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.).

United StatesBreakfast was not so great. Relatively poor food presentation for the price. Beds were a bit small, but again more european style.
Great location, amazing rainwater shower. Small rooms (european) but fine. The breakfast is so-so. Ok but not high-end. There are many places to eat outside the hotel that are in walking distance so I would take advantage of that. If you are doing excursions other than the Northern Lights secure breakfast at the hotel as you will be leaving early. Overall it was a good stay. Staff was super nice and helpful. I would recommend.

IrelandLoved our stay at The Borg Hotel, beautiful hotel and room. Location was excellent very close to a lovely selection of bars and restaurants and a convenience shop, yet the area was very quiet no noise from the street. Our room was on the 5th floor and had a great view out over the city so we saw lots of fireworks during our stay for little Christmas. Bus stop 3 for tour pick up was just around the corner. The hotel and room were very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful with booking airport transfer. Looking forward to returning in the future!

LatviaThere is bar playing loud music 1st floor in the building of one hotel block. So guests are asked to be patient until 1AM until loud music stops in accordance with local regulation. We don't consider it is adequate for hotel pretending for up-scale status. The breakfast is acceptable with some funny exemptions, e.g. fried eggs are offered cold, meaning that frying process took place long before breakfast time, maybe evening before. When you kindly indicate that the waiter without any empathy proposes to inform the chef...
Interior is nice art-deco, rooms are comfortable.

United Statesno nice view and size of bedroom a bit small for price, and the TV was programmed in Spanish, which staff was unable to switch to English. Man at breakfast "welcome counter" very curt, and seemed resentful that we had appeared (within scheduled time).
Front desk staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Location was excellent. Breakfast staff mostly very pleasant, and the selection of food was excellent. Room's Art Deco decor was nice and bathroom was spacious and well designed.

United StatesWould have liked to be able to get hotter water in room shower, but the hot tub and steam room in the spa did the trick. Only one small bath towel in the room, but house keeping cheerfully gave me another one. I had a huge heavy duffle bag and two other bags, and as not offered bag service or mention of a bag trolley.
Super friendly staff, face cloths in bath, lots of outlets, spa was wonderful. I had a facial and the technician was amazing. Quality and selection of breakfast buffet was superb. Was able to get early check in. Great bartender. Loved the Art Deco architecture. Location could not have been better.

United StatesParking! There is none and recommendations for street parking was confusing if you don’t know the city well. Also, the bar apparently is “booked” on tuesdays and wednesdays so I couldn’t get a drink at my own hotel?! Also, there should be some sort of welcome drink and lotion in the bathrooms.
Great location!
