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.).

GermanyA sharp knife would have been great.
10 out of 10! You are middle of the city, but have the feeling that you are in the middle of nowhere! Amazing interior, super cozy inside and outside! There is a really fancy barbecue that we used a lot. There is a whole laundry room where you can wash and dry your clothes. I definitely recommend.

United StatesWe had a very good stay at this cottage. The cottage is in the middle of the town, a 5min drive from the restaurants area and 2min drive from a Bonus supermarket. We stayed a family of 4. The cottage is ample with two bunk-bed rooms and an attic with two single beds. The kitchen and living room spaces are comfortable and there is a private deck with a grill. Check-in was easy (door code) and the parking was easy right behind the cottage. This is a place where we could have comfortably stayed multiple nights, but only needed one.

Thailand2 bedrooms downstair are small, one of them so small that we cannot open our luggages but have some space in front the room under the stair. A bedroom upstair has more space but stair is too narrow to bring luggage up there. Because of its wooden house so it can make noise when walking.
House and beds are cozy and comfortable, living room is big enough for 6 ppl, kitchen size is ok. Very close to supermarket.

NetherlandsNo impressive views outside, but they are at waling distance.
Very well equiped comfortable cottage with washing and drying machines, perfect halfway our Island tour👍 Waling distance to shops, restaurants, very nice botanic gardens and thermal pool at close-by drive distance. Situated next to main street which at arrival may give bad impression, but once there you appreciate it.

United StatesThe number key for check in appears to be a little glitchy - we got locked out a couple times despite entering the code correctly. The cottage was also quite hot and took a while to cool down - it would have been great to have screens on the windows to prevent bugs from getting in while allowing some fresh air.
Akureyri Cottages was a little smaller than we were expecting for 4 adults (mainly the kitchen and common area), but was still quite comfortable and very clean. The location was quite convenient and the instructions for check in were very clear. We appreciated the discount at a local bakery as well!

SingaporeEven though we did not meet the host face to face but the host was so helpful. We were stuck in a snow storm and was asking if we are able to extend our stay (in case) and the host was more than happy to assist. The house was beautiful inside out and spacious.
