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 have no complaints
The person running (guy from Romania) things was amazing. He allowed us to move our reservation to a day earlier due to a storm in northern Iceland. He was very friendly, gave great recommendations and seemed to run the entire place. Everything was clean, the hot tubs were nice, the troll stuff was fun. We had a great time after an exhausting escape from crazy snow conditions in the north.

Poland1. Showers - I assume possibly too few for the number of people that could be hosted there. Although personally I did not experience that, but I saw people queueing in front of them. Please not that these are also community showers. 2. WiFi - we had a pod in a bit further line from the restaurant, and basically wifi was not working there.
The pods are great - warm and cosy, sometimes even too warm :) parking space next to the pod is a nice touch, as well as the trees planted thoughtfully bwetween the pod lines. Location is great as a stop for the nearby things to see and some hikes, or when on the route. But the highlight to us were the tubs with the hot springs water! It provided absolutely amazing rest to our muscles after long hikes that we did every day!

The facilities are excellent. Love the restaurant, you can ask for any of the 1000s vinyls to be played. Enjoyed a bit of Madness with my dinner. Food was excellent - the fish stew was amazing. Washroom facilities were always clean. The pod itself was clean, comfortable mattress, excellent heating in it and a small fridge to keeps some cans cold. Staff were super friendly.

NorwayCharming place with small camping pods and cottages in different sizes, located next to a beautiful waterfall. Clean and tidy, and with nice facilities such as a shared kitchen, hot tubs and restrooms. They also had a troll garden and playground for kids. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast (not included) was nice. Great value for money!

United KingdomNot enough sinks. Showers are too close to one another - could do with some kind of deviders.
We loved everything about our stay at Fossatun Camping Pods. All the facilities were good. We loved the hot tub. And the hill where you could go and admire the Northern Lights is close. The atmosphere is very nice. There are enough utensils, pots, pans and plates for everyone. The kettles could be a bit bigger. Breakfast was good. The price for it was a bit dear, but compared to the prices in Iceland, it was good. Also, you have to pay for bedding. This stay was unforgettable. We might even consider coming back.

United KingdomWe loved our stay. The pod was cozy. The kitchen had an electric hob, kettle, fridge toaster and an air fryer. The hot tub was great to relax after a long day on the road. One night we could see a tiny bit of northern lights behind the mountain. The troll waterfalls were a lot nice than I expected. I would recommend this accommodation to friends.
