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.).

Self check in, easy communication with host, very modern hotel room with a balcony, view from balcony to the city and sea - very pretty, it is quiet in the room and also in the hotel area, possesses a whirlpool if needed, has a fridge, free coffee and a couch, dining table as well as a small desk, curtains which makes the room dark during sleep, the room has a safe, only 10 min drive by car to the next supermarket - I would come back if needed :)

It was clean and modern. The self check in was nice. The bed was comfortable.

United StatesThe only issue we encountered was with the shower drain — it didn’t work very well, so water would spill over and start to flow into the bedroom area. Other than that, everything was great and we enjoyed our time there.
The place was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

United Statesshower drain was very slow almost causing flood in bathroom, had to pause shower to allow water to drain, able to let cleaning crew know in the morning. Self check-in is not ideal if any issues.
Nice large room with a great view. It was at the ski resort and self serve but really not that far out of Akureyri. We got e mail with codes just fine for check in. Able to use microwave & kettle in kitchen area, had a small fridge and a safe in room. Got in too late to use hot tub.

The hotel had a self-check-in process, so no staff was involved during the check-in. The hotel maintained proper cleanliness and other facilities. The room had a very nice view from the balcony.

United StatesNo control in the room temperature. We had the door open to the outside patio for as long as we could until bedtime.
Close to downtown, just enough removed to have more space, liked the hot tubs. The security code access to the building and room was an interesting measure we had not had before. It was easy to enter. The bed was comfortable! There was a EV charge hookup that we could have used if our car came with a cable.
