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.).

DenmarkFelt like a container hostel. Was a bit challenging to find the room in the dark.
We used it as a last minute option due to a ferry cancellation. Arrived after midnight. It was a room with private shower in a 4 room complex. Good breakfast.

NorwayBreakfast was simple in the bad way. Not much to choose from, just the utter most basic of regular Norwegian breakfast food.
It's nice and simple. This can be a plus if you only really need a bed for the night(s).

DenmarkWe were 5 families travelling together and made booking together. But we did not get rooms close to each other.
We were to start early morning before the breakfast time, so staff was flexible enough to provide us a packed breakfast the night before our travel.

PolandVery small beds, no necessities in the bathroom. Very damp and hot rooms. Beds are very uncomfortable. I don't understand how this is 3 stars. Should be just a little above hostel level. Only got it because everything was full. It is also very expensive. You can get a much better room in the center in a normal hotel.
Nice breakfast, nice personnel. Very nice view and neighbourhood.

DenmarkLighting in the room is pretty grim. Low-cost partition walls. No soap in the shower.
Clean and comfortable, good for a simple overnight due to a late flight for a work trip. Looks like more facilities and an active environment to explore. Looked particularly suitable for families on a budget. Lots of space.

Placement to Lristiansand Zoo and that it was central to other things like center if Town snd shopping centte called Sørlandssenteret. Good price with ok breakfast buffet included. Lovely area ans possibilities for activities like Frisbee golf, beach Willenhall, football, and more. Access to kitchen facilities by our room so we could make our own dinners and food packs.

NorwayVery overpriced for basic student accommodation. Very noisy. Thin walls and lots of young teens and small kids making noise all around the area. Whoever owns this accommodation is clearly making a fortune year-round. Young families are looking for a place to stay close to Kristiansand during the summer and students looking for accommodation during term time. Both groups paying a high rate for what they get in return - basic and quite poor accommodation. Overall, I'd say this is a money-making machine for someone rich who would never stay in these facilities themselves. Young staff doing their best for probably low-rate pay. The labels and signs were not put on the breakfast items they belonged to, so who knows what is in those big pots various of white yoghurts etc. Kitchens were useful to have near the rooms for making tea etc but noone keeping an eye on the facilities to tidy up. bathroom facilities were outdated and felt quite poor. Prices should be lower per night for these very basic rooms.
Young staff, probably students. Doing their best. Kept it clean and doing their jobs well. Breakfast was quite good with bread, jams & family favourites.
