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.).

SingaporeZero soundproofing amidst very noisy doors and locks. The flurry of bedtime routines like bathroom use meant it was impossible to sleep early. Someone arrived at 3am and caused quite a din. Bedroom balcony door could not lock due to misalignment.
Sunset views of the fjords from the room. No road or roofs to block the views, just a small grassy patch. Outdoor deck accessible via balcony. Complimentary bread, butter, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juice. Effective floor heating. No shoes in the house policy. Some hotels in Iceland remove one set of bedding and towel if only one person was staying in a double room. Not here.

United StatesFor 6 rooms, there were only 2 bathrooms (2 toilets and 3 showers). Not enough when the property is full.
The location was gorgeous as it was right on the water. Too bad it was so cloudy we couldn't see any northern lights! The beds were very comfortable and warm. We were in a triple so space was a bit tight. Try to get a room facing the water so you can also see the whales swim up! A bonus was meeting the adorable pup that showed up the next morning!!

IrelandIn the bathroom the toilets are beside the shower with just curtains separating them, so the floor in front of the toilet was wet even when guests wiped the floor. The kitchen/dining/sitting room was far too hot yet the rooms were (thankfully!) much cooler I would suggest putting more labels on the kitchen presses/drawers to help find stuff
Fabulous view from room into fjord. Really appreciated the owner advising the guests about oncoming bad weather.

BrazilThere were only 2 bathrooms for all rooms. Unfortunately we were not lucky with our neighbors, they were super loud, slammed doors all the time and spoke loudly, they even drank our juice that was in the fridge in one of the non breakfast shelves. The facility itself is not bad but your experience will be very influenced by your neighbors. The management could reconsider the locking mechanisms on the doors as they make a lot of noise when closing. And the outside door of our room had to be closed in a very specific way as the hole that was supposed to fit the lock was out of place. An old person would struggle a lot to close it alone. It took both of us to close the door.
Nice view, the room was very comfortable. Really cute and friendly dogs. You can use the kitchen to cook if you want to.
