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.).

NorwayNothing much. It is a bit older hotel, so of course there is some worn out. Nothing really bothered us as we had all what was needed. Clean, tidy, comfy.
It is a nice hotel of a known chain in Norway. We knew what we can expect. It was a very nice breakfast, possibility to use a pool and sauna. There is a gym, but we didn't use it this time. Walking distance to the Hurtigrutten. Bus stop just in front if you are travelling to the airport.

United KingdomNothing really.
A one night stay in Kirkenes. We arrived quite late so only got to sample breakfast - which was very nice with a good range of food. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The hotel staff at reception were very pleasant. I'd certainly stay here again if I was passing.

AustraliaNothing at all, very comfortable and enjoyable stay…Northern lights from our hotel window was a fantastic surprise.😁
Kirkenes is a lovely little town and Scandic is close to main square and the surrounding houses. Not far from the Hurtigruten Port and was a great place to stay for one night pre-cruise. We could have happily stayed longer 😊A taxi from the airport with the lovely Rals, a walk around town is easy and educational. Scandic restaurant was very good, delicious seafood chowder and breakfast was astonishingly copious in variety and quantity. We enjoyed our stay very much.

United StatesHotel was great but we needed gluten free and there didn’t appear to be a choice for that in the restaurant for dinner. Breakfast wasn’t a problem. However this was the case for most of the food we could find online, so not unique - just a heads up. We ended up with things for dinner from the nearby Joker.
This was a great little hotel in the center of the small city. Our room with twin beds was plenty spacious and it was a real bonus having a bathtub with amazing hot water. WiFi was good. Breakfast had a variety and was delicious - plenty of good coffee. :) As we arrived by ferry, we were there too early to check in but it was easy to leave our luggage in a big locked storage room and wait in a very nice lounge area before an afternoon activity. Normally the bus stop from the harbor and to the airport stops right by the hotel - but we arrived the night of a sled dog race into the city center, so the bus was re-routed to stop on the Main Street below the hotel about 2 blocks away. I would absolutely stay here again.

FinlandToo little staff by the reception desk during busy moments. There was only one person and it seemed that this person was responsible for the reception and the bar. We were waiting to buy some drinks to our room because there is no minibar in the room. But there was a note in the room saying that guests can buy drinks from the lobby. We waited by the bar but no one came because there was a big tourist group at the reception. We got our drinks from the local shop which is next to the hotel.
Excellent breakfast, good location close to everything and quiet room with comfortable beds.
