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.).

AustraliaWe found shower over bath quite ridiculous - bath extremely high to climb into with no support bars and shower screen is useless so water gets all over the floor ( if not for the shower situation would have given motel a 10 ). Not suitable for anyone with any mobility or back issues ( unless some rooms have better shower ??)
Comfy bed , excellent location , very helpful staff .

United StatesThe less expensive room I slept in was small, dark, and claustrophobic. The breakfast was chaotic, understaffed, and running out of things like milk, butter and granola.
The hotel is in a beautiful, old building in a perfect location. The heart of the hotel is the large room with murals, which serves as restaurant, bar, hangout place, and lobby (as the actual lobby is quite small). I stayed in two different rooms (at two different price levels) and they were like night and day. The more expensive room was lovely, light, nicely decorated and I place I was happy to return to after a day of exploring the city.

United StatesThe initial booking mentioned a city view which had almost floor to ceiling windows. The room which we were assigned did not match the photo as it did not have those windows but I had booked thinking we will get those windows. That being said the hotel staff assigned me another room that was the same size but had very high ceilings / windows and a large bathroom for the same price. View was not bad.
Breakfast was great- location also perfect.

United StatesThe room was tiny and the window was tiny and located in a recessed area. You had to stoop down to reach the window (which is why I put post-it notes to remind me, so that I wouldn't hit my head again). The window was very tiny but at least I had a nice view.
The breakfast buffet was lovely and in a gorgeous historic room with a high ceiling and beautiful painted arched panels depicting commerce in Bergen, since this building was originally the stock exchange building. My room had a window toward the harbor, which was lovely. The staff at the front desk were very nice, informative and friendly.

United StatesWe had a hard time trying to get the room temperature under control. They had fans which helped, but it was pretty sweaty at night in the room. We stayed in early July.
We had a bigger room that was actually two separate rooms off a hallway door. The beds were comfortable. The location was good. The restaurant staff was friendly and took us out after hours to another local bar.

United StatesCan get warm in the room since no air conditioning but Bergen only gets hot a few days/weeks of the summer. Breakfast buffet was nice though often times not fully stocked and tables not cleaned quickly to allow next guests to sit (I believe they may have been short staffed though). Parking is quite far away but no real need for a vehicle anyway
Beautiful hotel in the heart of Bergen city center, can walk to many places. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was also very nice

United StatesThere is no parking on premises, and it is a bit of a walk to the garage they recommend (which felt especially long in the cold rain!). The room was never quite warm enough despite our adjusting the thermostat. No view to speak of (people working in offices in windows opposite our room). Felt very $$ for this US traveler.
Very posh and comfortable room/bathroom. Steps away from the harbor and main attractions of Bergen. Breakfast was delicious and so enjoyable in the beautiful Fresco Hallen. Staff were hospitable.
