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.).

IndiaMy check in started at 1pm only but I had arrived at 12 noon. It was fine but It would have nice to let me in at 12 noon into the common areas atleast :-/ It was cold to wait outside. Basically the place locks you out till you a get a pin-code at 1pm.
I was alone....though my room did not face the lake but it was still very nice. It had two open areas with comfy sofas and two massage chairs which I used a lot. The breakfast was amazing. The views were incredible. The fact that you can always have tea , coffee and a biscuits on no charge was really nice. It was only 20 mins walk from centrum which had amazing views. The gold explorer for the northern light do a pick up directly from the house Both ladies at the reception was very sweet.

United StatesThere wasn't much to do in that exact location (e.g. restaurants or bars). I wish they had some snacks available or more front desk hours for us to buy snacks and beverages. The front desk hours are limited not that we were in our room much.
The facilities were great; the views were beautiful. They had an excellent breakfast spread as well. It was easy to get into the facilities and the hotel room. Taxis were also easy to get from the location. City center I'd say is walking distance from the location as well.

United KingdomHosts are not on site all the time, but it didn't seem to matter. I didn't see a kettle in my room, but there are two available, one on each floor at their own station.
Wow, lovely big room, the host likes her decor, she has filled the place with beautiful things. It's a small place and busy, for good reason. The morning spread was also fantastic, catering for the Europeans but also eggs and bacon for me. The nicest place I've stayed so far on my trip. And the view out the dinning room windows...fantastic

United KingdomA message about how to get into the building was sent via phone app a few minutes before expected arrival time - we were not informed in advance that this would be the process and as we did not have the phone on we were left outside the building unaware of how to get in. Door between the bedroom and bathroom would not readily stay shut and the escutcheon had a screw missing.
Ambience and pleasant interior design with a variety of places to sit at different levels, the view, very good breakfast.

AustraliaEverything was perfect.
If I could give this place a 20 out of 10 I would!! It is the most gorgeous place I have been to. The breakfast had a lot of options you could think of, from breads, cerals, hot food, cold meats, fruits, to name a few! The lady who owns the hotel is the most amazing woman I have ever met. She helped me with booking taxi's, getting the bus timetables for me, to even heating up my dinner that I had purchased from the supermarket. There were massage chairs that I sat in for hours as I went in the low season of Winter and there wasn't many people staying there. The views from my room were absolutely gorgeous and easy to view the Northern lights from when they made an appearance. The whole place was so cosy and comfortable, not to mention very warm inside the whole place. There were amazing chocolates on the bottom floor which were also to die for, the bed was so comfortable and soft and I could of laid in it forever. I am recommending Altafjord to everyone I know and I definitely want to come back for Midnight summer.

SwitzerlandDue to the small size, the bathroom did not have enough space to place items on.
Very athmospheric and homely place, our room had an amazing view over the coast line. Our room was huge and cozy, only the bathroom was a bit small, but functional. Amazing breakfast with a huge choice of food. Free parking is a plus. Owner was super nice and supportive. Ideal base for a day trip to the north cape.
