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.).

AustraliaAlthough one of the attractions was the chance to see the Northern Lights, when I got up at midnight to look for them, all the surrounding cabins had their outside lights on. And the outside lights on our cabin kept blinking incessantly even though I turned them off, so I couldnt sit in the lounge.
Stunning location, beautiful vegetation Well designed and comfortable shared lounge/kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows The nearby restaurant, Läven, had exceptional quality food

AustraliaSome extra cooking utensils and microwave would be nice. Sharing with strangers. Twice was surprised by extra guests arriving. Maybe should be told when there’ll be others staying. Fortunately they were nice people but many wouldn’t like this.
Modern, comfortable/cosy with cooking/ washing/laundry facilities. Good heating and a good wood heater with firewood. Fantastic views. Good private bathroom.

United StatesSuch an amazing set up: small comfortable room and you can go into the living room/kitchen which has a host of facilities. Loved the large glass windows. I wish we could have stayed longer! I know now that this will be a must come-to during the summer months. We got a bit lucky in how we had the whole cabin to ourselves (there are 3 rooms that all share a kitchen/common area; I'm sure it can be tons of fun getting to know other guests whenever they are there).

United KingdomNothing to dislike, but the bedrooms were a little on the small side!
A gorgeous lodge on the edge of the beach in a wonderful location. We also had fantastic weather and were able to view the aurora every night, which definitely met the marketing expectations! The restaurant on site also had amazing food and hospitality. We had an unforgettable experience.

Superb location and a cozy, warm at walking distance from the beach. The rooms are small, but perfect for a cabin, while the dining/living area is super nice, well furnished, and more than sufficient for 6-8 people. The kitchen is great and very well equipped. The view is stunning, with auroras shining just over your head.

Location far from light pollution was perfect to watch the amazing Northern Lights show. The house was incredible, sparking clean. I really appreciate that they put all the different persons in different houses when they could have packed the houses with several people having private room in shared house. I was alone and it was just perfect. Thanks !

BelgiumLocation: the house number was almost impossible to find without the help of the lady of the golfclub where we had to pick up the keys. The communication said we had to pick up the keys from restaurant Låven but that was wrong. Luckily Låven and the golf club are just a 3 min drive from each other.
On the lofoten, the best place to stay for sure. It's located at the very end of Laven. Nearby a golf course and nearby the starting point of a hike (Hoven 368m) We had the entire house. It was too big for us but we enjoyed all the views from this glass house. The kitchen was spacious, but be careful to bring all your food along since the nearest supermarket is very far away. You can buy baguettes at the local golfclub or nearest and only restaurant nearby is Låven. All rooms were very nice and the bathroom as well. They had a nice outdoor sofa and a big balcony facing the sea. Nice for walking and just relaxing. Peaceful.
