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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Great quiet location! And lovely comfortable room. Things were clean and tidy. Nice and warm with a little shower and kettle and coffee machine in the room. There are washing facilities if you need them, just ask. Nice pretty horses on the property. Comfortable beds and a good night's sleep.

United KingdomVery busy place. People kept coming IN and OUT non stop with cars. Best is when somebody comes with car (big pickup) in the middle of the night and leaves the engine running next to your cottage for half hour. So it was a very disturbed sleep. It's not necessary a staff's fault, it's just how it is there.

BelgiumNothing, it was perfect! Keep in mind though arriving with a car would be much more practical to move around in the area, but I guess most of the people staying in Akureyri do just that anyhow!
Our cabin was the heaven we were hoping to find in Iceland. All the way up north, just next to Akureyri, the most northern big town in Iceland, yet far enough from it to enjoy the peace and quiet nature and the fjord. In the mornings we were woken up to the endless whiteness coming from the snow and the ice in the valley visible from our cabin. We enjoyed cooking in the shared kitchen in the main house, having the morning coffee in the hot tub outside on -15, and then taking off to our day trips anywhere. The proximity to Akureyri allowed us to enjoy some northern city vibes too, with the possibility to have drinks or a meal in one of the gorgeous places there! The slopes were also very close, just a short 10-12 drive from our cabin. The highlight was the nighttime: we were blessed to have the Aurora Borealis almost every night, and our stay was perfect for it: almost no light pollution at all, an outdoor hot tub that allowed us to enjoy the lights soaked in hot water with some drinks, silence everywhere, just wonderful and out of this world experience! We loved also our hosts, they were amazing and always available, thank you Andrea and Christian with your family, for everything! Highly recommend this place for a northern paradise vacation!

ItalyNumbers on cottages don't really follow an order (or at least we didn't get it), so we had to drive around a bit before finally asking the owner. We didn't want to bother her since it was 9pm but eventually we did, and she was super nice and helped us immediately.
The owners are super nice and friendly. The place is beautiful: it was wonderful to have breakfast looking out of our window to the countryside, and in the common area/kitchen we surprisingly had dinner with two other Italian guests (shoutout to Sean and Elisa from Lucca!), who were super nice. In the kitchen, you can leave stuff for other people to use, and utilize the ingredients that have been left. There even are some eggs for sale, but I recommend to have some cash on you, since you need will need Icelandic krona (coins) to buy them.
