How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBeautiful room and less people to share a bathroom with compared to previous place Lots of coffee and tea available Helpful host
Unfortunately it was the yearly festival. I wish I’d known in advance. Loud band and people up to 3am shouting and singing just ten foot from the front door. Not the hosts fault but could have done with a warning. We would have changed our plans

Verified reviewWe travelled in Iceland for three weeks, both camping and staying in guesthouses, and Árból was by far the best place we stayed at. It was a last minute booking and I can´t believe how lucky we were. The hosts were super nice, communicative both before check-in and during our stay. They even helped us to get in touch with the local brewery which wasn´t open for public during our stay and answered our random tourist questions in a very kind way (they must have heard them a thousand times). We stayed in a double room, which was comfortable and even elegant, like the whole interior decoration of the house. There was complimentary tea and coffee 24/7 and also fresh coffee (and fruit) in the morning. The room was in the middle floor where there were three bathrooms with two showers and three toilets but didn´t have to queue once even if the guesthouse was fully booked. For two nights we managed to snatch a parking spot next to the house and the last night after a day driving to Dettifoss and Mývatn, we parked on the other side of the street on a public parking area.

Verified reviewJust me traveling - a great cozy, comfy room with a view down "main" street and the harbor. A comfy chair provided a great spot to relax and look out onto the town while drinking both my afternoon and morning coffee. Bathrooms were spotless with well-worded instructions on use. Breakfast - healthy and a variety of breakfast foods including milk, o.j., and coffee. Comfy bed, quiet.
I can't think of anything to improve upon.
