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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IcelandWe had a private bathroom which was great, but the smell from it was very musty and the whole room stank a bit from it. The pillows kinda smelled either like the sheets hadn't been changed or the smell from the bathroom had spread to them, but for that price it kinda didn't matter, so we would still stay there again.
Staff was great and the food was fantastic and very cheap compared to the city. The price of the room was also a bargain. We will definitely stay again.

Our room was very spacious with private bathroom which is not standard in remote Iceland. Estate itself is remote, but reminded me of Tuscuny, Italy - peaceful and quite. Breakfast was just like you face everywhere in Iceland, nothing too special but decesnt with wide products to choose

United StatesWe booked a room with three twin beds, and found one to be a sofa bed/futon.
Location was beautiful, views of the glacier were wonderful. Rooms were very nice and clean. The staff worked with us, washed a load of laundry for us(for a reasonable fee), and provided a gluten-free Breakfast for one of our family with celiac. They initially indicated they would not be able to provide dinner, but were able to specially make a salad. Staff were very friendly.

FinlandOur room was quite smelly, something wrong with the toilet plumbing maybe? It made us laugh a lot, in one night it was ok, and now we have memories and laughter about that smelly room.
It was unique, especially when the wind was so hard that you couldn’t really stay outside a lot. Lambs were eating outside of our window. This was experience as it self, we didn’t do anything else in Höfn.

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.
