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 reviewThe location is great because it’s still central but it’s tucked away in a quiet street. This was probably the easiest check-in I’ve ever experienced - the lady at the front desk was efficient and kind and very informative. We had a free upgrade. The room was magnificent. There was windows to let in the cold crisp air of Norway. The bathroom was extremely spacious, modern and clean. Also, we were delighted with the snacks and the dinner served at the hotel complementary ! Overall, I would stay here again!!
The only thing I have to say I didn’t love is that we didn’t get to experience the breakfast because it’s served at eight on the weekend :/ but overall it was amazing and they packed us a breakfast since we were leaving early in the morning

Verified reviewnice comfortable hotel, rooms are big, location is perfect, breakfast is great.
Absolutely wrong is their policy of not cleaning the room every day. That is not acceptable, and it’s a silly policy that diminishes the rating of the hotel by 1 point. Also, when I was informed about this policy at the reception desk, I was told that I could still request the room to be cleaned; however, the following day nobody cleaned the room or replaced the towels. New towels were supplied upon request Furthermore, probably the staff at the reception is not well trained in terms of helping customers. For example, if I ask help to book at the taxi for the morning after, you need to be helpful and proactive.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in the PERFECT location in the heart of Bergen's waterfront. We were well-situated to explore all major highlights. Dinner and breakfast were included, making this a fantastic deal, and they were delicious. Dinner was a fixed menu, and well done, and the breakfast was amazing...offering so much variety and it was delicious. The room was great, comfortable, and a good size. Oh, they also has afternoon fika (tea/snack time) which was lovely. They have good sitting areas on the main floor...plenty of space to gather. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd highly recommend this hotel in Bergen.
The only drawback is the shower/tub combo...with a high threshold for the tub, I was unable to use that...not safe for older or wobbly guests. Maybe other rooms just have a shower feature...we didn't ask.

Verified reviewGreat location, easy walk from train station, lots of transit nearby. Breakfast was excellent, though very crowded if you are there as it starts. Bed was comfortable.
Accessible room had no slope for shower drain, had to make towel barrier so bathroom didn’t flood. Walls all damaged, painted over wallpaper is peeling, doors have unpatched holes, stained carpet in halls, paint splatter on baseboards. Not enough lighting in the room. Sink drained very slowly.

I had a confirmed, prepaid booking but was told on arrival that the hotel had overbooked and I was sent to another property. Despite promises of an upgrade, I did not receive the highest room category and the location was extremely noisy. After spending a night away, I was told to move back again, which caused even more disruption. My original booking included half-board, which was not provided at the alternative hotel. Overall, this was handled very poorly and shows a lack of professionalism. I would strongly advise against booking here.

It wasn’t just meeting the standard of a premium priced hotel. The staff were not attentive. The rooms were sub-standard. The toilet has a certain smell. Breakfast was just okay.

Verified reviewGreat location. We had a room facing the harbour and these are recommended. Very good size room. Excellent bathroom, with both shower and a separate bath.
Unfortunately like many Europe hotels there were steps between Reception and our room, not too many, but enough to make you strain when carrying luggage.
