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.).

CanadaSome of the breakfast items seemed to be old and stale. The hot items were lukewarm. The bread was good and there were enough variety overall, though.
Walking distance to train and bus central, old town, Kalmar Castle etc., but on a quiet picturesque side street, and with a beautiful court yard. The room and bathroom was nice and big.

SwedenA special place with its own atmosphere. Free snackmeal weekdays. Nice bar on the first floor overlooking the castle and museum - they changed furniture so the comfu sofas are gone and replaced with standard chairs. But the view and atmosphere are great. The Annex is simple but with all facilities - good value for money.

DenmarkThe checkout time was a bit early, although this is made up for by having a very late check in time. The reception was not always manned so the wait there was a bit longer than you'd normally expect as well.
The breakfast included in the stay was extremely nice, the staff was very understanding and explained anything that may seem confusing, and even though i personally had one of the cheaper rooms it was still very clean and comfortable. I'd also like to note the nearby historical and cultural sites for anyone interested. The hotel is, as the name implies, right next to Kalmar castle, which is absolutely a must see if you're nearby. The hotel is also not too far away from Kalmar läns museum, which offers an equally impressive historical journey.

SwedenIt was a bit stressful that we had to pre-select a time for the breakfast, with two small kids you dont want the stress of hurrying to the breakfast in the morning when you're on vacation. The TV in the room was very small.
Family room was simple but comby bed and met our expectations. Great location and very nice common area where we could sit and have tea and biscuits for free.

United KingdomHaving to walk over the road to the hotel or breakfast. It happened to be clear when we were there, but if it had been pouring with rain or snowy and slippery, I would not have been pleased. I know it's budget, but these things should have been made clear in your advertising. I also noted that access for disabled people would be difficult My real complaint is that it was difficult to sleep because of the intermittent sound of an engine running somewhere. It was NOT the lift. It sounded more like a washing machine or tumble dryer

United StatesWe didn't stay in the main hotel , it was an adjacent plain hotel with simple rooms.
The location was just down the street from the Kalmar Castle, the main building was elegant and they served a light supper of soups and breads when we arrived, all free, Then the breakfast was very good with a large variety of foods and actually had bacon and eggs and pancakes!
