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.).

United StatesNo one was at the reception when we arrived so it took a little while to check in. But the biggest issue was the noise at night, if you are a light sleeper the nightclub next door is loud!
The location was great and the rooms were nice, the breakfast was good as well.

United KingdomWe were at the front of the hotel and there was loud music playing outside until the early hours of the morning every night - even Sunday. We were right above the restaurant so could hear tables and chairs moving first thing in the morning. The restaurant only does pizza. We got margaritas and it was like very expensive cheese on toast.
The reception staff were really friendly. Bed was really comfortable. Rooms were nice with a little welcome treat. It is in a brilliant location.

SwitzerlandIn summer there is « lawo terrasse », which is an outdoor place with loud music until 3 am. If you close your window, it’s all fine, you don’t hear a lot. But then if you want to turn on the climatisation, it makes such a noise, you can sleep. Therefore, if you stay at the hotel during summer and it’s sunny days, you might feel hot.

United StatesEven though we booked a deluxe king and were told we were upgraded to a junior suite, the room, while furnished at a high quality, was not very spacious. Though we had a sofa, coffee table, and two chairs, we had little room to open our suitcases and still maneuver our way around the room. Closet and drawer space was scarce, so the sofa and chairs got mostly used as clothes racks. (That being said, I think it's generally hard to find spacious rooms in Norway, and we were overall happy with our stay and would recommend the hotel.)
The location is excellent, across from a park in the center of the city. The rooms had quality furniture and bathroom products. Our room faced into a central atrium and was very quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good, and included a specific section of gluten-free products (made my celiac husband happy).

AustraliaRoom cleaning seemed to suffer from a staffing shortage. Rooms often cleaned after 4pm. Across 5 days we went 2 days where the room missed cleaning because we were not prepared to camp on reception waiting for the room to be be cleaned.

United KingdomWe stayed for 6 nights and was disappointed that the only storage space for clothes was a wardrobe with about 5 hangers, no shelves , no draws at all in the room so it meant living out of the suitcase. The safe was situated on the very top shelf ( only shelf ) of the wardrobe, it was impossible to see inside , had to stand on a chair in the room to view if we had cleared everything out when leaving, very poor and no thought put into the siting, surely a health and safety issue? The light switches were also incorporated as dimmers , might just be us but they seemed to have a mind of their own when using. The automatic water control on the tap is annoying as it turns off too quickly Was told on reception on first day that the hotel did not do English breakfast tea which we thought was strange as at breakfast on the first morning there were loads available at the buffet breakfast.
Location is perfect to explore the city, very walkable, lots of very good places to eat and drink although as expected Norway is definitely at the top end of pricing. The room was modern and appeared to be recently refurbished, good quality fixtures with an excellent roomy bathroom with a large wet room shower. Bed was large and comfortable, room was reasonable in size but not overly big, adequate though. Air conditioning was very efficient both in cooling and heating the room A very unique area of the hotel which has a rich history of entertainment and culture with some superb art work and sculptures throughout the hotel, well appreciated by ourselves. Breakfast was of a buffet style and was excellent with lots of choice, very well staffed and maintained, an excellent start to the day. The staff were brilliant from beginning to end , lovely people - Thank you so much Really appreciated the hot sunny weather you ordered for our stay , Oslo is a lovely city with plenty of culture , history and quality museums. Overall an excellent Oslo holiday at an excellent hotel that completely suited our needs
