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.).

FinlandVery good location next to the castle, old town and sea. Nice, clean and cosy room. Really great and varied breakfast. Nice sunny terrace and bar. We forgot to book parking in advance but luckily some lots were available in reasonable price nearby. Kalmar is very nice historical town. Televison (which is not self-evident in Sweden). Very peacefull after 21:30 when the bar was closed. Good beds and billows.

We loved this hotel. The room was large and vintage. Bed and bedding was comfy. Shower was interesting but good once you figure it out. Outside bar area is great with heaters and blankets. Breakfast was fabulous. Great location beside the train station and castle.

SwedenWorst was they forgot to refill the bottle of shampoo, not nice to realize it in the middle of a shower. This should be part of cleaning procedures. We had prebooked parking but it was all ocuppied when we arrive. Cars with no permit were taken the spots. Obviously not the hotels fault but still annoying since we had to unload bags and walk a bit far. Breakfast buffet was full of flies everywhere.
Location was perfect. Could not get closer to the castle and also 5 min walk to centrum. Nice, antique, cosy house. Very comfortable beds.

United StatesWhile clean, the hotel could benefit from some TLC including newer/deep cleaned furniture, paint refresh, etc. The interior of the hotel felt a bit dated and shabby.
Cute older hotel in a great location to walk to old town Kalmar, Kalmar Castle, and other sights. Delicious breakfast and tasty free dinner as well (although dinner is not served every night of the week). Quiet hotel with large room and comfortable beds. Pretty garden and nice patio to sit outside.
