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 KingdomJust two points, which definitely didn’t spoil our stay but could perhaps be sorted some way to make it even better. The blinds are not adequate as they only cover the bottom half of the windows - fine in the dark months but not good in the summer when it really doesn’t get dark at all. Yes, there are eye masks available but they’re small, uncomfortable and don’t keep the light out properly. When you wake in the morning the first thing you’ll want to do is raise the blinds to look at the amazing views but at night most will probably need darkness to feel tired. The shower is lovely..great water pressure but unfortunately leaks (clearly this has been ongoing for some time by the looks of the wooden floor) it’s a simple fix job to grout the inside of the cubical which would sort it out. Otherwise the towels are needed to mop up the pools of water each time. Again, definitely didn’t spoil our stay, just seems a shame for the floor to be getting damaged by lack of a simple fix.
beautiful cabin, totally relaxing, well equipped and in a great location. The views are amazing and the hot tub fantastic! We cooked each evening, the kitchen all works well and the supermarket in Selfoss was an easy stop before arriving at the cabin. It’s cozy, romantic and a pretty special place

United KingdomThis was an amazing place to stay but it lacked a few home comforts such as kitchen tea towels, a little starter pack of kitchen products etc. It would also be good to have some extra towels for the hot spring. We were snowed in whilst we were there so a shovel on-site would have been a major help. There was also a couple of issues with the facilities, the fireplace didn’t really work and the shower leaks into the bedroom. BUT, still an amazing place to stay and these did not detract from the experience… with a couple of tweaks it could be perfect!
A stunning cabin in a beautiful location, the property is finished to a very high standard. The views were unbelievable. We felt very remote but it’s actually conveniently located only 20 minutes from Selfoss, which is a beautiful little town.

GuernseyThe only tiny thing was that the step in the hot tub to help you get in and out was very slippery, so we had to be careful there but it didn’t hamper how much we enjoyed staying here at all.
The whole cabin was beautiful, we loved the design and big windows and the hot tub was the best place to start and end our days. It was so quiet and peaceful too, you could hear birdsong and that was it!

United KingdomWe rented this property partially because it had a fire place and we thought we will have a fabulous New year's atmosphere there. But disappointingly the fire never worked due strong wind and differences of the temperature (according to the hostess). Iceland is a cold country and gets windy quite often, so don't really understand what's the point of having a gas fire if it never works.
The place was very lovely, looked new and with a great design. Good location for those who wants to do Golden circle, Selfoss town is not far either.

United StatesThe shower is unusable, the way it is designed allows for water to escape the shower cube. Water flows freely from the shower into the bedroom. Wifi is extremely unstable, leading to persistent outages. We booked for three nights, but my wife and I had to leave after two because I need the wifi for work and this wifi had too many outages. Property owner was apathetic to my situation.
The location is fantastic, secluded but close enough to Selfoss that you can get gas grocery etc.. Extremely clean and comfortable bed and couch. View is beautiful. Furniture is top of the line.

Finland…the facilities aren’t thought-through tho. The shower (even a quick one) leaks all the way to the couch. There isn’t a floor heating (or possibility to turn it off yourself during the summer) to dry out the floor from that or after using the inside tub. An army of midges don’t let you use outdoor tub unless it’s raining or cold. No space to hide the luggage. We really enjoyed our quick stay, but few smaller fixes could make it so much more enjoyable and practical long-term
The view is fantastic, feeling is remote and the whole place is very stylish and 360-degree instagrammable
