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.).

United StatesNot sure where we were supposed to park. Finding the hotel was difficult. Some other guests took the hot water tea kettle so not available for us to use at breakfast.
The location was very close to the central part of the town. Nice water pressure in the shower. A view of the spires and rooftops from the bedroom window.

United StatesThe rooms are one story up under the rafters so some places in the room were not for tall people.
Location was great and the building had lots of character. There are only 3 units so it was quiet except for loud kids walking by on the street occasionally. Located within easy walking distance to main square, restaurants and shopping.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like about the guesthouse.
Den Gamle Købmandsgaard was located close to the train station in Ribe, which was great for us, as we were travelling around Denmark by train. We arrived later than we had said, but Johnny was fantastic. A quick phone call and he popped over immediately to greet us, show us around our lovely apartment and explain how breakfast worked. Our apartment had a shower room with toilet and wash hand basin, which was very welcome after our long day travelling. There was a area for relaxing and reading or watching TV and another for eating breakfast or any meals, plus another for working at a desk. It was a beautiful character apartment - just be careful not to bang your head on the sloping ceiling! There was a wonderful, huge double bed in the bedroom, which was super comfortable and we slept so well on it. At breakfast, we met the other guests in the other two bedrooms. There was plenty to eat with rolls, cheese, jams, along with eggs and bacon to cook. It was a shame we had to take our breakfast back into our apartment to eat, but it gave us a bit of privacy and space to plan our day. This is a lovely family run B&B and we met Johnny’s wife and daughter in the morning. They are lovely, friendly hosts, interested in their guests and so happy to help. We wish we could have stayed longer. Ribe is so beautiful and the guesthouse is well situated for exploring the town. Thank you for a lovely stay.

NetherlandsVery friendly host, decent breakfast and the location is absolutely perfect for day trips! For those who wish to visit Ribe for the Viking Center - be aware that there is a Viking museum, AND a Viking Center - both are at different locations in Ribe! We actually went to the "wrong" museum, but enjoyed ourselves very much nonetheless.

United StatesEverything was great.
There are three rooms. We had the suite which has a separate bedroom, two other separate living/dining/work areas and a small en-suite bathroom. The large bed was comfortable. The windows have vents so that air can flow without letting in too much light at night. There is also a portable fan, which is a nice edition for the summer. Breakfast for each room is placed in the refrigerator in the common area. It is nice as the guests can eat on their own schedule. The bake your own bread was particularly delicious. The WiFi and TV worked well. The location, just on the edge of the city center, is great. It is a very quick walk to all the sights. But the area is very quiet at night. Johnny is a great host.

SingaporeEverything was perfect!
We had a charming stay in a historic setting in Den Gamle Købmandsgaard B&B in Ribe. Our cozy room (with the centuries-old wooden mill wheel in the ceiling), friendly owners Johnny (and his daughter, Katja) were so hospitable. The simple yet delicious breakfast made for a delightful experience. I would highly recommend staying with Johnny et al, for exploring Ribe's medieval streets and attractions.
