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.).

United Stateslocation was wonderful, it's nice the cabins are separated from each other and from the main lodging. back porch with bbq, and we cooked most of our meals onsite. convenient to town, but in a small community. we would come back and would recommend this to others. watching and photographing the northern lights from the porch was great!

UruguayIt's probably a cultural thing, but the double duvet is not an enjoyable thing! Getting to the exact location was not that simple ( we reached the street with no issue, but the house itself was not easily marked, and same with our room). Not impossible to find, just a little tricky the first time!
The views are really good, good value for money, and location.

IcelandExceptional facilities. I booked a room. There are only about 3-5 rooms in the apartment (if your booking a room, the cabins ofc are private). The rooms share a wc, shower, a kitchen with everything you need and even a TV area. You only share the area/facilities with other travelers wich is really cosy :) The shared area is also stylish, clean and roomy. And the view, ohh what a great one ! My room had a view over the ocean and mountains. Love the location, short drive to the city (Akureyri) and yet a country vibe in a peaceful area. Also, I didn't get back pain, my back was fine. Stayed for 2 nights, but I often get back pain from hotel beds. The bed was good :)

United StatesRoom was extremely small for two. Didn’t have a dresser or a place to place luggage. Power outlet was placed over bed and it wasn’t recessed so power converter hung haphazardly potentially could fall on one’s head. It was missing a place ledge or small shelf to place make up. Didn’t realize that it was a shared bathroom or that it’s self check in and had a panic attack trying to contact them with no WiFi or cell service. They did respond and get me the right info though so not as bad. They also pre-sent info that I didn’t notice so that’s on me.
Very clean and updated interior. Well stocked kitchen for self cooks. Bathrooms clean. I was shocked it was a shared bathroom but because it was relatively clean it wasn’t as gross as I imagined. Water views were nice and they had a nice open eating area in kitchen and off.

AustraliaThe location is a farming area, so there were a number of flies trapped inside the kitchen. The kitchen was otherwise clean and functional. The room was a little bit on the small side but is fine if you’re travelling with a weekend duffle or carry-on luggage.
The location is beautiful and quiet, a nice drive up the road from the main town. Bathroom and toilet were separated to make sharing with other guests easier. Plenty of seating for everyone if you’re making your own meals. Free wifi!

IcelandThere was not much to complain about, maybe to mention you could hear very well when people where going in and out of the place but our room was located by the front door, but even so we slept very well.
The bed was wonderful, slept very well in it, it was so peaceful there. Really liked the place, met the host, had a little talk and he was very friendly and easy to talk to, I recommend this place highly.

United StatesThis is an impeccable guesthouse with wonderful rooms. It is so comfortable and feels like a home. The staff is communicative and excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I really loved that our room had two rooms and a hallway in it. We finally got some space. The way they designed the guesthouse is to maximize comfort of the guests. And it is very clean and well decorated.
