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 Arab EmiratesThe WiFi was very inconvenient, it required re-logging in with username and password literally every 10 minutes. The microwave door metal net seems to be damaged. I’m no expert, but it looked like something that could potentially cause a radiation leak, so it might need attention

Reasonably priced accommodation in a great location for exploring the local area. Frequent local buses in all directions on the doorstep. Good quality supermarket on site. Great little cafe serving unlimited breakfast The staff team seemed to be small in number but they were well motivated And I loved the coffee from the machine on the landing

I had enough time for security checking for my flight @6:20am. The airport bus FB65 stops at the front of the hotel.

NetherlandsThe location is not very idyllic, on a parking lot above a supermarket. It's convenient when coming from the airport. Ålesund city is about a 10 minute drive, which mainly consists of two 4km tunnels that are pretty steep. For me that was a bit of a threshold, staying in the city itself would make a quick stroll or coffee easier.
I stayed at the regular hotel (above the Kiwi supermarket) from 8-10 August and at the mini motel, a separate little building with cheaper rooms, from 24-25. The rooms are decent, the cheaper ones are quite small with little room to store your luggage, but the beds are good (the motel beds cannot be put together to make a 2-person bed, though). The breakfast is included in the hotel, optional to buy for 159 NOK as motel guest and avaible until 9:30 am on weekdays, 10am on Saturdays and 11am on Sundays. It's pretty good: bread, croissants, fruit yoghurt, pancakes, cheese, fish, meats, lots of spreads, three kinds of eggs and the possibility to compose a full English breakfast. I did encounter the occasional older bread and cold pancake though, it's not star quality but good value for money. The hotel has a sort of terrace with a nice view of the sea and the next island, which was not used by anyone else during our stay - we enjoyed some tea there. All room types have a (mini) fridge, the motel rooms also have a microwave and water cooker, the hotel has a machine that provides coffee and hot water.

United KingdomDining room - could have been cosier. Menu - could have been more choice. No kettle in room - though think this was just a mistake. Had to leave at 5 in the morning but front doors all locked up and couldn’t get out - so bit of a panic as had to catch a flight. Got it sorted but not good. Not so near Airport as I thought so a £30 plus taxi drive. Very good to have an hotel out there and don’t mind basic but it could be improved.
