Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwedenMore dog friendly seating at the breakfast/dinning area with views.
Loved the views from the room overlooking the lake. It was dog friendly and they placed the bins close to the entrance of the section we stayed at. With bags (if you forgot) There is nothing worse than trying to find a bin after you picked up after your dog. The building and entrance way has a lot of character. Loved our stay (sadly only for 1 night) Breakfast had a nice selection of continental food and their own waffle station. There was also a really friendly gentleman at the night reception. We arrived just before midnight and he cheered us up after a long day of travelling. (Keep him)

SwedenSuper poor and not tasty breakfast, especially for a 4 star hotel. Beds are too soft, unfortunately.
Amazing view, absolutely awesome location and castle experience! Note: if you want a castle experience, make sure you are booking the right room. It is not clear here on Booking. Our room was in a nearby house, we found it out at Check in. However due to super helpful and amazing staff we got upgraded to a castle room!

FinlandThe check-out was pretty early, at 10.30. We also didn't take the hotel breakfast as it was ending already at 9.30. Those times were a little early for us as we were on holiday.
The location was spectacular and we all loved the cabin we stayed in. The double bed was very comfortable and the view from the cabin was so beautiful.

Room 123 with a fab balcony and great view of the lake as seen in the pictures attached. This should be the only room you request if you want these great views with peace and quiet. Staff on reception and bar were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble

FinlandMaybe new personnel or busy day reason for a mix up at our arrival; our room had been given away to someone else by mistake, but situation was solved and apologized by reception, so eventually turned out fine. Also new personnel or busy day at the restaurant causing delay and mistakes in the bill, however very good food and beautiful view from the restaurant.
Beautiful location, and easily reached by car. Charming room in the castle part, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice interior. And what a view to lake Vättern, beautiful sunset. Good dinner and breakfast.

United KingdomWe are always looking forward to having an evening meal at the restaurant. This year I was very disappointed with the service. Staff behaved in a very unprofessional way, very amateurish. After taking our order, and given our food, nobody even once , came to ask how is the food? is everything alright? or glancing at the tables in case we wanted something else, completely ignored the tables. even when I eventually managed to order another glass of wine, the waiter never took the empty glass away, even when I asked for the bill, the empty bread basket was still on the table. I found the staff very UNPROFESSIONAL Did not match the hotel s standard at all. Another detail, the young waiter was putting items on the table for customers like drinks or milk jug staff like that, holding them from very close to the lip! Very unprofessional and very unhygienic. Front of house staff, excellent!
The breakfast was more than adequate, very satisfied with it indeed, I had no complains to make. And of course the view from the restaurant was exceptional. Simply very good indeed
