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.).

PolandIt is a historical property and it's easy to be disturbed by the uncouncious other travellers, who speak loudly in the other rooms.
Kitchen was very well equipped and the dining area was big enough.

ItalyThe room was very tiny with insufficient number of sockets compared with guest number. Also the heating was too much, we had to sleep with partially open window.
The structure is in the center of Vik, very close to restaurants and other. Additionally, it has dedicated parking. Exceptionally clean for an hostel standard.

GermanyNothing to complain.
I read about this old house and yes, it´s an old house. I love it´s charme and although I heard everyone going to the toilet at night it was ok for me. You have savety and booking is really quick. You get a code and you´ll come whenever you arrive. I think my room in the first upper ground was the smallest room in the house but I could load all my equipement. My bed stood in front of the window although I realized in the morning how gorgious this place was. Downstairs Showers were hot and comfortable. Breakfast is only a few steps away and you get geothermal baked bread.

BelgiumThe room for 4 people was very small. Unfortunately the noise is a problem. You can hear everything from the corridors, and we were very unlucky to stay the same night as a big group who made really a lot of noise.
The place itself is very nice and cosy, big kitchen, with all basic stuff to cook. Living room is large and very cosy. Breakfast was also good.

ItalyThe radiator in our room did not work at all. We have been told to use an electric one but it was really tiny, so the room stayed cold. We had wet clothes so we could not dry them properly (the common radiators were used by other people) and in the morning we found a lot of water close to the window, due to condensation most likely. It's a pity, but I don't think it's normal to stay in a room without heating during winter season in Iceland
The breakfast was excellent, a big amount of choice and a good quality overall
