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.).

NetherlandsNot a single point that needs to be better. Really just a good hotel on a perfect spot in the city.
The information given by the reception was great. Told everything i needed to know and a little more. The room had a little dirt on the mirror, but the rest was totally clean. Really enjoyed my stay.

United KingdomDidn't notice anything that needed improving. Didn't try the sauna.
Excellent location for exploring central Helsinki. Right next to the central railway station so very convenient. (Make sure you don't confuse it with the one at the airport.) Steps away from the amazing library. Very clean comfortable rooms with toiletries and coffee/tea making facilities, small fridge and iron in room. Very good breakfast. Left luggage room. Small bar area with comfortable seating and 'book swap' shelves. Sauna. Friendly staff.

Hong KongIf I really have to state some negatives and good feedback. The phone had a huge layer of dust on it, also near the bed on the light fixtures. Could have done with body lotion and perhaps a toothbrush and a toothpaste. Also missed not having a bathrobe to use in the room and slippers.
Why I book this hotel in first place, was for its location which was literally next door to the Central Station where I arrived by train from the airport (28-min. Ride). I didn’t take the hotel’s breakfast as I had other plans. Location was superb. Reception allowed me an earlier check-in and later check-out to suit my travel plans, the staff was amazing, helpful and friendly. I was also able to store my large luggage while I was waiting for my room.

HungaryEverything was good!
Fiorentina, the receptionist not only speaks many languages, she is not only beautiful, not only kind and humble, not only smiling and being externally polite, but she did not even mention that I am early for checking in my room. She gave me the room card without hesitation and I could occupy my room four hours before regular check in time! She also gave me all necessary information I needed. I wish all hotel receptionist would be like her! Thanks a lot Fiorentina! You are the best receptionist I ever met!

Location & friendly staff: Kati Salminen - the manager & Marina, Front Desk reception, were very accommodating. Breakfast buffet was a ‘wow’ for me! We were impressed. All major sites were a 15 min. walk max from the hotel & great to catch the train to the airport right there.

IrelandThe room was average and there was a bit of a smell in the bathroom, also we could not control the air conditioning, the dial on the wall made little or no difference.
An excellent location, right beside the central train station which is in the main square in Helsinki and also beside the fantastic Oodi library.

The location next to the station was excellent and very convenient for the library the art gallery and the concert hall as well as other public transport. Food was good, rooms were clean and comfortable, the bar was open till late with a most delightful woman serving. Staff were pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful. They sold the Helsinki card at reception.

Czech RepublicI would have liked to stay longer!
The hotel is right next to the central train station in Helsinki. So if you take a train from the airport, you walk about 100 metres from the train to the hotel entrance. It is also only about 1 km from the main tourist sights like the Helsinki Cathedral. The breakfast is amazing! It was seriously difficult to choose what to eat and what to skip. The wifi was good, and the rooms were comfortable. And...the hotel had a sauna that was open in the evenings and was free to use. It was clean and cozy and a wonderful experience. There is also a gym, which I didn't use, so I can't comment on that. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

very close to the central station, supermarket, restaurant and attractions, as well as Metro station, bus stations and tram station. If you arrive Oslo central station, you can go out of the side gate next to Platform 18, then turn right and walk 29 meters. The hotel is just on the right side. Very easy to find it.
