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.).

AustraliaUse of plastics, paper and disposable cups, cutlery and plates. In such a pristine location it just seems wrong. It cheapens the whole experience.
Great old style lodge accommodation right on the Chena River.it's quirky and eccentric in an Alaskan style with stuffed bears and antique artworks. Ideal for seeing northern lights - you even get wake-up calls when they are dancing across the sky. Free breakfast (although basic) is filling and an easy start to the day. Much nicer than the corporate hotels in the town.

United StatesWe were there to see the Northern Lights and were surprised how many lights were kept on during the property at night. Not sure they would've been visible to us because of it?
We didn't wind up trying the breakfast, but it looked good.

AustraliaRooms were dark as the heavy curtains were needed to keep the warmth in with only lamp lighting. Great location as I stated but as its a good distance from town there are no other restaurant options to easily visit without a car. Kitchenette with full size fridge and microwave but no utensils, cutlery or plates.
A very "Alaskan" lodge with character. I stayed on night in an "Aurora View" room prior to a three night stay in a comfy cabin. Comfortable common areas and the theatre room showing an old but interesting Aurora doco was good. Breakfast basic but suitable. The restaurant/bar a walk across the parking area was good. Great location not far from the airport and free shuttle. If the aurora was showing it would be a perfect location but alas cloudy and snowing when I visited.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have less lights outside when trying to see the Aurora. The hotel makes it seem like it is geared to that, but it really isn't
This was a convenient location to the airport. Breakfast was pretty good, although they do not have enough seating to accommodate the crowd. We enjoyed the ice cream in the late afternoons

United StatesEverything about Pikes Waterfront Lodge was fantastic. This is the place to stay.
Breakfast for good. There was a nice selection and nice breakfast room. You are even able to see the Aurora on clear nights from the hotel, which I did in March. They will call you to let you know if it is visible so you don't have to wait . The rooms are nice and beds are comfy. The location is convenient. Nice restaurant next door . We ate their twice in five nights. They have a nice selection at reasonable rates. I can't say enough good things about this place. It was much much then I expected. A true value for the rate.
