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.).

CanadaHollow wooden floors so hallways noisy with foot traffic. No USB ports in common areas or hotel rooms. Very few electrical outlets in common area. It was built before cell phones invented so not a complaint really, just a heads up. Lots of variety for buffet breakfast. No restaurant for lunch or supper. Down the steep mountain you go to eat in Lillehammer. 12-15 min down, maybe 20 minutes up with a full belly!
5 minute walk to xc ski trails. Very nice sauna. Free coffee in lobby.

United StatesThe mini donuts, coffee, and the scrambled eggs were not good. The beds were a little too soft. The stadium lights were on late into the night, and then the building sidelights were shining into the windows, so we had to shut the blinds to block out those lights. I really don't like sheet toilet paper.
For the breakfast: here was a good selection; I would have liked pancakes one of the mornings; salmon on Saturday was a nice addition. For the room: we used the heated bathroom every day to help our clothes dry; we liked the bulk soap dispensers. We enjoyed having a sauna on site! Staff were always friendly and helpful. It was great to be able to walk downtown.

PortugalPerhaps those long, not very colourful corridors you've got to go through get to your (therefore) quiet room. A shuttle service from the train station to the hotel wouldn't be a bad idea
The attention, kindness and care of many if not all the people at the reception - everyday, not just when they moved us into a bigger room because I had to put my mattress on the floor (their hard beds being too soft for me) -, the breakfast, definitely the breakfast - opulent, excellent - and how it was more than decently clean

NorwayNothing to mention as such.
Birkebeineren Hotel & Apartments was a good stay. We visited Lillehammer with our friends and family and stayed there for one night. We asked for our rooms to be closed to each other which Birkebeineren Hotel & Apartments fulfilled. We loved the room. it was cozy and comfortable. The hotel has a lounge which was nice and cozy where you can sit and relax with your family and friends. There are board games for children as well. Breakfast was good and had a lots of options and variety. In all, it was a decent and lovely stay.

DenmarkWe stayed in the older part of the building and the rooms could use a bit of an update, aditionally you can hear every person who passes or even walks through the entrance door.
The building was beautiful and had a great view / location within nature. The newer part of the building was really nice and the breakfast was absolutely good. Especially the quietness was very pleasant.

NorwayThe only problem was that the heater wasn't functioning properly in our first room, but this was quickly rectified by the staff when we notified them of the issue. Overall very satisfied.
The staff were very helpful and upgraded us to a better room when the one we originally booked had a heating issue. The location was also nice, good parking facilities and a nice common area to lounge in in the evening.

United StatesAmazing value with some great amenities. The rooms are simple and clean. Nothing fancy but that’s just fine. Because the location is a bit uphill from the Main Street, it’s very quiet. They even have free laundry. Their lobby has a lot of snacks and drinks for purchase and great hang out areas. And to top it all off, breakfast was also great!
