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.).

NetherlandsWe liked everything! There was a small waterfall behind the cottage, so when we opened the window a little, we could hear that relaxing sound. The heating was excellent and the bed very comfortable. We were lucky to see the white landscape, covered with a lot of snow and the next day it had already melted so we could see the green of the mountains and meadows, a completely different landscape. It was wonderful to see the starry sky from the comfort of the small living room of the cottage thanks to its large windows. We would definitely stay here again even though it can be a bit expensive.

United KingdomMy only suggestion would be to have an information sheet for guests for when they arrive, particularly as this is self check-in accommodation. The owners sent a useful message prior to arriving, but an information sheet still would have been appreciated. Apart from that, we had a great stay
The cabin was very nicely organised and comfortable. The view was spectacular, and you're not far from Vik and other notable locations. The bed was soft and welcoming after a long day trekking. Definitely a great choice for accommodation in the area

United StatesThe bathroom is a bit narrow, minor inconvenience.
The cottage is super clean and comfortable. We slept like babies. Small kitchen but with ample space for small meals and equipped with coffee maker. The location is very private and we were able to see so many stars on a clear night. We booked last minute during November and price was very reasonable for a great location near Vik. Wish we could have stayed longer!

United KingdomShower did not get hot. Also poorly designed so that basket containing shampoo etc was in the way so couldn’t stand under water properly.
Excellent location to feel like in an isolated remote location but not too far from town of Vik. Good facilities although some of furnishings were a little cheap. Overall however a good place to stay.

United StatesThe only negative about this place was the water was cold. No matter how long we let the water run in the shower it would never fully heat up past lukewarm. With that being said, I would definitely stay at this location again.
The cottage was absolutely adorable in a beautiful location with views all around. It was very clean and very warm and inviting. Check in was easy. Check out was easy. The owner met us at the cottage to check us in late at night in the cold. She was super sweet and welcoming!

AustraliaThe lock was faulty on the front door but it didn't bother us as we knew how safe the country is! We did tell the host at Check out and they were happy to fix!
The location, view, cleanliness, the serenity, layout of the cottage and the list continues! If you get lucky and have clear skies during the aurora Borealis months then you'll be able to get some great photos! Highly recommend! No need for phones as you can sit in the from of the cottage and just admire the view! 10min drive to Vik and Black sand beach!

United KingdomThat we had to leave so soon!
Loved this little hut/cabin. A great experience waking up to the black sand beach views, incredible sunrise/sunsets as the front wall of the cabin is glass, the back view is a mountain with sheep and a little fresh water spring. Gorgeous setting and a very unique experience as opposed to staying in a hotel. Loved it. Extremely convenient for Vik and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend. And parking was available - which costs a bomb in the City.

United Arab EmiratesWiFi was not available. It was not a deal breaker as we knew it at the time of booking. It would have been nice to have additional racks or hooks for clothes
Exceeded my expectations with location, view, privacy, cottage kitchenette amenities (utensils, crockery, salt and pepper), comfort of the cottage and bed. There were even cream biscuits in the cupboard which we loved so much. Vik village is just a short drive away from the cottage. Definitely coming back here again.
