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.).

SwitzerlandRoom looked shady and old, bathroom cold water was not working. For 50£ less it would have been alright.
Coffee was available in the room. Nice location for going out in Stavanger, close to city centre.

PortugalWifi didn't reach my room, also had to check in by the bar, and the workers had forgotten to open it at 17h as described. No elevator either, and the bathroom floods when you take a shower.
Quiet room, comfy and clean bed. Right next to the Stavanger harbor, so great location.

LithuaniaDIRTY. Very dirty. Layers of dust everywhere, mold in the bathroom. Smells bad is the corridors, rooms are fine (with an open window). It's very loud at night, but we had ear plugs:)
The location couldn't be better, we had a nice window view. Staff is very friendly, checked us in a few hours earlier, answered all the questions we had and in general were super sweet! It was vary thoughtful to provide guests with ear plugs! Thank you! Little TLC and this hotel may convert in a very decent one:)

IcelandThere was no WiFi in the room I was staying - the room 28. I came for work purposes but I had to spend time and money in cafes after the meetings just to have WiFi. There was some hair in the shower drain still from the previous guests. I was staying for 4 nights but only the towels get changed and trash taken, but there were no refills on soap or toilet paper, so I bought it myself. Finally, I support the idea of not washing the bedsheets daily, but when I asked the house keeper after 3 nights of sleeping in +28 room temperature if I could have them changed the answer was no.
The simplicity and flexibility of checking in and out. The size of the room was good.

AustraliaThe bathroom had no toilet paper, no soap in dispenser, the wifi didn't work, the entry stairs to bedrooms were worn and filthhy, tv didn't work and no one was in reception to deal with issues.
The location was excellent, close to Port and town centre. The room was clean, bathroom also clean, beds very comfortable. Towels were replaced daily. We are tea drinkers but only one teabag not replaced. This is an inexpensive hostel type accomodation , convenient to food outlets and the old town If your looking for a little more comfort this is not for you.

CanadaHaving to wait over 2 hours in the rain for any sort of staff to open up. Most places have staff around not just for check in but to let you store your bags. Just general repair, this place needs some TLC .
The room itself was comfortable and the location was useful for getting around..

Czech RepublicOK for a sleep-over. Nothing extra. Check-in as of 5 pm in week days, until then there's nobody. It is obvious they do not really worry about the condition of the room (TV with sound if you "play" with the wire but gives no picture, heating system and curtains torn off the wall). The kind of accommodation you use when you get out of prison (having in mind the Shawshank Redemption movie). Not what I expected for the paid price.
Great location by the Stavanger port with restaurants, bars, shops, etc... Wifi was good though

United KingdomThere is loud music from the bar downstairs which stars at 9 pm nonstop until 3 am. Earplugs don’t help much y particular when drunk people is going up and down talking and laughing loudly. FYI Sundays too…… Curtain are not blackout so be ready to have sunlight in the room permanently. Bathroom floor is completely broken and looks dirty, an used aid-band came up with the flow of my shower. There is a kettle in the room but I really feel like use it.
