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 reviewThe View to the Lake was beautiful. The breakfast was very good.
Some power sockets didn’t work, and it wasn’t very clean. Below the bed was a book from previous guests.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, high above the lake with amazing views. Our room (123) was beautiful with a parapet balcony. The food was good.
The staff in the restaurant were a bit grumpy and there wasn’t much effort at ambience. Food was fine though. Stairs to bedroom and no help with luggage. Older guests take note.

Verified reviewWe loved the food and the atmosphere at the restaurant Sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the view and the sunset. The room was large and clean. It had a mini fridge. The bathroom was newly remodeled, but not huge. The beds had really comfortable mattresses making for a good night's sleep. We had a great stay. The location was perfect for a visit to Gränna. The breakfast was included. It was nothing short of fantastic.

Verified reviewStaff, glorious view.
The property may have been grand in past but is now About 20 years overdue a full renovation; certainly it is no longer a 4 nor 3 star hotel by any European standard, sadly. Aside from the facility itself, design, furnishings etc, we found spiders and spiderwebs in corners of room (not cleaned in months…), peeling stucco from ceiling, and finally rooms in 3 separate buildings (not clear at booking)

Verified reviewAmazing lobby of the main building - it is an old castle with all associated decorations. Good breakfast with many options. Clean and convenient room with all needed stuff and enough room for a 1-2 nights stay. Parking is free and always available, you can park your car immediately in front of the room. Hotel invests into new infrastructure - there should be a fountain, sauna and some other outside activities. Lovely access to the lake with beach at Gränna town (you have to drive there 10 minutes).
Room: there is no AC and not enough ventilation making it too hot during sun time. Open windows do not help in the evening as windows are facing west and dawning sunlight hits directly to the room. Restaurant: food and service quality does not correspond to the price level. Maybe you have to pay double price for having a dinner in the old castle, but in this case one should expect much better quality of food. Reception: we were refused to be checked in a little bit earlier than 3 p.m. We arrived 30 minutes earlier driving several hours and had to wait in the lobby. Outside: there is only a workout space, but no table-tennis or other sports. There is no access to the lake, despite of the pictures provided in the profile. The hotel is located very high uphill, if you want to swim in the lake, you have to go to the Gränna‘s public beach.

Verified reviewThe main hotell building was beautiful, and the dining room with the breakfast was stunning with beautiful paintings and a beautifully decorated ceiling. The breakfast was very good and there was a beautiful view of the lake. It was right next to the old village of Rötle with the charming red houses and pretty gardens a pretty waterfall and an old mill. It was also just a few minutes with car from the pretty town of Gränna, and Brahehus slottsruin.
The building with the hotelrooms for the people with dogs were a bit old and worn down, but the rooms were large and nicely decorated.

Verified reviewLovely setting with great lake views. A touch of a medieval feel about it. Free parking so ideal if driving. Just outside Granna & near Rottel waterfall. Nice dining room with small dinner menu. Fabulous sunset from dining room. Food was lovely. Lake view from bedroom, tea & coffee facilities and mini bar.
Room while comfortable, a bit tired with peeling paint on ceiling and bathroom. More expensive than other hotels on our trip.

The gym wasn't great but I can understand as there's so much to do outside that you wouldn't really need the gym.
