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.).

SwitzerlandThis place, but also every other place in Norway, has a very peculiar concept of "two separate beds". They put the beds together, with a single bedsheet spanning both. Not a big deal for me, but this can lead to awkwardness if someone actually needs two separate beds.
There was a room accessible to all guests, with two comfortable armchairs and a view to the fjord. Just amazing place to relax in the evening. The breakfast was very good. The owner was very quick to respond and accommodating. Well communicated by busses with the city center (with long distance coaches to other cities), the airport and ferry harbour and the Alta museum.

SpainThe room is really thoughtful with the Guests needs. Great bed and linen, radio, reading lights, cloth hangers, cosy sofas, heated toilet flooring and delightful views. Breakfast has everything you could need in the morning. The breakfast staff is really attentive and it makes you feel at home. It is the perfect small Hotel to give some quiet time to yourself and have a nice and deserved rest. Thank you very much for the Manager's and Staff hard work.

South AfricaThe team went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. It was so appreciated to have friendly faces greet us every morning and be able to provide advice on how to navigate the ever-changing Arctic Circle weather. The views were incredible and we lucked out waking up to snowy vistas in the morning and being able to see the Aurora from the comfort of glass enclosed lounges at night. We also got incredible insight into the wonders of dog sledding being able to follow the guesthouse owner as he took on the Finnmarkslopet. Big bonus is having delicious hot chocolate and coffee on tap! Thank you for a great stay!

FinlandThere is no elevator so big luggage can be a bit difficult to bring upstairs. As typical for Norway, there were no bidé in the toilet.

GermanyWe got a very nice room with a lot of space and a nice view. The hotel was very supportive and helpful for several arrangements. We still had snow outside and a lot of ice below the snow and on the stairs up to the entrance, making using the stairs a bit risky. Removing the ice from the stairs would make it safer for everybody.

SingaporeIt is a beautiful guesthouse. Unique deco. We take taxi outside the airport. It is near driving. The guesthouse is not near town but not far either. Can walk, maybe half hour. Can walk to a petrol kiosk that sells burgers and others.. The breakfast spread is very good! The owner also pack breakfast for us for our early activity and departure. She is very accommodating. The room is good size for 2 people. We saw a small Aurora here outside the house. Heavy snow still at end of March.

We stayed for one night and felt completely comfortable – 10 out of 10! The room was very clean and exactly as described. Breakfast was a real highlight, with a stunning view of the fjord, a rich selection, and everything fresh and delicious. The host was extremely friendly – we had a lovely conversation and received great tips for the area. It was our second time here, and we would come back anytime!

ItalyThis hotel is unique for so many reasons.. it's in a very quiet and peaceful place (mind you that Alta center is quite far if you move by foot.. around 30 minutes to reach the famous church). The walk to get to Alta center is quite pleasant so I suggest you try it at least once; if you prefer taking the bus instead, there's a bus stop not too far away. In front of the hotel there's the beautiful fjord, watch always the sky as the northern lights might appear right above the hotel (look at the picture). The room was quite comfortable but a little cold despite the heating system; I chose the fjord view and you could admire it from the room. The bathroom has a heated floor and the bed has a nice and super warm duvet. The hotel has no spa however there's a sauna in a shared room. The breakfast buffet has many options (salmon, other fish, even gluten free gallets, gluten cakes..) and everything is really tasty.. I appreciated the wide choice (really superb.. you can easily skip lunch after such a beautiful breakfast). There is a free beverage machine you can use throughout the day and there are 2 free massaging chairs too (you can sit there admiring the fjord). This hotel deserves a 10 however the tenant is quite hostile towards clients: the hotel is full of signs of prohibitions regarding smoking and check-out that has to be done in time. I actually can understand those however I would have liked to see some welcoming signs too. There's no reception service basically!! There's a little range of hours where you can find reception and for the rest of the day there's none. I expect from a hotel that reception service has to be assured for most of the day. The buffet closes at the time (9:30 if I remember correctly) and if you are seated already you can't take any more food -> I understand there must be rules about breakfast times, however there should be some flexibility.
