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.).

An amazing place, an amazing cosy cabin, an amazing, hot tub, very kind hosts. On the top af the hill you have a stunning 360° view. Cabin is super equiped for a relaxing stay full of music (guitar and records) and hot bath under the stars and if you are lucky enough like us, under northern lights!

United Kingdom360 views. The cabin was beautiful and the perfect place to relax and unwind. It has all you need- they have a ‘survival guide’ book for instructions on how to use the hot tub, record player, washing machine, etc. and all you need to know and visit around the area. It’s equipped and has a homey feel. Loved our 3night stay a lot!

Stunning views, beautiful location. The record player is a great touch as there is no TV! (It was great not having a TV). Amazing hot tub where you can gaze at the stars and if you are lucky like us, witness the Northern Lights. Simply an incredible find, we were very lucky to get to stay at Hilltop Cabin Hekla for 4 nights!

PolandHard to say I disliked something. Maybe you should keep in mind that the cabin is in really open area, so using the terrace or facilities like hot tube may be just impossible in case of strong wind. But it’s Iceland, isn’t it? :)
The cabin has been superb. Cosy, romantic and spacious, elegant at the same time. Equipment in the kitchen is modern, high quality and sufficient for a short or long stay. The hosts were amazing, provided a lot of tips and I felt they really took care about our safety in the Icelandic severe weather - constantly informing us about road condition, weather updates. Oh and they gave us early check-in and late check-out on their own initiative. We love and appreciate such extra-ordinary attitude. What a fantastic experience it was. Totally unforgettable, I have no words to describe warmth which I feel when I think about this stay.

This was truly an exceptional place to stay. The cabin is very nice with a great view and well located. The hosts are extremely helpful and added many details to the place to make you feel at home. The kitchen is well stocked and the hot tub is the cherry on top of a great place to stay.

United StatesOur only issue was a small mix-up with the lock box, but our hosts were very responsive and everything worked out a-ok!
The location was easy to find and "centrally" located enough that we were able to take lots of adventures. The house was wonderfully appointed and the views did not disappoint. We used the hot tub frequently (instructions were easy to follow). And, the album collection - a recommendations - were great! (We're currently shopping for more Johann Johannssen albums! It really set the scene!) We saw the northern lights two of the three nights - such a treat!

PolandThere was not really a huge thing which we didn’t like, but the shower glass looked a bit used and had some limescale.We had also some problems with the pipe in the sink but we managed to fix it quickly and it was just a coincidence and definitely not hosts’ fault that it was broken.
This is a lovely place located in amazing area. Cabin is surrounded by beautiful mountains, including Hekla volcano. We were really impressed by the view. The house is comfortable and has anything you need for nice stay. But hosts behaviour was really oustanding. They helped us a lot with some difficulties which we had during our stay due to the snowstorm. They were caring, asked a farmer to clean the road for us,called Blue Lagoon when we realized that we can not make it because of the weather and thanks to them we get money refunded. The contact with them was great and we are really thankful for having them at that time!
