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.).

SpainA hotel in paradise. Located very close to Flateyri, it is a charming little hotel with even more charming staff. We arrived very late but the hotel made everything in the dining room kitchen available to us so we could prepare dinner with what we had in the car. So we were able to have a wonderful dinner and go to rest. Beautiful, clean and comfortable for the traveler. Taking care of all the details and that is very appreciated. Thank you for such a nice experience

United KingdomHot tub wasn't fully functional. Room blinds were broken so didn't pull down.
Great location with mountain views and very quiet. Has a hot tub and small beach by the Fjord. Has a big lounge area with comfortable seating and a big breakfast room. Breakfast was continental with a good choice. Our room was small but clean and comfortable with a mountain view. The bathroom / shower was good. Great location for Northern lights if the conditions are right.

IsraelNever really had interaction with staff until checkout. Fortunately none was necessary. We were under the impression that the hotel was in Flateyri when it is in Holt, a fair distance away (9 KM) , by car, across a bridge and quite isolated. We arrived a little late and finding a place to eat was difficult. Travelers should take this into account and eat and purchase any supplies before arriving.
Good breakfast, which was necessary due to isolated location. Hotel is surrounded by fields and many varieties of birds and flowers. Large clean room with hot showers. Hotel provided bikes, hot tub, small library and lounge deserving a longer stay than overnight. Mountain view. Trust system for soft drinks. Washing lines.

CanadaWe were disappointed in the hot tub, which is badly in need of a new cover. My husband was unable to open it without help from staff. Although the interior of the renovated school house was in good repair, the exterior is looking a little the worse for wear. And I was sad that the breakfast room didn’t take advantage of the beautiful views but was in the lower level with no windows you could see out of.
We loved the location in the countryside. Our room, though smallish, was perfectly comfortable and was big enough for an armchair in addition to the desk chair. My husband enjoyed his bicycle trip to a most unusual sand beach. We never met the owner but the couple staffing the inn were lovely and went out of their way to be helpful.

MaltaThere was nothing we didn't like during our stay
Everything at this place was great, from the welcome note for check-in (as we had to arrive later than the agreed time due to driving slower than expected) to the room and the outside area facilities. The location is quite in the middle of nowhere meaning peaceful and truly relaxing. The Inn even has an EV charging station for its guests which we were really appreciative for. The room was modern and although not big, it was very comfortable. We had a pivate bathroom with good water pressure and temperature too. Breakfast in the morning was great, they even had lactose free milk, which wasn't the case with other properties we stayed at during our trip. As for outside, you get 360 degrees of stunning views. There are 2 swings in a play area just before you get to the showers and hot tub. Totally clean and well-kept with the hot tub being the highlight. Perfect water temperature to enjoy the setting sun on a good weather evening.

United KingdomWe've stayed at much nicer hotels for a smaller price. Breakfast was a little poor. And aside from seeing someone when we checked in, we were in the whole big building by ourselves which made it feel slightly eerie considering you are in a very remote location. The last point I'm sure doesn't happen often but worth mentioning if you're off season explorers.
Location was great for people exploring the fjords rooms were a good size and comfortable. Not much around so eat before you get there if possible!
