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 StatesI would've liked better directions with the stove to maybe include pictures. I accidentally hit the lock button and it took us a while to figure out how to unlock it. Which was just holding the locking button again, but the directions mentioned a key button so I wasn't sure what that was. Other than me not knowing how to use an induction stovetop everything was great
We stayed in the split cabin and it was very cute. The bed is incredibly comfy with stunning views out the window. It was cloudy the two nights we stayed with low aurora activity so no luck for us. It was also close to town, but not so close that the light pollution would've ruined aurora views. The shower was also very nice with a large space. It was close to some amazing spots to visit along route 1 and about an hour from Diamond Beach.

United StatesNOTHING wrong!
These are fantastic little cabins outside of Hofn. PLENTY of space. Comfortable couch. The name is ON POINT, we saw the aurora on our second night. The beauty of these is that you are very close to the town of Hofn without having to be IN town with all the light (this is important for aurora hunting). We would 100% stay here again.

We got to see Northern Lights on our 2nd night here and thankful for that coz was hoping for that when we plan our holiday to visit 🇮🇸 in December. Cottage is cozy and warm and bed is comfortable to sleep thru the night despite we experiencing windstorm when we checked in on our first night. Kitchen is small and basic for us to cook simple dinner. Takes abt an hour drive to Diamond Beach & Jokulsarlon for our ice cave tour. Hofn town is abt 5mins drive and there is N1 petrol kiosk and Netto supermarket to grab groceries. We didn’t visit any restaurant there as we plan to cook lunch and dinner. Vestrahorn/Stokksnes it takes abt 18mins drive from cottage. Definitely return here when we planned to visit 🇮🇸 during the midnight sun.

United StatesWe had no issues.
Our stay at the Aurora Cabins was fantastic! We loved it there. The views were incredible, and it was super easy to find. Clean, comfortable, and convenient. There are two Adirondack chairs on a hill next to the cabins, and even further up the hill, there is a bench... It's very serene to sit watching the view from those spots. They even had a welcome packet with instructions to aid their guests. I would definitely recommend staying here!
