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 reviewIt was the third time staying in this hotel. Breakfast has a nice variety to please everyone. Rooms are very well kept and clean. Bed is surprisingly comfortable and so are the pillows. Staff was always helpful and nice.
Not a downside per se, but the breakfast area is relatively small so it does get quite busy at certain times of the morning and might be difficult to get a table at peak times. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

Verified reviewBreakfast was fabulous and room was always very clean. We had nice and cosy bedroom which was suitable for us. The location is quite good, nice neighbourhood, it was around 20-25 minutes to the city centre by foot. Hotel personel was polite and helpful especially housekeepers were always very smiling. As a result we liked the hotel so much and I can suggest everyone who try to find convenient hotel in Stockholm.

Verified reviewIt was a very pleasant stay and the price is pretty reasonable for the quality! 1. Hotel is located in a calm and nice neighborhood. It's about 15-20 minutes from the train station, so it was comfortable to get there. And about 40 minutes to the old town which is also fine. Metro station is also really close, so you can speed up :) There are many supermarkets and stores close to the hotel. 2. Staff was super nice! Thanks to the cleaning lady and to the lady at the reception, so welcoming and lovely! 3. Room itself was very good, we had enough space, the bed was comfortable, and we had everything we needed including free water bottles and tea with a kettle. 4. Breakfasts are incredible! Super delicious pancakes (crepes), scrambled eggs, sausages, meatballs, herring, smoked fish, ham, cheese... Wow! Thanks :)
I have only 2 complaints. 1. The shower was not very comfortable, as it's not a classic shower or bath, you literally have a hole in the floor where all the water goes (and it's not a room for people with disabilities), so you need to be extra careful so that water goes there exactly, otherwise you'll swim in the bathroom as the water will cover the whole floor :/ However, we managed to do this without issues, but it was tough. 2. The lady at the kitchen (the one who's serving omelettes and stuff) was super rude. I understand that sometimes people can drive crazy, but it was not nice. But still, these things are not so significant, as other things were wonderful :)

Verified reviewGood value for money but you pay with location. It is further out from the old town but is still walkable to the new modern city. Breakfast had a wide range of choices and suited our preferences.
Nothing, the location comes with the price.

Verified reviewWe had a lovely stay! Big shout out to Louise at the front desk who was just wonderful and went above & beyond to make our stay memorable. We had a standard double, and quite frankly the room looked like a dorm room outfitted with ikea furniture. The furniture & curtains were quite drab at first, but grew on us. The beds were stupendously comfortable & awesome comforters & pillows. There were big windows & one that opened which is rare in hotels & we enjoyed the fresh air. The bathroom had a nice big shelf for toiletries & nice big towels. Louise brought us awesome robes for free after we asked for some; note that generally you must rent them. There was enough sis e to hang things, but barely room for one large suitcase to open. We had 3! To solve this we asked to remove the desk chair & moved another big chair near the door so we could configure the suitcases so we could leave their open to live out of them since there were no drawers. It worked out in the end. The restaurant is open until 11 pm which was fantastic b/c we got in very late & ate there. The staff was great & service excellent. What the property lacks in ambience in the rooms, it makes up tenfold in service. The location is on a quiet street between 2 T stops & from it one has a lovely 15-20 minute walk along Birger Jarlsgarten (a nice shopping spot street) straight to Nybrogarten (pedestrian street filled with fab restaurants & stores) and the waterfront. 2 stops from central station so very easy after taking express airport train to the City.
Rooms were spotless but no style & standard was small.
