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 StatesThe bed was too soft for me, as we are used to hard mattress.
Location was excellent. Staff was lovely and breakfast was great. They left coffee and pastries for the guests all day. We had a lovely time. We were in a suite and the top floor, but we were fine as we live in a walk up at home also.

This is a wonderful hotel. It is over 400 years old but has all the needed modern conveniences. The breakfast is wonderful, the staff is outstanding, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the experience is memorable. This was my second time in this hotel and I will always book it when I am in Stockholm. It doesn't get any better than this.

United KingdomWe were hoping for some fish in the breakfast buffet (being in Sweden), which we didn't get although there was plenty of meat and cheese. The bathroom is pretty small but that is to be expected in such an old building. There is a beautiful old cellar with seating which was a little too cold to sit and enjoy.
Great location in the heart of the old town and only a couple of minutes walk from the Metro and the commuter ferries to local islands. The hotel is medieval in origin with wonky walls and sloping floors - full of character and quirkiness - traditional Swedish decor. Luckily we were on the first floor as there is no lift and the staircase is narrow and winding. Probably not a good hotel for the less mobile. Breakfasts were a cold buffet served by super friendly staff. A home made muesli was delicious. An added bonus were the free coffee, biscuits and home made cake left out all day in the dining room (which also serves as a quaint café in the summer months). If you love old hotels full of architectural character we suggest you book early as there are only six bedrooms.

SwedenThe curtains are very light-transmitting, street lights are on whole night, which makes the room not dark at all during night. It could be a huge problem if you stay here in summer when the sun rises veyr early in morning. Beds are too soft.
Good location! Breakfast is standard European style, not fancy but with good quality materials and a cup of freshly made coffee, and definitely love to wake up with the smell of bread baking coming from downstairs. There are also some snacks and fruits you can get in cafe all day. Staff is friendly and helpful, though they are not always there, everything we needed and asked for were taken care of. Everything in this building is ancient (except the toilet with Floor heating), steep and narrow stairs, sloping floor, Cracked beams... that's what the hotel featured for, if you are looking for a place morden and chic, it's not what you should choose. And avoid stay on Fridays and Saturdays if you are sensitive to sounds from nearby pubs, nights on working days are quiet and cozy.

United Arab EmiratesThe shower temperature is not hot enough for me. Breakfast selection could be improved. Rooms are old and need some renovation, bathroom is very small. But its not too bad.
Staff were kind, helpful, and very nice! Compared to other properties in Sweden. I emailed them a few times before our stay as I had some questions (about covid pcr testing and NYE offers), and they did recommend what I didn’t find on google, there’s a nearby covid test lab with online bookings, and there’s a nice restaurant for nye dinners which still had a spot. This information really helped us! The location is excellent! in the centre, 5 mins to metro. Very nice old building converted into a hotel, nice big room, but needs some renovation so don’t expect a luxury new building. Staff at breakfast are very kind and helpful. To be fair, the staff make the property so much better! i would definitely recommend this place but not for long.
