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.).

United StatesBiting flies. There are two other rooms in the house right next to the kitchen. We went to bed early and were woken up by others coming in at midnight. We got up early and had to creep around so as not to disturb the others
Beautiful quiet location. The kitchen had everything needed to cook. The shared shower and kitchen were clean and the place was very warm and cosy.

ItalyThe host kindly upgraded us to the cabin/bungalow. It was a lovely tiny place with everything you need (kitchenette and bathroom), furniture is modern. The place is in the middle of nowhere and it is perfect to spot the northern lights if you are lucky! The host was nice and available via chat. Self check is quite easy

United KingdomMy airline left one bag at home when I flew to Iceland. I had to get them to deliver it here. The owner was excellent with communication throughout the day. They went to the property to receive it from the delivery person and left it in my room. This was exceptional customer service. Thank you SO much. The property is nice, in a quiet location. There shared facilities were fine. We didn't spend much time there, it was a quick overnight stay but I'd be happy to recommend them.

BelgiumGreat location, quiet area, just what you want to enjoy when visiting Iceland. We stayed in a house with 3 rooms of which we used 2 with 5 persons. The kitchen, dining area and living room are small but cosy. Do not expect luxury but authenticity.

AustriaWhen the house is full, the bathroom is not sufficient for so many people (you have to wait ). There is no heating in the rooms, only two small electric radiators in the hallways, so I don't think it's recommended to stay here in winter!
The house is located in the wilderness, about 2 km from the main road. Pure nature ❤️ It has no reception; entry is by code and key! The house is nice, the kitchen is small but modern and has the essentials. The room is small but clean.

AustraliaWith 4 double rooms fully occupied (8 people), the small kitchen and single bathroom was a bit of a dance during dinner and breakfast but the other guests were lovely and we all made it work.
The bed was comfortable and the shared bathroom/kitchen clean. The check-in instructions were easy to follow and the guesthouse easy to find.

GermanyThe apartment was not heated when we arrived, and there were no rugs so our feet were cold, the door does not lock. Instead of many right things crammed in I would have preferred more space, rugs, night tangled with lamps.
The view right in front is spectacular.

SpainThe property wasn't very warm in any of the areas. It had central heating but didn't get hot enough and then There were 2 extra oil heaters one in the room and one in the bedroom which we turned on but still didn't heat the property enough so it was cold during our stay. Could do with a soft lamp in the room instead of wall lights , we used the one from our bedroom
The property is located in the remote mountains which is great to relax and watch for the Aurora..It has been decorated really lovely inside and has a good shower and comfy beds. The kitchen is well equipped and it was easy to get to in a 4x4. We had the whole property to ourselves which was amazing, and can't comment how it would be like if sharing with the 2 other rooms.
