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 only glitch was my early check out. I had pre-arranged with staff to check out early and collect a breakfast bag to go, but there was nobody at reception in the morning, with about 6 people waiting to check out. A bell at the desk would be useful.
Clean and comfortable, great location. Good breakfast buffet. Friendly staff. Also loved the building and styling of the room.

SwedenThe bathroom was a bit worn-down and could have been cleaned more thoroughly. My girlfriend was uncomfortable with the smell in the room. The same smell was even more noticeable when we passed the kitchen while walking out on Strandgatan. We noticed that all of Visby was very slippery when we visited you, but we would still urge the hotel to do something about the slope leading up from the guest parking area up to Strandgatan in wintertime! It was very hard for us to drive up to Strandgatan from the parking area - one of us had to stand guard up on the road while the other one drove the car up the slope in a speed which hadn't been safe without the assistance of the other person. Both the car and the winter tires were bought brand new in '22, so I'd suspect that other guests had problems as well last weekend - unless their car had four-wheel drive and / or winter tires with spikes. As a city dweller, I don't buy tires with spikes anymore - the only time I've experienced any issue with my tires is at the hotel's parking area last weekend! I fear an accident could happen very easily, so staff should take head!
Nice staff, excellent location, good breakfast, comfortable beds

SwedenIt is outdated to a large degree. The carpets are repaired with duc tape in some places. Furniture is damaged. The soap in the shower was diluted with water, the toilet not cleaned properly. In the public bathrooms downstairs there was not paper or soap …so sad

Czech RepublicThere should be no mold in the shower. And the toilet waste in the middle of the room, right in the bedroom of room 161, is the sad story of this room.
It is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place. The staff is perfect, kind and welcoming. The hotel is a beautiful building, a beautiful reception and bar and an incredible number of rooms. It is ideally located in the historic part of Visby. The breakfasts are excellent and tasty.

FinlandBreakfast could be better quality wise. Medieval festival week stay price is insane. Not to the hotel but to town public transport: Despite airport is just 4 km off the town walls, Be prepared that first bus to/from airport is late in the morning. Check the schedule. The town is very short of taxi. So, you are on your own getting to/from airport.
We've got early checkin. Room was exactly what we've asked (top floor sea view bath tub). Good quality wifi but not encrypted. Sound isolation excellent. room climate exellent. Front desk person drove us to airport with Visby town short of taxi, which is exceptional service.

ItalyOne day cleaning was skipped. I had to go to reception to say as much and ask for more toilet paper. The latter item wasn't brought to my room, so I had to ration.
Beautiful and comfortable rooms and prime position. Excellent breakfast with a wide range of choice. Shout out to the excellent member of staff who warned me that the suitcase my airline had delayed was finally delivered for me at the hotel. She made sure to inform me as soon as possible.

SwedenCleaning standards. Lack of details to make the stay more pleasant.
I seems staff was not very professional or used to the hotel. Some facilities looked old or not up to Clarion standards. The cleaning routine was really bad, rooms were not tidy, not even replaced the used glasses. Breakfast ok but no details or any charm on it, also no coffee options just “conference” coffee. Spa in the other hand was excellent and very helpful staff. All in all, I was expecting more for the money.

Swedenasked for a big bed and they were 2 single beds put together, but they would move apart easily during the night cause they were very light weight beds. Too soft mattress for my taste. The spa was very nice, but sauna and changing rooms need more attention between guests cause they weren’t cleaned and there was a lot of oil on the sauna seats and hairs in the showers. The fireplace wasn’t on, which could have been a plus for a cozy autumn vibe.
it was a very nice stay in general. the hotel was super cozy and looks very authentic. Very good breakfast with a great variety of items. The staff was super sweet and helpful. Location is great, easy and fast to get by foot from the boat. very central and close yo everything. the room was silent clean and had a great view.
