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.).

FinlandSomehow for that price I expected a little bigger room with little bigger bed. Also I didn't find any available sockets near the bed (or, have to choose to unplug the lamp...), small leak from shower, that wasn't an issue at all but makes it look cheap for the price paid. Not easy to reach when coming by walk.
The view from the room and restaurant is incredible, perfectly clean room, comfortable bed. I loved the bathroom too. Breakfast and that amazing home made smoothie that I could have drank all by myself.

United KingdomThe hotel is around 25 minutes walk from the city centre which is not an issue but, because of this, it would be better if the food selection in the hotel restaurant was more varied. I would have liked to have eaten in the restaurant more frequently but as the choice was limited it was disappointing to eat there more than once during my stay.
I've stayed at the Alba for over ten years and I really enjoy staying there and will return. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and, on this occasion, I was upgraded as they noticed I was staying for a long time. That was a very nice surprise upon arrival.

United KingdomWe requested lake view rooms for the two people staying but this was offered to only one of us, which was a disappointment.
The range of food for breakfast was very good and the views from the restaurant were excellent. There were plenty of tables, allowing people to distance from each other. Despite the outside temperature being very low (-20C), the hotel was warm and comfortable.

GermanyIt required some extra efforts to get an official bill for the sending institution (for a business trip).
The hotel is nicely located at the lakeside and close to the university campus. The train station is still in walking distance (20 mins). The hotel has complimentary bikes that can e.g. be used to cycle around the lake.

PolandBreakfasts are of terrible quality in comparison to the price range of the hotel. You could eat it okay but there was little choice and nothing especially tasty :/
The look from the windows and the private sauna are the best things about this place.
