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 reviewThe location is absolutely stunning; peaceful, pristine, and the perfect place to relax. The owners were friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our room was clean, cozy, and we really appreciated the quiet surroundings. A special thank you to the female owner, who was extremely kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to help us with the food we brought, even though the guesthouse didn’t have a kitchen. We’re very grateful for her generosity and hospitality.
Although the listed checkout time was 10:00 AM, we were pressured to leave around 9:00 AM. We rushed as the male owner knocked on both the bedroom and bathroom door and requested us to leave soon, so we ended up leaving by 9:15. Had we known the actual expected checkout time was earlier, we would have definitely left early. Other than that, the owners were overall kind and friendly, and the house was gorgeous.
Thank you very much for staying here with us. And I am very sorry, that you did have to leave 9.15 am. I didn't know. You are very nice people. Take care. All the best. 🙂

Verified reviewVery welcoming hosts and beautiful house. We really liked how well the room was equiped with shelves and lighting. One can trully feel that the guests comfort was in mind by the owners. Room was clean and great thing that it had a sink. Beds were comfy, there were no noises coming from the outside.
The microwave to warm up some food would be very useful. The shower upstairs were the rooms are was not working, so the only one downstairs was available. However, we did not run into other guests so it was fine. Walls are thin, so if not whispering the other quests were hearable.

Verified reviewThe house itself is wery beautiful. Location is amaizing. Pure clear beautiful nature around. The wiev from the balkony was literally breathtaking, I could look at it forever. However, some circumstances of our staying were frustrating.
On the day of our arrival there was heavy rain and the road conditions were so bad, we realized that we were unable to reach the place by 9:00 PM. However, usually it is normal to allow people to arrive later, or provide self-check-in if needed. Most of tourists in Iceland do a road trip around all the island and the road and the weather can be unpredictable. Despite of I feel guilty for being late for an hour after check-in time, I want to give an honest review. On booking.com it is stated that the place has a dining area but no kitchen. I presumed that it means the presence of a kettle, microwave, maybe a toaster, a table and a minimum of utilities so that you could make simple sandwiches and eat them, because there is no cafe or supermarket nearby. If not, then what is the dining area for? We were on the road for more than 4 hours and were starving. As it turned out, the place only has a shelf with a kettle, coffee maker and cups, tea and coffee. It's not allowed to make or eat food in the house. Being on the road and realizing that we were late, I warned the host about our arrival time and asked if there was a place where we could make sandwiches and have a snack. This unexpectedly irritated the host so much that she told me (because I was careless and absent-minded about house rules!) to find another place to stay, she is not going to host us anymore! Let me remind you, it was already late evening, it was pouring rain and we were in the middle of nowhere! It was so unexpectedly cruel and unfair! (FYI, the money had already been taken) Finally, I almost begged her to let us in! After arrival, we discovered everywhere a lot of scary rules about what not to do in the house. The whole time we were there, because of all the oppressive atmosphere around and how they communicated before I really felt afraid that something bad would happen and was happy to check out. Maybe it was only my impression, but that's for what reviews are made, so be informed.
You don't wanna have this people in your place. I warn you. They don't follow any house rules. They are very rude. I don´t recommend them to anyone. please be careful. I regret, that I let them in to my home. I shouldn´t have. (:
