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.).

SpainThe lodge is outstanding. It has excellent amenities, highlighting the bed whose mattress is ultra comfortable, and the full kitchen that has all kinds of utensils and appliances. The decor and layout is perfect and we especially loved the window on the roof of the attic. If we ever visit Iceland again we will definitely repeat in this accommodation.

United KingdomThere isn't a cooker in the kitchen which would be an issue for some people staying. It wasn't for us as we planned ahead.
Absolutely amazing spot in southern Iceland. Perfect for exploring the coast and wonderful to come back to. Perfect for some Northern Light spotting as there's no light pollution. We really enjoyed a relaxing stay and would 100% stay again.

United KingdomWe stayed at this place on two occasions, on the first occasion there was heavy snowfall and it was a bit of a task to get the car to the cabin, however for our second stay the snow had been cleared from the road and wasn't much of a issue.
Lovely cabin and great place to spend a night near the seljalandsfoss waterfall and hunt for northern lights. Everything you need is availble including coffee machine, kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery.

United StatesThe loft bed was very cramped for a tall teenage son. Having a kitchenette was great, but for clarity, know that there is no oven, the stovetop is small (and took a long while to boil water), and there is no ventilation above the stovetop which does limit what you can cook. We also had a lot of difficulty with the keypad door lock that involved multiple calls to the (very helpful) staff to unlock or override.
A cute cottage in a great location near Seljandasfoss waterfall, and 45 minutes from Vik.

UK Virgin IslandsWe loved it and we intend to come back. Having said that, what would have made it 10 out of 10 is an outside hot tub and an electric charging station for the car.
Beautiful Scandi designed cottage in an excellent location - it feels wild and remote but is around the corner from many stellar sightseeing spots. Lovely interiors and with its giant windows a perfect place to watch the Northern Lights. Breakfast was exceptional, I’m still dreaming about the doughnuts.

United StatesThere are two bedrooms, one being a loft upstairs and one downstairs. The loft is tight and thus this would be better for one couple or perhaps one couple and two children. It is tight for two adult couples.
Lovely modern cabin adjacent to multiple waterfalls on Highway one. Technically two bedrooms and one bathroom although a bit tight for two couples. Full Kitchenette. Delicious delivered breakfast.
