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 KingdomSelf check in was a breeze we received all details in an email well in advance. It had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Shower had shampoo/conditioner. Had lovely views of the fjord with a surprise visit from Sebastian (or Stanley...?) the cat who asked to come in and made himself right at home. Hot tub was a special treat as well.

United StatesThe only negative was that there were no instructions on how to use to TV. And we wished we could have stayed longer!
A very cute little cabin in a lovely location. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. for us to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the extra bonus of a nice hot tub soak before bed. Really appreciated all the personal touches the owners have done.

GermanySince the weather conditions were extrem (around minus 20 degrees) there was a problem with the water pipes which were frozen . Of cause that is not the owners fault and he tried to fix it as quick as possible...
The Cabin was super cozy with cute decoration and nice interior. It was an awesome experience to stay there. We had a nice view at the bay. There was a pot of snow that had made out stay even more exciting. Location is super, close to Akureyi.

ItalyUnbelievable cabin with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and even a hot whirlpool outside. Located in the wood, we were welcomed by Molly and Bósi the owner's bunny and dog 🐰 🐶. The Cabin overlooks the fjorð and even if it's in a remote area it's very easy to find following maps directions. The owners were available and super kind.

United KingdomJust a minor thing - may need another baking sheet for the oven and there was a smell upon arrival (may have been the sulphur from the water!)
Lovely location, lovely cabin, lovely hot tub :) the cabin had everything we needed and was very warm and cozy. We appreciated the peace and quiet. Parking is just in front of the hosts’ house and then you walk to the woods in the back.

United StatesThe wifi did not work and when I asked the owner he did not seem too interested in helping me get it figured out. There were areas in the kitchen that could have been cleaner.
The location is very nice and the one cabin has a view. I liked the space inside.
