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...).

United KingdomDo be aware that you are sharing a room the size of an old prison cell so make sure it's with someone you don't mind being that close with!!..
Really nice design to the building and the layout of the halls/rooms. Staff were really accommodating and helpful.

AustraliaOur room, as expected, was tiny, and had single beds. It was a little cold and I did not understand how the old fashioned metal heater worked. There are no shops close by and at night there is no one around when you walk back from the bus or train. But it does feel like a safe area. You do need to walk quite a bit to get there, through parklands and streets, but it was ok.
It was an interesting experience to stay in a prison. The hotel is in a lovely, green area, with river and parkland. Staff were helpful and polite. The hotel was very clean. The room was cute, very small of course. Breakfast buffet was nice, in a lovely room. It was very quiet at night. A really fun experience.

Czech RepublicOrdering extras is a little bit complicated, we had no choice to change number of breakfasts due to early check out I do not know how many people arrive with their own bed sheets. Maybe it could be included in the price for the room, not as an extra
Excellent breakfast Near the city center, but quiet locality in the park

Canadawindow was hard to access if you are older. I used my cane to open and shut.
room was well fitted, with club chair, desk and chair and smaller TV, a short taxi or Uber ride from train station, lovely park like setting with swimming. Because it is a former prison, doors and walls are thick so very quiet. I got my days mixed up and didn't get my things packed up; I was supposed to move to another room because I booked late. Staff left things in room and arranged for me to stay there that night. Because the hostel is also a hotel has exceptional dinning room. A bit pricey for a hostel but great food. They do have sandwiches etc available in frig a reception. There is a reading room space if you wish to hang out someplace rather than your room or the bar. I am looking forward to going back

The place was amazing for a hostel and it had hotel quality dining. Outdoor activities looked great though I was not there long enough to use. When I told a couple of Swedes about staying there, one had stayed there and loved it, the other recommended the dining room; very quiet, thick walls

PolandThe rooms are so small so I'd not recommend for longer stay. You pay money for bed sheets and towels so be prepared.
It was really interesting experience to stay in jail-turned-to-hotel. I'd recommend to everyone to stay here if you are in Stockholm for a couple of days.
