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.).

Czech RepublicThe apartment was beautiful, with all the facilities you need. I also appreciate the equipped kitchen with the possibility to cook your own food. The location is great, the surroundings are quiet, but at the same time everything is within reach. The host also asked if we needed anything.

AustriaWe had a terrific stay here! The apartment was clean, beautifull decorated, fully equipped with everything one could need and the host was exceptionally friendly. The apartment is even more beautiful than on the pictures! The location of the apartment is in a lovely quiet area of the town next to a pretty river but still within 5 minutes walking distance of the town center. (Check out the beautiful street art at the side of the building, it's stunning and speaks volumes about the apartment) We had a wonderful stay here all around and I can only recommend this apartment to anyone who visits Karlstad!

FinlandThe bathroom needs some update but it was still clean and useful. We prefer shower instead of bath and also would like to have better ventilation. The two beds were not the same hight but did not cause any problem for us. They were still comfortable.
Anna-Lena, the owner, was extremely helpful and nice. She gave a lot of good information and presented the whole appartment of ours as well another appartment that she rents. The one bedroom appartment that we rented for four nights has a very good view to the canal, it was cosy and spacious, too. The kitchen equipment was good, especially I liked the knives which quite often are very blunt - not in this appartment. The frying pans were worn-out, but when telling that to Anna-Lena, she bought new frying pans :). Even though there was no air condition (except the open windows and fans), it was not that warm as we could keep the windows open and the big trees by the canal are giving some shadow to the rooms which are against the morning sun.

NorwayThe place of the car was under a tree, from which the leaves fell on the car. The parking lot was in a different place than originally intended. The hobs were really worn out. Although we didn't use the stove. The electrical sockets were really loose in a couple of places.
The location of the apartment was perfect. And it was spacious and nicely decorated. A good size fridge. Just a short walk to the restaurants and a grocery. There was a parking space for the car in the same yard. We did have a good night sleeps. We were welcomed very friendly. Easy to check in and out. Absolutely big recommendations for this place.

BelgiumYou are asked to clean the fridge and throw away the trash. Unfortunately, it is not easy to locate the trash room, which is outside. The whole building appears to be rental apartments, for short term visits. The walls are very thin and you easily hear your neighbours. Note that the wifi is very weak in this apartment.
This review is for flat number 3, which looks over the inner yard and is on the lower floor. It is a no frills apartment, with limited space, two beds and somewhat outdated, but does-the-trick furniture. The kitchen is equipped with a micro and a filter coffee machine. Coffee was available. There was no milk and a minimum of what former guests had left. You will have to walk a bit to find some food, so if you arrive late, bring your own or order take-out. There is a hair dryer, an iron and board, some shampoo and some soap. Towels are available as are sheets. For 20-25 Euros more you get a boutique-type hotel downtown, including breakfast.
