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.).

AustraliaThe outside seems dated. They could improve that because it gives a bad impression but once inside everything is much better. Feels lovely.
Breakfast was excellent given that there were only a small number of guests. They still put on a good variety of foods. The lounge deck over the water is a great place to relax with a drink. The rooms are very spacious with a full sized lounge 🙂

IsraelThe hotel need renivation asap. It looks and smells old. No tv in the room. Very very basic room. All doors and windows are very old and worn out. No places to eat after 8pm in Ulvik so you have to eat in the hotel. You just ordered 2 course meal and not free to order what you want. No options. The staff could be nicer and not complain when we ask to clean a table in dinner. Dinner was very expensive for what you get.
Beautiful location on the fjord with balcony. Quiet spacious room. You can rent kayaks and bicycls. Breakfast was nice.

NorwayThe rooms though are of different quality, some are recently renovated and have bathtubs. While others are very shabby and with tiny shower. Not clear what is the logic behind distribution of rooms between guests. One big disadvantage is a smoking area on the main terrace right next to the breakfast are. It definitely should be moved farther away. Dinner is nice, but available only as a dinner package with two courses and a drink.
The view is excellent and it is definitely a main feature of the hotel. Rooms are spacious.

AustraliaThe breakfast and the rooms are very basic. Compared to Australia and Asia it's a three star hotel with five star price. But this is not unique to Strand Fjordhotel, all hotels in Norway seems to be the same.
The location of the hotel is excellent, but like most Norwegian hotels the rooms are fairly basic and old, the hotel needs a renovation. The room we had King Suite with Balcony was roomy and had table and lounge suite. The views from our room was spectacular.

United StatesThe only place open in town to eat. The food was straight out of the 60’s, heavy sauces and overcooked vegetables. They needed to be more diligent checking supplies. Dispenser was out of soap at the sink, and ran out in the shower shortly after - no one was at the desk to remedy the situation.
Staff was nice and helpful.
