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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SpainRoom was very basic and a bit smelly. Reception, dinner room and breakfast room was all the same and a bit crowded. Bathroom was also basic. Mattress was a bit too soft.
The house is located between Hofn and the glacier lagoon. You arrive by a beautiful gravel road in good condition. The house is on top of a promontory with fantastic views of the glaciers in the area. You can also see the sea at the back. Breakfast was included and was good. WIFI relatively fast. You have good views from the breakfast room and the terrace.

Nice little guesthouse. Our room is small and equipped with a basic bathroom. Location in a farm area. It's not a far drive from the ring road. Breakfast is ok, but good for the price.

United KingdomIf I was to be very critical the access to the chalet was a little awkward with heavy bags, being down either short steep slope or fairy narrow staircase. We were also unlucky in having several children, from the neighbouring chalet, burning off their energy in front of our chalet for a couple of hours. However this was not the owners fault and on the second night they had left and so we could fully enjoy the views over the ice sheet and listen to the birds.
We had our own chalet set apart from the house and the other residential block with only one other chalet as a near neighbour. This provided an excellent outlook. The constant accompaniment of bird calls was a real treat too. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast offered plenty of choice.

IndiaThe approach road to reach the property is not paved so could be a bit challenging if it is snow covered.
This was the best stay of our entire Iceland trip. We had booked the private washroom rooms and those are just across the main reception area. Fantastic room with super scenic views of the surrounding. We got to see northern lights at this location. Dinner provided by the hotel was super tasty. Staff was also very friendly.

NetherlandsThey could have added some more options on the bread for people who don't/can't eat dairy and meat, there was only jam..But they don't have lots of options in iceland i think.. The room was very warm, too warm. I missed a couch in the common area (to sit after dinner) but in the summer you have chairs outside.
nice surroundings, nice staff, good diner and breakfast with fresh bread (i asked for some dairy free products and there was crusli, egg, jam and oat milk). bed was comfy. Good value for your money, since breakfast was included.
