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.).

United StatesThe breakfast was very crowded; hard to find a place to sit; they should make the breakfast area larger, if they always have so many people dining there in the morning. It would also be better if parking was free.
The breakfast was good, but very crowded. The room was comfortable. It is a good location in the city. I liked the Fitness Center; it was adequate and I enjoyed my work-out there.

Good location, you can easily visit the surroundings, and also easily access to the local restaurants with the different flavors. Rich breakfast can be enjoyed. You can use the sauna for free in B1 floor

FinlandHaha, this time the view from window was a bit prison like - only a wall next to it, but one night stay wasn't for view watching so it didn't matter.
This is my favourite hotel in Oulu. It's spacious, easy parking and good location. Especially the quality and variety of gluten free products at breakfast is better than in other hotels and I've been to many of them. No cardboard and styrofoam in this one. The overall quality of everything is very good, including the bedding, beds are really comfortable in all room categories, I've been to standard rooms and suites. It's worth taking a bit more expensive room from here than a cheaper one from some other hotel, for the over all experience.

FinlandTo my experience this the only hotel in Oulu (and have stayed in all Oulu hotels) that is not providing normal user-friendly hairdryers. You cannot even get one from reception. Since I do not want to keep mine with me in all trips, I will definitely avoid staying here in future. Another issue was booking a taxi. A reception lady politely advised me not to bother them with advanced booking, since they always have ones in the front yard or booking can take just a couple of minutes. Appeared not to be true. As a result I left the hotel 10 minutes behind my schedule.
I was provided with a quiet room as requested.

RomaniaThe room was cold and the heating was cut off globally (I deduct, the radiator feed pipe was always cold whatever the thermostat setting); There were 2 other persons complaining that I knew off and the reception personnel did nothing. On top of that, the windows do not open so a central venting system was blowing cold air at random times without any possibility to stop it or to make it warm; Nothing healthier than an unavoidable cold breeze on the back of your neck after a hot shower :)
The room was big, good bed and big bathroom. The breakfast was very reach and well organized (spacious setup with good access to all varieties so you don't have to wait).
