Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe clean was very superficial. And the bed didn't have a real mattress, It was more like a sponge.
Has a wonderful view and the online communication was great! The space was pretty big, a big dining room! The house was warm even when outside it was cold and windy.

PolandYou should wash the dishes before using them. There is no washing machine and it happens that the glasses/cups or cuttlery are dirty.
The guesthouse is located closed to the road, in a good spot to observe the northern lights. The windows facing north are very helpful. There is a hot tub on each terrance, where the guest might hop in to observe the northern lights or the nearby ocean coast (by day). The 3-room apartment was spacious and at a very good price.

United States of AmericaThe registration building is a bit hard to find, because it is not directly at the entrance, it is an extremely small building, and the sign is not obvious. Also, the attendant is usually nearby, but seldom in the building.
Guesthouse Hof is located in the countryside near the ocean. The location was great for going to Snaefellsjokull National Park and there is a view of the Snaefellsjokull glaciated volcano from the site. There are a few nearby restaurants but a car would be a necessity. We stayed in a half-cabin with a small ensuite bathroom. It was very appropriate for the setting. We did have some noise from our cabin neighbors, but just the drone of talking voices. The cabin room was small, but workable. They have a shared building with a kitchen and Wi-Fi. There is no Wi-Fi in the cabins. The kitchen was sufficient for cooking an evening meal and was quite busy. If planning to use the kitchen, plan ahead as there are no grocery stores nearby. Parking is free and directly outside the cabin or room. Breakfast is not provided, but there is a water pot in the room.

CanadaWe weren't overly impressed with the bathroom. The shower was very dark and slightly tight. It was really windy during our stay, so we didn't have access to the hot tub that was part of the accommodation.
Location nicely located off the highway with a view of the ocean was nice. Beds were comfortable, and there was a large eating area in our guesthouse.

United States of AmericaI'm sure if I would have asked, everything would have been corrected, but I was tired. The towels were thin and limited to the number of guests in the room. The bunk beds were not comfortable for a fat American man. The futon in the living area was, however!
The location is absolutely beautiful! Our the back door is an active farm. The room was spacious and extremely clean! The hostess was so kind and friendly. She helped us locate a place to eat, and her recommendations were great!

IsraelA bit hard to find at night, but we managed. You have to take your shoes off at the entrance. Room is a bit too small. Some insects around. There's a small public kitchen for all the guests, it means you literally have to go outside for it, since it's on another cabin.
Great location in a beautiful place. A small cabin with lots of privacy. It's a self check-in hotel, so a late check-in is acceptble and you can travel with no pressure. Very good price for Iceland in the summer. Also, there's a cat :)
