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.).

Our room was room 2 and it was awful.Bed was very uncomfortable.The room is upstairs and it is tiny and tight.If you are tall it’s not the room for you.The room was very hot and the ac didn’t work well.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that room 2 did not meet your expectations. As mentioned at the time of booking, this is our Budget room - the most affordable option we offer. It is smaller in size, and a small window, which may not be suitable for all guests. During your stay, we experienced an unusual heatwave, which may have made it feel like the AC wasn't working efficiently. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort this caused. Regarding the bed, we appreciate your comment - a new mattress has been ordered and is expected to arrive next week. We value your feedback to help us improve.

Verified reviewThis is a lovely property, spotlessly clean and easy walking distance to town. We highly recommend the bakery across the road for breakfast for their delicious baked goods.
We did find the bed too hard and the pillows too soft for a comfortable nights sleep, but everything else was well thought out.

Verified reviewSelf check-in went smoothly with door key code sent to me shortly before I arrived. Room was minimalist -- Danish Scandinavian style in keeping with the theme of Solvang -- but also very clean! Great for a one-night stay. As a single older woman traveling alone, I felt safe ... and the location was great for walking around and going out to dinner on my own.
Mattress was not very plush -- totally comfortable, but again: Scandinavian simple.

Verified reviewOur room was two rooms with two tvs. Perfect for traveling with kids. Clean and the beds were comfortable. Located right in the center of Solvang with restaurants right across the street.
Nothing that I didn’t like. I happen to be a smoker and there was even a cute little gazebo set up just for smokers.
