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.).

CroatiaOne of the best accommodations in Iceland, which I would recommend to everyone if they find themselves in this area. You have everything you need - a well-equipped kitchen, cleand bathroom, bedroom and living area. Mr. Baldur was a wonderful host and we had a nice conversation. His wife made very tasty homemade cakes.

SwitzerlandIt is soooo difficult to find something for this section...
Everything was amazing! Easily the best place we stayed during our whole 2 week travel in Iceland! This place is the proof that when someone puts their heart into something, it can turn out the best thing ever! Very cute, ideal size hut with everything someone needs: comfortable bed, spacious clean bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, relaxing sofa both inside and outside, very nice location and view. The hosts live just opposite and can be present if you need anything. They also facilitated us by allowing a bit later check in although not convenient for them without any problem. A few homemade cookies were also waiting for us as a little welcome treat. There is no better place to go around. Definitely worth the money, if we had more time, we would stay just to enjoy the calmness of the place.

United StatesNothing. If you’re looking for a location in a hotspot then this place isn’t right for you. We were looking for comfort, quiet and convenience and the location couldn’t have been better.
Perfect little cottage. Clean, bright and had everything we needed and then some (I don’t think there was laundry but we didn’t expect or need it). Location wasn’t in the middle of a tourist area but in a field at a lovely home in a small town easily accessible to all destinations- Akureyri, Husavik and Myvatn. The hosts baked fresh goodies that were delicious. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Set in a “green” location, grassy slopes and forest behind. Could hear the birds so a nice peaceful environment away from the Myvatn hordes! Well located for visiting different areas. Could have stayed a 3rd day but had to move on. The house was modern, clean, spacious and well equipped. Our hosts were very friendly, spoke good English so had perfect communication and we were welcomed with delicious home cooked biscuits. Petrol station and supermarket within 5 mins. Prices always difficult to rate as Iceland is expensive.

United StatesWe missed having a little freezer for our ice packs. That’s a minor thing though.
So nice and clean. In a location that was quiet, but close to many places we wanted to see in the Mývatn area as well as Husavik. Very comfortable little cabin. Comfortable bed and furnishings. Having a tv with Netflix was a nice bonus. Hosts were welcoming and even provided us with a home baked treat when we arrived.

United Statesnothing, it was a terrific stay
one of the most personable check-ins, came out to greet, got the key out from lockbox, brief tour, some homemade sweets. could very easily have made it just a lockbox thing, but i appreciated the extra mile. also loved that it wasn't blasting hot in there, could easily adjust the temperature with different heaters. location (laugur) is probably hopping during peak august, with a pool, trampoline, restaurant/store/gas all available. and there was not a bug in sight; i don't know how they did it, but that's rare sometimes, especially so close to myvatn.

Czech Republicthere is not much in the immediate vicinity. But everything is within driving distance, shops, restaurants and tourist attractions
Small garden cottage for two with everything you need, kitchenette, smaller living room, bedroom and bathroom. There is a hob, hot air fryer, electric kettle. Some food, cornflakes, coffee, tea, sugar, etc. are available. I appreciate the possibility of double darkening in the bedroom (it solves problems when the midnight sun shines outside, usually in the summer months in Iceland)

Situated in a peaceful location outside the village of Laugar. It is a self contained lodge at the rear of the owner's house. It is on the edge of a field, with views from the veranda. Well equipped with outside seating under cover. Able to watch the local bird life feeding in the field whilst having refreshments outside ine evening.

United StatesWe liked everything about it.
We’ve stayed at many small cabins around Iceland and this one exceeded our expectations. It’s very clean, well appointed, and cozy. The owners have taken care to attend to the small details. We visited in early October and the cabin was warm and well insulated. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The cabin is behind the owners house but is very private and has a nice view of the surrounding area.
