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 KingdomWe had to pay extra for sheets and towels and make our own beds, and limited capacity in the restaurant meant bookings were essential or flexible eating times
Felt like an authentic Rorbuer experience, very cosy cabin that was sympathetically furnished with a great kitchen and good bathroom.

United KingdomFrom how it was advertised it was not obvious that the property is not part of the fishing huts. Instead it’s in the back of a more industrial area of the small town yet far away from shops or restaurants. For that it’s quite pricey
It was very modern and new and clean. Very near a wonderful hike

FinlandThe tiny bay by which the rorbu is situated can be smelly from time to time due to algae.
The two-bedroom appartment/ rorbu was fantastic and very well equipped. The location was good as you can easily reach Kvalvika Beach, Mannen and Henningsvaer by car.

FinlandThe rooms are in actual old fishermans housing so the sound proofing is not great but people seem to be considerate of this. Heard a little bit from the neighbours in the morning but nothing that actually kept us up at night. Bedding was not included in the price. You can rent it on the spot and make the bed yourself, but I think this could just be added to the price so that you can arrive into a freshly made bed.
This place has a great atmosphere that seems to keep up the old-time fishing spirit. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and included a small kitchen and bathroom. To our surprise it even had a little terrace where one could look over the bay. We however chose to sit at the bar terrace as it had some amazing woodwork of eagles and fishes and a bunch of fish drying in the salty air. Definitely a recommendation if you are looking for an authentic experience in a small fishing village in Lofoten.

United KingdomIt wasn’t obvious to me when I booked that towels and bed linen were not included so we were surprised to have to pay extra. As the accommodation was advertised as a rorbu, I was slightly disappointed that we weren’t in a stand-alone building but just in part of a larger building. It didn’t quite have that rorbu feeling I was expecting.
Nice location and accommodation. The beds were very comfy and the room was clean. Staff was friendly.

NorwayThey should mention during the booking that you need to buy bedding at the counter ( approx. 100 nok/ bedding) and is not included in the booking fees. Our house was the first from so the area outside the Pier smelled really bad, maybe the water level was really low and had no internet connection at all. There are two floors in the house, we were in the ground floor and could hear the footsteps(really loud) from the guests above. Finally, kitchen didnt have exhaust fan.
Location was really good. Staffs were really friendly, cool interior and big property. Nice clean bathroom, bedrooms and kitchen. Air Condition worked really good.

NorwayPaying additional money for bed sheets and towels is simply ridiculous when you pay this price for accommodation! Wifi was working only by the window and not further away. If someone doesn’t have a local SIM card and can use 4/5G it can be a problem, I assume.
The property is situated in a beautiful surrounding, with 5 minutes to the nearest hiking trail. We had quite recently renovated cabin.

CanadaThere is only a small window for the room so it is difficult to aerate it, it get warm and humid pretty fast. The price was quite high for not having room service every day.
Nice little hotel right on the water. Our room was small but had very comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. A plus was that just outside the room there was a small kitchen which was great for preparing breakfast by ourselves. The hotel is in a very quiet area and is in the perfect location for exploring the surroundings.
