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.).

SwedenThere was no aircon in the room and it was very warm the two nights we stayed. We left both window halves wide open but then you hear the noise from the highway instead. It wasn’t a lot of traffic at night so that was good.

NorwayThe standard of the apartment could have been better and did not match the photos. Especially, the bathroom was not the best. The showerhead could use replacing and the toilet lid fell off. It got hot when the weather was warm, so fans would have been good to have. The dusting could have been more thorough. We had to request all in-room services. It would have been nice if the garbage was emptied and new towels were provided on a regular basis.
Great and charming setting, with the historical buildings and wonderful park/garden area. Perfect location for visiting Skara sommerland. Good breakfast and good food at the resturant. Very friendly staff. Spacious apartment. Good outdoor space for the kids to play in.

United StatesThe rooms have not been renovated for a very, very long time. What we stayed in was more akin to a hostel than a hotel, but the price made it totally worth it. If it was more though, it would have been problematic. It was also not so clean, lots of dust and mold in the shower. The walls and floors are very thin and you can hear everything in the building - ok this is an old building and some of this should be expected but... because the price is so low and it is close to a main highway - it seems to attract guests that have no regards for other, yell and party late, have to be asked multiple times to keep the noise down... finally got quiet at around midnight after a call to the staff for help. There is no staff on site in the "hotel" building after hours. Hopefully it is not like this all the time, but it was when we were there. Nice place but be aware it is more hostel than hotel.
The location and buildings are amazing if you like history. Really incredible old buildings and location is very convenient to E20, Skara and Skövde. The onsite restaurant is lovely and the food is decent, probably even better during peak season, price is a bit high but you make up for it on room prices which, at least off season, were extremely low!

FinlandI liked the location in the middle of the blissful countryside. The peaceful accommodation, in the former bishop's residence, though quite basic, was very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The building itself was of historical interest and worth staying in. The staff were also very helpful, and the fact we could also eat an evening meal in the restaurant at reasonable prices was a bonus. It was good value for money.

SwedenPerfect little hotel, "Kulturmärkt" which means they can't change a lot of the house since it's protected. The breakfast is really good (love the waffles) and abundant. The rooms are old style with birds nest windows but the ambiance on the surrounding makes the perfect. The bed is soft and cosy. The restaurant itself is worth a visit alone, the quality on the food is up there next to any classier and fancier and more expensive restaurants in the big cities. The chef tries to use the local and also the season ingrediants and they turn out delicious food for modest prices. The staff is friendly and attentive to keep you happy and satisfied, while you are there get to know a little bit of the history of the place that started in the way back in the 400 and from roughly 1000 it started it's form up until 1900 when it sort of had it's last major reconstruction. It has a lot of historical connections to both royalty and to the church. I can really recommend the place if not for the food itself. Try the Toast skagen, The Bookmaker or their speciality Stjarneskud... perfect with a beer or two. Nice and quiet surrounding but still close to the main road without it is disturbing the peace. They also have a sauna and a barrel tub.

IcelandWe booked a twin room but got a double bed. The room was so small we could hardly turn around. There were stains on the walls (mold). There were torn paper signs on the door. The room appeared shabby. Reception was supposed to be open until 23 pm. We arrived one evening at around 22:55 and everything was locked.

NorwayReally bad cleaning of the rooms, not vacuumed, not functional lighting and a lot of extension cables (for the non functional lights). Dirty chair and long hairs on the tables. Crossed my mind that they had not even bothered to change the sheets, or bothered to wash the extra cushions on the bed, but I came there with my son after a full day of activities, so would not make a bad scene about it at the hotel. They were fully booked. The Wi-Fi was not functioning. Pretty location, but really poor handled when it comes to maintenance. Sad to see a pretty location like that.
Good location and decent breakfast.

United StatesThe staff could have been more welcoming. The facilities were old and not well-maintained — peeling paint inside the rooms, for example. There was a very large contingent of motorcyclists staying there at the same time, and they dominated the premises.
The location was rural and very pleasant. The breakfast was quite adequate, with enough variety to please anyone.
