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.).

ItalyThe room cleanness should be improved. In our room the sink was clogged. We informed immediately the reception, they apologized but, in any case, we had to stay with the sink clogged. We would have expected a compensation at the check-out.
Very good position, with possibility to book private parking slot under the hotel. Good breakfast although the food should be covered. We experienced people heavely breathing and coughing on it (COVID hasn't taught anything). There's an in-house restaurant.

BulgariaCant think of anything at all...even if I was to nitpick....oh...if I have to nitpick, I wish the ashtreys on the outside were changed more often....ouch...not very gracious of me to make the comment. It's a lovely hotel - just book there!
Its my second time in the hotel. I would say it is near to where I needed to be but in Arendal everything is near....Lovely hotel. Fab without being pretentious, breakfast to die for (best we've had in Norway), views are fantastic, rooms uber comfy. Bath is spotless and well heated...All in call - a winner on all fronts. Oh...and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomI had a room with stairs to the bed. I perhaps didnt notice this when I booked. It was OK but may be an issue for some. The restaurant menu is a little limited but there are plenty of places to eat in Arendal
I have stayed at the Tynholmen many times. It is an excellent hotel and very well positioned. The breakfast is excellent and the staff really freindly. The rooms that overlook the fjord are amazing

NorwayThe door was broken and was difficult to get locked. We also had problems with the TV where not all the buttons worked and we couldn’t use our chrome cast. The bathroom solution was hopeless: the whole bathroom got wet when we showered, sliding door instead of the usual door (not alot of privacy.) It wasn’t particularly soundproof and there was a boat which crossed and made a lot of noise
Good breakfast, comfortable bed, lovely views, good location

NorwayParking was taken care of upon check-in, but on the 2nd day had to come back and talk with the reception again as it wasn't working. Got a rude Front Desk person saying I had to come and talk to them before parking the car, when in fact I just had to call the number to open the door (if everything was according to procedure). Most serious is not having had an apology for the trouble of having tried to call the number several times, after tried to call the reception without reply, and finally reverse my car from the daunting ramp to ask politely to open the door - and being confronted with the not so polite Front Desk. Breakfast was also falling short of my expectation for the brand. Have stayed in Stavanger and Bergen Clarions, I was kind of spoiled by the breakfast quality and variety. In here, although I understand that might be a slower location, still the breakfast had much less variety, as so for quality in general. Noticeable in the pastries and plating (mostly stainless and porcelains - others had cast iron and fancier stuff!). Hope it helps! Wifi - OMG! Just fix it please. It really sucks and you can tell why people are all over the main areas of the hotel with their laptops. My room (306) just didn't had a stable connection to perform a simple teams meeting. Asked for service, what was promptly available, but that nothing fixed.
