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.).

NorwayThe restaurant was holding a Christmas party so only Julebord was on offer the night I stayed. I was not informed about this at booking and was looking forward to fish and chips! However I was offered something from the menu of another property nearby, and have it served in the restaurant.
Lovely welcoming and helpful staff. Lovely warm room. Location great. Really comfy bed and my room was upgraded before I arrived, to one with a really nice view of the harbour. Good local beer. Good breakfast selection, even though I over slept and missed the serving time!

United KingdomCould be a bit cheaper but it’s Norway and not many options in this town. It was good that it was only 70 m from the town hall and party.
Breakfast was good and a great view from the balcony. Only in the hotel a very short time as straight out to a birthday party until late.

DenmarkThe view from the room was just a wall of the neighbor house
Everyone was telling about the great views, but our room was with a view of a wall, which we had not expected. I don't know if the price reflected this or we were just unlucky.

United KingdomHotel was let down by Booking.Com as we had booked two nights in a room with a terrace. On arrival the room was not available on the first night due to poor booking practice by Booking.Com. The Hotel staff were able to move us to the correct room for the second night and refunded us the difference.
Fantastic location with an extensive breakfast. The hotel staff remembered it was my wife's birthday and gave her flowers. :-)

United KingdomThe only hotel in Tvedestrand, so not much choice. A nice hotel for its price range, though, and I'd be happy to stay there again and recommend it.
Absolutely fantastic staff: friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. I'd go again just because of them (although the view from the balconies is also amazing).

NorwayRoom and restaurant decorations and feel didn't quite live up to expectations - and what such a historic hotel could have offered. Nothing wrong, but not spectacular either. Bathrooms ok, but rather basic.
The location is splendid, both the view from rooms and the restaurant, and the hotel itself is picturesque seen from the outside.

AustraliaNothing. It exceeded our expectations.
Excellent hotel and very helpful and responsive staff. We sent them a query prior to our arrival as we were seeking connection to our family history, not only did they respond but also briefed and organised a connection with the local librarian who also assisted us . Great restaurant & bar onsite - excellent tasty local food. Rooms facing the fjiord with balcony was an unexpected bonus to watch the setting sun. Friendly and personable locals, pretty town on the banks of the fjord and reaching up the hillsides. Would highly recommend!!!
