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 KingdomSadly when we arrived at the property the cottage we were supposed to stay in was already occupied. A replacement was found which was fine but looked more dated than the original one. Didn’t see inside both so not possible to fully compare.
Perfect quiet spot to enjoy the clear skies and look out for northern lights. The discount at the local hot baths was great and they were well worth the visit.

United KingdomThe cottage is ideal for 2 people. By having a third we lost the couch so our sitting options were the dining room table or the sleeper couch. The main bed is up a small flight of stairs on a mezzanine level- not ideal for the tall. But very comfy.
The cottage is in an isolated area but really close to Laugarvatn where you can get everything you need. It’s really close to Kerid Crater for a “before” the coaches explore. It’s really easy to explore the Golden circle and easy to find. The shower was hot. The kitchen had all the utensils you need with a large fridge. The hot tub was hot and a welcome treat on a cold night.

United KingdomReviews weren't great not long before we stayed, so we were a little nervous & contacted the owner. He was responsive & let us know they'd just taken over & knew of some issues & had already taken measures to fix some things. On arrival it was better than we were expecting & it was a good, all be it cosy with 4 of us, stay.

United KingdomPerhaps a little on the rustic side and a very well loved vibe. With the advertisement on the website you’re not sure which cottage you will get and there’s a lot of discrepancy between them.
Great wilderness location with wonderful views. Nice and warm and clean. Good communication from Sula and everything made simple and easy.

United StatesThere is VERY little room in the loft with the bed, we both had to lay with our head near the stairs to not feel claustrophobic. We're 5'7" and 6'1" and if you're taller than that, it's not going to be comfortable to sleep up there.
The location can't be beat - remote, but not too far from necessary amenities.

Location is great to visit all the Golden Circle attractions. Easy to reach, clear and easy to follow directions provided upfront, self-check-in gives a lot of flexibility regarding the arrival time. Nice view (sunset) and hot tub.
