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.).

GermanyAll good.
Location couldn't be better for travellers without a car, situated right between the bus station and the old town centre. Very comfy beds and quiet. Helpful staff, with a 24-hour reception. Breakfast was a good standard breakfast, but fresh bread rolls instead of just toasting bread would have been a welcome addition. Would come again.

The hotel is very well located in the center of the city, the rooms are comfortable and clean (although a little bit outdated ) and breakfast was okay. For the price paid it was a very good experience. Anyways, I would go back here if I'm traveling in the area.

FinlandThe lift was a bit slow but worked well. The Finnish Kone ❤️
Barclay exceeded my expectations. We got a spacious room on 5th floor (4. kerros). It faced to the quiet backyard in shadow of the beautiful woods on Toomemägi. So the room was quiet and fairly cool despite hot weather and we were able to keep the windows open all night which allowed us very good sleep. Good breakfast buffet and friendly staff. The hotel is situated in the old city and a few steps from restaurans, cafes, shopping centers and bus station. Excellent price/quality ratio.

EstoniaA minor aspect: Breakfast has some room for improvement and is provided only until 09:00.
Centrally located hotel with standard 3* facilities and with no specific ambitions but offering good value for money (including cold drinks for those who arrive late), and in this sense competitive with more luxury but much more expensive properties.

FinlandDuring cleaning, we were left with only one set of towels for two persons. Naturally this was fixed quickly, but still should not have happened. Breakfast was unimpressive. It's very basic (has all the must-haves like bacon, eggs, muesli, toast, juice, etc. - but nothing extra) and not expensive, but still nearby cafes offer better value and a fresher selection.
It's not my first time in the hotel, so no surprises: the location is excellent, the rooms clean and spacious. Definitely excellent value for the money. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Mostly quiet rooms, we could hear some noise through the walls, but not much. The hotel was fully booked, so not a big surprise.

EstoniaBreakfast service needs serious improvement. Food and drinks run out too often, creating unnecessary delays. My entire cup of coffee was taken away while I was briefly getting more food—despite my key being on the table, clearly marking my presence. Total waste. Then, I had to wait again because there was no coffee available. When you're on a tight schedule, these inefficiencies are more than just frustrating—they're disruptive.
The front desk staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Their great service was a highlight of my experience.
