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.).

GermanyRoom: 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.
Amazing 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).

NorwayThe building with the hotelrooms for the people with dogs were a bit old and worn down, but the rooms were large and nicely decorated.
The 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.

IrelandRoom while comfortable, a bit tired with peeling paint on ceiling and bathroom. More expensive than other hotels on our trip.
Lovely 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.

SwedenOnly drawback was view directly from our bedroom, really minor as we had great sleep… main purpose… but while it is nice to see the lake, some improvement directly under the windows to hide the mess of the construction may hep. Likely this was fresch, so will improve with time. The highway is close by, convenient but could limit an easy walk around the nice area.. so access, clear direction could help… still we had very good sleep, no disturbance in the rooms all facing the lake… so all good, more improvement suggestions…. a great pitch stop between Goteborg and Stockholm. Last, 😅… really minor details, could improve the ventilation in dinning room…
Enjoyed the time in the restaurant with great view on the lake. The food was very good. The breakfast perfect. So overall very nice stay and easy to park for electric vehicles.

SwedenMore dog friendly seating at the breakfast/dinning area with views.
Loved the views from the room overlooking the lake. It was dog friendly and they placed the bins close to the entrance of the section we stayed at. With bags (if you forgot) There is nothing worse than trying to find a bin after you picked up after your dog. The building and entrance way has a lot of character. Loved our stay (sadly only for 1 night) Breakfast had a nice selection of continental food and their own waffle station. There was also a really friendly gentleman at the night reception. We arrived just before midnight and he cheered us up after a long day of travelling. (Keep him)

SwedenSuper poor and not tasty breakfast, especially for a 4 star hotel. Beds are too soft, unfortunately.
Amazing view, absolutely awesome location and castle experience! Note: if you want a castle experience, make sure you are booking the right room. It is not clear here on Booking. Our room was in a nearby house, we found it out at Check in. However due to super helpful and amazing staff we got upgraded to a castle room!
