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.).

United KingdomUnfortunately the place needs a lot of work. It's pretty clean despite lack of new furnishings. The bathroom could be a little cleaner, and may benefit from a proper shower tray. I suppose it's a work in progress.
Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Amazing, looks like a postcard.

BelgiumThe stuga of 30m2 was very small for 4 people especially as we had to stay in most of the time because of the very bad weather. No comfortable sofa or couch to relax or read in. The view was supposed to be ‘garden facing’ which was almost true but you also had the view of an opposite hotel and parking site with people walking by (and little privacy in the stuga bathroom). If you can, book the appartment with lake view! Catering was quite pricey.
The location of the hotel by the lake is amazing. There is a small beach and a bigger, public, sandy beach a few meters away. There is a 4 km walk around the village which is highly recommended. The place and village were very quiet. The sauna and jump in the lake were nice. Helpful and friendly host Joakim.

NetherlandsIt was a little bit tight for the 4 of us when eating and cooking inside in the kitchen area, but if the weather is good then the outside eating area is very nice.
The cottage we stayed at was very cute and clean with comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful right on the lake with a sauna, BBQ and rental kayaks all available on the property.

NetherlandsWe liked everything about the Smålandsgården. Comfortable, nice room with proper armchairs to sit & relax, good view to the lake and garden, a balcony, good bed, good shower. And best of all, with its own personal charm, away from the standard chain offers. We only stayed for a stopover night, but it deserves a longer stay. Perfect for a getaway.

GermanyDuring summer the restaurant only offers barbecue with potatoes and salad in the evening. Other options can be found at Gränna, 20 minutes by car. For those who need it: the rooms do not have TV (but WiFi)
Superb location at the shores of lake Ören situated in a very large garden with private pier and beach. Totally quiet at night. The rooms are located in a historic building where the floors do make some noise and the elevator is fairly historic as well. Rooms are rather spacious but with limited storage for clothing

NetherlandsIt's not really clear which room/cottage/cabin you're booking. Once you're there you see what you're having
Loved my room. Stayed 3 nights, first night stay I did not like (small, worn out). Could change to a large room with terrace 2nd day, which was exactly to my wishes. Evening meal really perfect and tasteful! Good chef! Location very good for my dogs, they could wander into the lake and easily get out

GermanyWe really loved the place more than expected. It was just an overnight stay on our way to Aland but we will defintely come back for a longer stay. The room was cosy, the whole property is made with taste and a big heart! Very nice breakfast and dinner in a kind of family environment. My partner asked for some veggie Dinner and without eye rolling or discussion she got a tasty meal as well. Nothing what we missed. Next time we will try the sauna and hot tub and maybe have a swim in the lake! The Place is like a photo calendar dream!

SwedenThe room was old-fashioned and dark. There were no facilities to hang out as a family so we ended up hanging out in our studio room. I think it was too expensive compared to its value. Plus, my mother-in-law tried to get help from the staff and she ended up seeing them making out and got unpleasant answers when she asked a question after that. We are not against love or something but I think for the sake of professionalism this is not something you expect to see so much in the service business :)
I liked the beaches. It was perfect. I think it was the manager who was the most attentive and helpful. We stayed in a studio room it was quite spacious. My dog had so much fun there.
