How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation couldn't be better for travellers without a car, situated right between the bus station and the old town centre. Very comfy beds and quiet. Helpful staff, with a 24-hour reception. Breakfast was a good standard breakfast, but fresh bread rolls instead of just toasting bread would have been a welcome addition. Would come again.
All good.

Verified reviewThe hotel is very well located in the center of the city, the rooms are comfortable and clean (although a little bit outdated ) and breakfast was okay. For the price paid it was a very good experience. Anyways, I would go back here if I'm traveling in the area.

No ac - trees gave shade so balcony door could be left open for the day.

Verified reviewVery good location. Staff were really nice though!
Rooms small and minimal unfortunately (mine was 68 on the 5th floor). Only one pillow, extractor fan not working, furnishings tired, bedding needs updating. Breakfast was again mediocre, I'm sorry to say, but decent amount of choice to fill you up ready for the day.

Verified reviewBarclay exceeded my expectations. We got a spacious room on 5th floor (4. kerros). It faced to the quiet backyard in shadow of the beautiful woods on Toomemägi. So the room was quiet and fairly cool despite hot weather and we were able to keep the windows open all night which allowed us very good sleep. Good breakfast buffet and friendly staff. The hotel is situated in the old city and a few steps from restaurans, cafes, shopping centers and bus station. Excellent price/quality ratio.
The lift was a bit slow but worked well. The Finnish Kone ❤️

Verified reviewLocation was perfect and room was clean.
The staff was very inflexible regarding parking. After checking out I asked if I could keep my car there for 30 minutes but that was refused, saying they needed the space for new guests. At the same time, check-in was 2 hours away and when I arrived the previous day and asked regarding parking, they said they don't guarantee anything. The interior of the hotel was also a bit outdated.
