Score breakdown
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.).

A four star hotel with a Spa closed on Mondays and closed everyday in the morning? It sounds quite weird but it might have something to do with the low conjecture. The hotel was understaffed. The lady at the Bar/restaurant, Frida was working alone the whole Sunday evening/night. It is not acceptable, serving drink, food and cleaning at the same time. The area was dirty and all tables full of glasses and bottles. She could not do anything better than she did. Management want to save money but there is a limit when it comes to service.
Its a brand new hotel so still fresh. The room was good. But hotels are not just the concrete or the building. Hotel are done by people, by staff, service and experience.

Sadly, during the night, there’s s constant and fairly annoying sound of dripping coming from condensed water from the floor heating and/or AC. For us, when everything else was calm & it’s dark, and you keep hearing this dripping sound every 10-15 seconds, it felt really hard to sleep. We informed the staff about the experience after our first night, and they said it’s a known situation and recommended to turn off the floor heating. That did not help unfortunately. After the second night, they mentioned it may just as well be the general ventilation system, but turning that one off isn’t great either as the windows cannot be opened. So that part impacted our sleep quite significantly and it seems there’s no solution to the problem.
The hotel offers a beautiful room and we really loved their breakfast buffet. It was super generous and delicious.

It was a little to hot in the room, we had the ac on 20 which was the lowest you could set it. Need to say it was a heatwave with over 30 degrees
It was new, modern and a cool locale.

Refused to let us enter our room even slightly early though it was available and empty. The view from the room was very bad. Swimming pool can’t even be considered a pool
Beds were comfortable, the smart TV in the room was good. Everything was also pretty clean and the breakfast buffet was excellent

- • Solo traveller
- • Compact Double Room

The neighbourhood does not offer much distraction or entertainment and the connection to downtown has limitations. The bar at the ground floor closes rather early (not much later than 10PM) so hanging around is not really an option and there are not that many bars outside of the hotel.
The hotel is located close to and at walking distance of the Science Park, on the North bank of the river which is opposite of downtown Gothenburg. The hotel is recent build attached to the iconic Klaratornet tower, a landmark visible from far. Very friendly staff from reception to other areas. The rooms are very clean and sufficiently spacious, like the bathroom, a good and comfortable bed with a pillow that doesn't collapse when to lay you head on it. The location suffers from construction works all around and the connection to downtown is limited during evening and night hours when the ferry runs reduced or no schedule. A taxi ride back is approx. 35€. Buffet breakfast with ample choice fo everyone.

The staff was extremely helpful and professional. We were in Gothenburg for a basketball tournament for our daughter but she was not feeling well the first day and at very short notice we contacted the hotel and an extra bed was put in our room so she could stay overnight with us. During our staying in the room though we heard a clicking noise that couldn’t let us sleep well, but the day after it was no problem to change room Thanks to everyone that made our stay nice. The breakfast buffet was top-notch !

The pillows available are either too big or too small. When we asked the reception for a 40x80 one, it was not possible. On the 4th floor there was a light, rhythmic noise from the ceiling which was a bit disturbing in the night. On the weekend the breakfast is great but a bit crowded, on Monday they started cleaning up the breakfast at 9:30, which is a bit too early imo.
Super friendly staff, reachable with public transport, no direct parking but parking lot with reasonable price nearby. Very nice TV.
