpet balcony turned into a smoking corner.
Location, practical kitchen, value for money.

SwedenThe hotel is in need of renovations and the room was quite spartan with a very small tv. However, we did choose the second cheapest room, so what can you really expect.
The hotel is situated quite nicely downtown, making it easily accessible. The staff was really friendly and helped us upgrade to a better room.
