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 reviewSuch a beautiful little cozy room! The hospitality is superb.
We didn’t know they had breakfast! We read in a tour book they don’t offer it and they did but we had made other arrangements. Sad to miss! The shower situation was a bit tough with a curtain and the quiet hours were great except some kids were running around scream-playing after hours (not a big deal but we were personally told to be quiet after 10pm and the kids were running around at 11pm).

Verified reviewRoom was roomy Adequate power points Lovely view Breakfast was nice - traditional Icelandic breakfast Plenty of hot water Parking was close Blackout curtains were great Staff were lovely
Stairs to our room were very narrow, short and I didn’t feel safe. Definitely not good for older people. Struggled to get our luggage up the stairs Not a lot of ventilation in the bathroom No bath mat
We are very sorry that you fell down the stairs. Our guesthouse is situated in a very old farm and more than 100 years old. Because of this it does not fulfill nowadays building standards but this gives also the charming atmosphere our house has and our guests enjoy so much. We protect the stairs already with warning and security stickers on the floor and show the stairs already on our offer at booking.com. So everybody should be aware of the steps before arrival. We still hope you had a nice stay and wish you all the best.

Verified reviewVery nice accomodations. Loved the view from our room...we could watch the horses being moved to pasture and there are over 100 of them! Our beds were comfortable and the house had some wonderful vintage furniture.
Bathroom and shower were tiny. The stair steps were very small.

Verified reviewWarm welcome from the host. Check in instructions were clear and accurate. Room and common areas were very clean. Loved the horses as an added bonus.
Now that there are mosquitoes in the area, window screens would be a good addition (did warn us and provided bug repellent)

Only thing that would have added is a washing machine.

Verified reviewSelf check in process very easy. Everything was clean and comfortable. Briefly met the owner in the morning when we left. She was very friendly.
Old key in the bedroom doors were a bit noisy as we all tried to figure out how they worked so an early riser might wake you up as they left their room.
