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 reviewThis hotel has a great central location and the view from the higher rooms is spectacular.
Room was pleasant at arrival but lack of quality in the cleaning lead to dust building up. Sheets were not changed even when stained (we have a baby that co-slept with us).

Verified reviewThe breakfast was great, plentiful, everyone could find their favorite dishes. The Vietnamese chef who cooked and baked eggs and pancake was very kind and always smiling, it was nice to chat with him. It was our first time in a hotel with a code card elevator, we didn't know how the elevator worked. They didn't explain it at the reception. :)) The cleanliness is great, as is the coffee and tea facilities in the room. The hairdryer had to be pressed constantly to work, which is quite inconvenient, in our country it doesn't work like that. I think anyone who wants to dry hair knows about electricity, if it's a "protection", then it's absolutly unnecessary, it would be enough to just hold the hairdryer, not constantly press the button... We went to the Obie spa, it was very good and pleasant, as was the pizza and wine we had there.
1, There was no storage space for clothes in the room, just a narrow hanging cupboard above the fridge, for "tall Vikings". There are no shelves for short European women, you couldn't unpack your suitcase, just put all your clothes on the one chair. If you're traveling for several days and aren't 2 meters tall, you won't be able to store your clothes. 2, The bed was very soft and sunken in. For older people with spinal hernias, a hard bed is appropriate, but this was not possible here.
Dear Eva, Thank you so much for letting us know about your stay! Your feedback means a lot to us. Welcome back to us on your next visit to Gothenburg! Have a great day! Kind regards Nathalie Clarion Hotel Draken

Verified reviewEverything! From walking in the lounge has this great relaxed feel and lots of areas to relax. The staff were incredibly helpful every time we needed help with something. The bedding was LUSH and the room felt luxurious. The Rituals products were great too. Breakfast is always my favourite part of staying at hotel and they didn’t disappoint. Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. Because of all of this we won’t be staying at any other hotel apart from this hotel now when visiting Gothenburg! We LOVED the Obie spa and enjoyed the cold and hot experiences. We felt so relaxed but energised afterwards which is what we needed when walking around all day!
The only thing I would say was a problem was nose from outside. We were there during a festival and there is a bar on the corner where you can hear a bit of booming bass from. It didn’t interrupt my sleep but did bother partner. One problem I would say with noise which can be helped is the slamming of the doors. They slam quite loud when closing and can wake up up if people are arriving late/leaving early.
Dear Kate, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that our staff provided you with exceptional service. It is wonderful to know that you found the bedding luxurious and that our breakfast exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding the noise from outside and the door slamming. Your insights are valuable, and we will certainly use them to enhance our guests' experience in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Gothenburg, especially for another celebration! Warm regards,Welcome Office Lennart Clarion Hotel Draken

Verified reviewNothing
We had no air or AC in the room. Complained to front desk mgr who tried first to fob us off then when she came to the room said we’re too busy to fix this & can’t move you. There was NO AIR in the room. She offered us a fan! We asked her to send hotel mgr to our room but after 15 mins no one came so I went to desk. Told to be quiet by security. Mgr offered to sit down and chat. I said I’m tired. I just want to sleep in a room that has air in it. It needs to be fixed now. She finally came to the room and brought the security guard with her. He was the one who fixed the problem. Absolutely totally useless. Made us feel like we were worthless. We paid a huge amount of money for the room on the exchange rate and the service was absolutely disgraceful. They made us feel so small. No discount nothing happened. On top of it they asked us to book a time for breakfast which we were not willing to do. Most hotels allow you just to walk into the breakfast area. What a joke of a place. I’ve stayed all over the world and never had anything so disgraceful happen to me.
