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.).

The closeness to the harbor and right in town. Ferries are right there also. The young man at Front desk was exceedingly friendly. His name is Mats and he was wonderful. He was very personable and showed genuine concern for us. We had driven 10 hours and were very hungry and tired. He found us a restaurant that was open on Sunday night. He is what customer service should look like.

DenmarkRoom was dimly lit despite plenty of lamps, and I could not find a possibility of increasing the light - but then I did not ask the staff about it either. Lack of space for luggage and no cupboard to put your clothes in. It is alright though, I guess, for a single night for a single person.
Amazing staff, comfortable bed, decent workspace, good breakfast, very clean, small but nicely designed bathroom.

NorwayPaying for parking. I needed to borrow a charging cable for my electric car, charger in parking lot doesn't have a cable. Charging stations in Kristiansand don't have cables, you have to bring your own. Would have been great if hotel had a cable they could lend to guests

NorwayWe were tired after the last ferry from Hirstals and after a long drive from Germany. The lady at night reception could be more precise and patient while explaining how to get to the hotel parking lots and payment. However, the gentleman who worked on the morning shift was very professional, thorough, and flexible and made us feel welcome (I had the same opinion about him during my previous stay on July 23.). Besides the unpleasant check-in, everything else was good.

United KingdomI fail to see why this is a Radisson Blu hotel. Radisson are my first choice of hotel brand and I prefer the Blu hotels because they tend to be nice, modern hotels. In fact, on their website they describe the Blu brand as 'stylish and elegant' hotels. Well, this hotel is neither stylish nor elegant. It's a weird layout and old fashioned. Our bed wasn't at all comfortable which was another disappointing aspect. I definitely wouldn't stay here again.
We booked this mainly for the location as we had an early ferry crossing from the nearby port. There is limited parking outside the hotel for a fee. We arrived mid-afternoon and got a space but it was already nearly full. The hotel is within a few minutes drive of the ferry port and it's also within walking distance of the harbourfront and town. There's plenty of places to eat / drink nearby. Our room was clean and a decent size. It was quite mild temperature wise during our stay but the room was quite warm - fortunatley the windows open so we were able to get some air. Breakfast was ok, very busy but they managed it well. Enough options for vegans which is one of the reasons I like Radisson because they do ok with this. The staff were helpful and friendly.
