How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewCabin was peaceful, tucked away in the woods. I had a wander around the woods and grounds but did not have time to use the outdoor grill or hot tub. It was well equipped and had some cooking essentials as well. It is a short walk down to the harbour, where there are nice buildings and a restaurant, but the night I checked (Monday), it was by reservation only.
The WiFi seemed to be provided by Cabin 3 and was intermittent - I needed to check the roads and weather very early one morning for a whale watching trip in Husavik and it was mostly offline.

Verified reviewWe slept really well as it was quiet in the trees
Small, cramped cabin. There was some shelving, I banged my my head on near the bed. The steps up to the cabin are in need of repair.
Sorry you were not satisfied. it clearly states in the description that the cabin is 15 sq meters.

Verified reviewEasy check in. Beautiful nature and clean place. Fully equipped. Very quiet and cozy. Was a great stay.
While cooking inside, even with opened windows, the smoke starts the smoke alarm. It can be only shut down if you take the battery off. I tried to contact owners even in whats up app but no response so we had to cook without it. It should be checked. Besides it all cool.

Verified reviewLocation beautiful. Cabin very cute. Handy enough for Akureyri by car. Host available if needed. hottub was nice even in very cold weather. Host understanding and polite.
Not much cooking facilities e.g no microwave made it hard to self cater and we were not near a restaurant. No freezer. Cottage was hard to get the right temperature and could be quite noisy at night.

Verified reviewA cozy cabin in the woods perfect for our holiday! It was the only place in Iceland where the hosts put the extra work and the cabin was equipped with bath robes, coffee, tea & spices. The hosts were the most amazing people really helpful and sweet. We stayed during some crazy snowy days and they constantly kept cleaning the roads! We loved it and we will be back soon ❤️

Verified reviewNice cozy little woden house. Clear instructions for arrival, key in the outdoor safe. Clean bathroom.
Few more hangers would help guests to store dress. No space for the luggage. Dishes could be cleaner - migt be after previous guest but owners should control it.
