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 StatesCan't think of anything! It's not luxurious, but comfortable and good value.
Terrific location, easy walk to shops, restaurants, and the funicular. Beautiful restaurant with simple but good food and nice wines. Room was spare but comfortable, LOVED the heated bathroom floor. You can also walk here from the airport train.

Switzerlandthere is a weird feature if window shutters going down whenever you leave the room and going up when you enter. the sound id loud and unpleasant, so if your neighbors leave or come back somewhere at night you'll be woken up by the sound, if they do it several times, or several neighbors it becomes quite unpleasant.
The breakfast was the best I have ever seen. the rooms are clean and comfy, minibar is well stocked.

BelgiumIt may be an unfair comparison, but we began our trip in Oslo, staying at the Hotel Continental, which was just amazing. This was the only other 5-star hotel we had booked, and although a touch cheaper than the Continental, our expectations were very high, especially has we'd booked a Junior King Suite (compared to a Deluxe Double at the Continental). And although the room was large, to me a suite means that there are separate living and sleeping areas, which is not the case. Also, "king" to me suggests a king-sized bed, but it was just a large double. There was something about the mattress topper too that made it often feel like you were falling out of bed. Although there were power points on either side of the bed, they were hidden under the side tables, which were very low and totally impracticle to reach from the bed. Even with the curtains open, the room felt dark and the overhead lighting was poor. Although the furniture was more or less true to the style of the room, there wasn't a comfortable chair to be found. The "sofa" was a day bed that only offered back support for one person, whilst the lounge chair was low and had little back support unless you leaned back at an uncomfortable angle. And although the bathroom was huge (and the towels nice and soft), there was barely room for personal amenities or any place to put things down beside the bath. The breakfast bar, although well provisioned, had a very chaotic and counter-intuitive layout, which meant a lot of trips back on forth looking for things. I can't say anything was terrible, and overall we did enjoy our stay. I guess it just lacked some of the sparkle you tend to expect when staying at a 5-star hotel.
The hotel building has a beautiful exterior and is perfectly located, close to the harbour and Bryggen area, and in easy reach of the city centre. The breakfast room (also a bar/restaurant by night) is stunning, with arching ceilings and lively frescoes. The hotel room was large, with a huge bathroom and bath. There were fresh flowers and complimentary water, which was a nice touch. The smart TV with built in chromecast was also appreciated. The breakfast room (also a bar/restaurant by night) is stunning, with arching ceilings and lively frescoes. The breakfast itself was OK, with a large selection of foods to choose from. The 12:00 checkout was perfect as we had a mid-afternoon flight, and the hotel is situated around 300m from the terminus of the airport light rail.

United KingdomGloomy rooms, none matching chipped china in the room.
Great location, easy to get to. Standard rooms a little gloomy with dark decor and very high ceilings. We got upgraded to a suite for a good price so ended up with a nice bright spacious room. No kettle, no iron but got those eventually after asking. Reception area equally gloomy but staff were very good. A good breakfast with all the usual Scandinavian fare although some of the pastries were a little stale. On the whole though a good experience and you can’t beat the central location.

United KingdomThe bed & pillow were not as comfortable as others that we had on the trip and I didn't sleep that well both nights. Water wasn't replaced for the second day, so just very small gripes. No milk for tea coffee, but we were given some when we asked. USB chargers didnt work, but the staff provided a plug adaptor. The gym was a little disappointing for a hotel of this level.
The room itself was fantastic, with a brilliant bathroom particularly. Breakfast was lovely in a beautiful dining room. The staff were all excellent.

United KingdomWe had a pretty small room right next to a restaurant. The bed was really comfy, but small detail - the pillows were far too soft, so hard to get comfy. Could have done with more pillows or firmer pillows. There was also no milk for coffee or tea in the room, but the team got me some. Very small things.
The hotel is a fantastic location and the building and decor is spectacular. We loved having a drink in the bar at night. The breakfast was varied and of a high quality. The staff were highly attentive, but not too overwhelming.
