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 reviewOnly the paid parking was the only good thing I can say.
Oh, where do I start... We have been traveling as a couple for almost 8 years with a broad range of experience, and we seldom write negative comments but this one was worth to warn future guests. The price was 7-8 times more than what we experienced the place to be worth. The "how-to-open" door was way too complicated. Who puts 11 digit codes to the door with extremely small buttons? The window, despite the room having sea view, was way too small and we could experience nothing fancy. The breakfast window was not so welcoming. 1.5 hours felt a bit too awkward between 07:30-09:00. We were there at 08:10. There were also only a few items available to be eaten. It was not so fun when we had to share the last piece of cheese with 4 other guests. We looked at each other awkwardly. And nothing got renewed. The so called fancy coffee machine was a total a rip off. Latte was a brewed coffee with milk. Like what??? Also, who puts out raw eggs? All the guests, including we, took the raw egg to be boiled but it was totally raw. As we got to know, there were previous guests wished for raw eggs. Then what about boiled eggs? Nope. No boiled eggs. The owner of the place or whoever designed the place has either never seen any other hotell in their lifetime or too stingy. Nothing was usual. I wouldn't have made such comment if I hadn't paid over $130 for a single night. But I warn you, unless you pay 20 bucks a night or less, this place is not even remotely to be visited.

Verified reviewThe hotel is clean and the location nice and central.
What I didn't expect is to find no reception (it's all managed via code keys etc) and that the rooms were brutally small

Verified reviewBreakfast good.
Very compact room expected and ok in principle. Room stupidly designed - pointless fold down table under tv restricted access to the window side of the bed. Bathroom super compact but OK design.

Verified reviewIt was very clean and in an excellent location, very convenient to restaurants and shops with views over the sea. Keyless property operated by codes. The kitchen facility was very good. Coffee was also available all day.
I stayed for five nights. There was no change of linen and no offer of clean towels. The rooms seemed to be cleaned only when the occupant left. Breakfast was fairly good but repetitive. More fresh fruit would have been welcome.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent.
Completely automated. A code on the phone to get in, a long code to enter the room or to lock it when leaving. The room was very small, the bathroom smelled of mold, the room was too warm, so we had to open the window and thus exposed to street noise and mosquitos.

Verified reviewPerfect location in the middle of the city. Breakfast was great.
Public parking was a rip off which is detrimental to the accomodation. If only an agreement between the guest house and the city was made, maybe guests could park for cheaper at the nearby parking lot using a sticker on the windshield or something.

Verified reviewWe liked the room (for 4 guests) although the one we were given 3 years ago was bigger (we were then impressed and wanted to come back!). The location is terrific, couldn't be better. We love Västervik
The room for 4 people could have been a bit bigger, like the last time we stayed at the hotel. Apart from that, everything perfect
