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.).

FinlandYou're out of luck if the elevator fails. You have to drag the suitcase won an old 16-century stairwell, those are pretty narrow. Cleaning was a bit sloppy in my room, there were some papers that were not picked up. They should better indicate that there's no breakfast; what was on offer was less than continental, and you should go to one of the many in the area. Pricy (230€/night), but absolute value for money
It was an old castle of the 15th century, and they had kept as much as possible of the old wall. The location was dead-center (100m from the cathedral), many shops, cafes bars, restaurants, etc., but you did not have any noise of the bars. Safe (there was always someone at the reception; some other 5-stars in Utrecht don't. The rooms had the goose-theme, different levels, different colors. Very thoughtful: personalized welcome card As usual the standard coffee machines, but with 4 cups; they mostly give you two when you're on your own

FinlandThere is no breakfast available at the hotel but we were told that a restaurant nearby can provide breakfast in the room if ordered the night before. We went to look for breakfast elsewhere so did not use this option. Usually I always book a room with breakfast but made an exception this time.
The decor and lights were excellent. Nice style, everything functioned really well. The view to the little square was lovely, the staff really friendly and helpful. A great hotel, can be warmly recommended.

The room is absolutely beautiful. There was a cancellation so they upgraded us to 2 large rooms free of charge. There is a real glass elevator so you can see the city. The staff are super friendly and helpful-even arranged an early morning taxi and had extra easter eggs for the kids on easter monday.

PolandThe only problem in the room was the desk. There is very little space for the chair which makes sitting comfortably quite hard.
I liked this hotel a lot, even their basic room was fantastic. And they have an elevator which isn't very common in the city centre of Utrecht! Plus the room smelled amazing.

NetherlandsThe room was clean, although the interior design probably makes it harder to keep it properly clean. A couple of silverfish were trying to escape from the tub in the morning. Keep in mind that not all rooms may be fully accessible with restricted mobility.
Very good location, overlooking the Dom church and a main square. The room was a suite, featuring a lovely and creative interior. The bathtub in the room is a definite plus as well. Beds are not massively spacious, but not a major issue. Room was nice and dark at night and the amenities are flawless. Staff in the downstairs poky lobby were very courteous and able to accommodate requests at short notice.

United KingdomSolar-Powered Heating System: While we admired the hotel’s commitment to sustainability, the solar-powered heating system presented occasional challenges which created unexpected moments without hot water between showers. A heads-up about these potential issues from the beginning would have been appreciated.
Our recent stay at the Mother Goose Hotel in Utrecht was a delightful. It in included several standout features that made our stay special. 1. Thoughtful Birthday Package: The staff at Mother Goose Hotel offered a paid package that included a delicious cake and balloons which my wife really appreciated. 2. Central Location: Situated in the heart of Utrecht, the hotel’s central location facilitated easy exploration of key attractions and an array of brilliant restaurants. We enjoyed the convenience of being just a short walk away from the city’s vibrant offerings. 3. Spectacular View from the ‘Black Goose Floor’: We were situated on the ‘Black Goose Floor’ and we were rewarded with a spectacular view from our room. The breathtaking scenery added a special touch to our stay. 4. Hanging seat: Our room came with a swing chair which was fun to relax in and take in the view.
