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):
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.).

ItalyThis was nice, the hotel was recently renovated, judging by the fittings. Big room with big bathroom, very quiet, plum my room had a microwave, kettle and fridge! (Available in the communal places also), plus a sauna and very early breakfast, it is more oriented toward business client as is opened in the Weekend on request, but still very nice hotel!

FinlandThe breakfast serving time was 7–9 am, which we felt it ends too early. However, the staff were flexible as indicated above. There was no freezer in the room. Also there were no plates for warming food in the microwave oven.
From the outside, the hotel wasn’t too impressive, but from the inside, no complaints there. The breakfast was exactly as others have mentioned in reviews: varied, many things to choose from, tasty. It did worry us that the bowls and pots in which the various things were in were quite small, and between two people we quickly emptied a small bowl containing some sort of a fruit salad. But it looked like they refilled them eventually as well. Breakfast was served 7–9 am, but some people joined breakfast at 9 am and it didn’t look like they were not hurrying to put the breakfast away: quite the opposite, the staff said that they will bring more. Rooms were clean, roomy enough, and the bathrooms were clean as well. One thing we maybe hoped there could have been more was things to hang clothes to dry from. The curtains did make the room effectively dark (enough) at night despite it being the brightest time of year in the middle of June. Some street noise was heard through the window, though. We don’t know if there was air conditioning or not, but there was a powerful portable fan provided in the room. The room also had a normal-sized refrigerator (not a tiny one), microwave oven, water kettle, and some tea, honey, instant coffee, creamer, sugar, hot chocolate powder, and mugs and spoons. The checkout time was at noon (12:00), but the staff was quite flexible with that (maybe this applies only during less booked times). Checking in was also arranged well during times the reception desk is not staffed. We only stayed for one night, and we didn’t check the pool or the sauna.
