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 KingdomThis is a great place to stay and I highly recommend. It was my favourite place to stay in Estonia. It is a small and excellent hotel but with the benefits of a hostel, like a spotless and well equipped kitchen, a Sauna and laundry. The room was a good size, plenty of storage, good sized bathroom and my room had a lovely balcony with sunset views. Bed was really comfy. Close to several cafes and the main attractions in a really lovely neighbourhood to walk around and close to the beach track as well. I recommend! Tips - everything touristy is closed in Viljandi on a Monday. The laundry is open Tues-Fri and the sauna from Weds-Sat (from memory!)

FinlandI recently had the pleasure of staying at Hostel Ingeri in Viljandi with my daughter and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The highlight of my stay was definitely room number 6. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The room itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail in the room's design was truly impressive, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. Not only was the room fantastic, but the hostel as a whole exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The common areas were well-maintained and provided a great space to relax and socialize with fellow travelers. The location of Hostel Ingeri was also ideal. Situated in the heart of Viljandi, it was within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and shops. Exploring the charming town was a breeze, thanks to the hostel's convenient location. Overall, my stay at Hostel Ingeri was nothing short of exceptional, and room number 6 truly stood out as a gem. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Viljandi. You won't be disappointed!

United StatesNo complaints— this hotel was exactly what I wanted.
I had an excellent stay! The woman managing the hotel was very kind and accommodating. She let me check in early and leave my suitcase for a few hours before I left. She also offered apples from her own garden. The location is perfect and there is a sauna on the ground floor. The price is well worth it. Highly recommend!
