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.).

United KingdomIt’s a curious place!… a hostel-hotel (most rooms have use of a communal bathroom) that is pretty tired looking. The main room (“bar”, dining area, pool table) feels a bit like a cavernous church hall. We were the only people staying (and the owners live separately in a small house) so it felt a bit odd - especially when we turned up to an empty place and had to phone so someone came over. Check in is not until 5pm (but they came to let us in when we arrived at 3.45). Compared to other places we stayed in Nth Iceland this felt expensive for the standard of accommodation.
The two guys that run this place have apparently taken it on in the last couple of years and are very enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. There is a pool table in the main “hall” area. And the breakfast was delicious (there’s a waffle maker!) Dinner can also be provided but you need to give 48hrs notice

United KingdomHotel is quite tired, haven't seen a renovation from 90s. Radiators were not the warmest.
The breakfast was fine, ability to make your own waffle was great. There is no kitchen per se, but you can boil water in a kettle in the breakfast area.

SwitzerlandThe hotel has so much potential and would require reinvestment and refurbishing as it is getting very old. No diner.
Amazing location, we did a drive after arriving at the hotel and we saw so many birds, then seals and finally a whale and a wonderful sunset!

United KingdomNo tea/coffee making facilities other than at breakfast time. During breakfast, the hot water to make tea was in a kettle which had been boiled earlier. So was not as hot as I would have liked my tea.
Breakfast was OK.

United StatesThis place was very fun to stay at - there are horses on site and the world's friendliest canine greeter! The location is great - ocean view and very close to beautiful sites. The owners are welcoming. It apparently used to be a school before it was a hotel. Rooms are clean, breakfast was good, and location can't be beat. I loved getting to see horses our our window!

United StatesA bit off of the beaten path and unconventional looking for a hotel, this newly re-opened hotel turned out to be a quaint and cozy place. The beds were super comfy and the rooms were very clean. Breakfast was great, too! I'd definitely stay there again!

United KingdomIt’s very old and could use a renovation. The floor wasn’t clean. The bed made squeaky noise each time you moved. To get a dinner, the closest place is 20 min away. The price was way too high for what it was.
It’s close to Hvítserkur

ItalyBreakfast is very poor. Not big choise of sweet food and quality is quite low.
The guesthouse is managed by a team of young and nice guys. The guesthouse was an old school so it has wide spaces, nice break area with a pool. Ideal place for people who like to stay in the middle of nowhere. Shared toilets and showers are clean.
