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.).

GreeceThe location in the middle of nowhere is just superb. The gentleman in the reception was really kind and there were 2 lovely doggies to welcome us too! The room was spacious, clean and with some essential stuff in the “kitchen” (kettle, coffee, tea, cups and glasses). The breakfast was really good, in a big dining room with a variety of choices that he cooked himself. Really liked the place! The hotel is only a 5 min. Drive from Hengifoss so don’t miss out!

Beautiful rooms with a nice welcome committee by the two friendly and happy dogs!😇 The breakfast area is awesome and even if we were almost alone with a huge buffet where nothing was missing. The owner furthermore like to share some stories from his life which were highly appreciated👌

KazakhstanWe arrived at the hotel late at night and found the main door locked. We had never received any kind of code in advance. Of course, I understand that some check-in desks may close earlier, but literally every other hotel in the world and I travel almost all the time sends the access code beforehand. Not upon request, but proactively. This hotel did not. As a result, we stood outside in the middle of the night, knocking loudly, disturbing neighbors, which we really didn’t want to do. In the end, we had to enter through the back door to get inside. That’s extremely unprofessional and a very poor sign of hospitality. For the future, the hotel should set up a system that works for guests, not against them.
Overall it’s a great property with a very tasty breakfast

LuxembourgNo evening meal option - in order to have dinner you need to drive to a nearby hotel (20 min by car). Breakfast was rather basic, not much choice and moderately tasty (only toast bread, dry scrambled eggs etc). No plastic liners in trash bins in the bathroom and the kitchen.
Cleanliness, comfortable beds, decently sized rooms, beautiful scenery (but in the middle of nowhere).

United StatesExcellent breakfast with a selection of hot items like eggs, sausages, bacon, and tiny pancakes. The room was quiet and the bed had the best linens. The host prepared an excellent lamb stew for dinner. There is a fireplace in the dining room for cozy cocktails. Recommend visiting the museum nearby for lunch. Many selections and excellent price!
