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.).

QatarNeither of the two (male) staff members offered to help me when I was struggling with two flights of stairs with 3 bags! Curtains and walls are quite thin, so ear plugs and eye shield recommended.
Hot powerful shower, underfloor heating, spacious rooms and common areas, spotlessly clean, amazing views from my sea facing bedroom and the communal balcony.

IrelandWe couldn't fault our stay at Svingen Guesthouse. The house was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Kitchen facilities were great and all facilities were perfectly clean. Rooms were great too. Location was excellent and one of the best in Flåm, in our opinion. It made our stay in Flåm so relaxing. Special mention to Joe for making us feel so welcome - we loved your company! Thanks for everything.

DenmarkThe walls were too thin, had difficulties sleeping as the guest next door was snoring. The room smelled weird, but it was bearable, not sure if it was the incense or if the previous guests had smoked in there.
The house was cozy and had a spectacular view of the fjord. The toilet, kitchen, and other common spaces were spick and span. Had a wonderful time talking with the hosts too.

United KingdomI would recommend that a sign for the guesthouse is put up outside as we walked past it and had to Google the property to make sure we had the correct one.
Just returned and we loved our stay here! We usually stay in hotels so this was a little different for us but when I was looking for accommodation in Flåm I spotted this and so glad I did! Our room overlooked the Fjord and it was such a stunning view. The guest house itself is immaculately clean and it genuinely feels like you have stepped back in time as it’s been renovated so well with beautiful furniture. The shared facilities for us weren’t an issue- we never needed them when anyone else was using them. Joe recommend the floating sauna which is just outside the property and it was one of the best things we need on our 2 week Scandinavian trip! It’s also just a couple of minutes walk along the fjord boardwalk to the railway station.

It is incredibly beautiful both inside and outside. You really don't want to leave such places, and when you leave, you want to come back.
