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):
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 StatesThe room was very hot and there is no way to ventilate without opening window. However it gets noisy outside because of proximity to the road. Also the walls are very thin and if your neighbors are loud like ours were, it can be disruptive. Especially when it's 2 am.
Location was great. Shower was also good and bed was comfortable.

Czech RepublicThe biggest problem here were the biting midges and the warmth. So the room is incredibly hot and the only way to let some fresh air there is to let the doors open. But if you do so, hundreds of biting midges will come feast on you. I understand that the accommodation can't really eliminate either of those things but you would thing that being next to a lake, they would at least install some nets into the small window and the doors. Also the beds were incredibly soft which was not pleasant but that is a personal prefence thing.
The room was overall nice, the little terrace is cute and I liked the parking spot right in front of the room. Bathroom was clean and checkin and checkout were both self done and smooth.

FinlandThe room is quite small for 2 big luggage and two people, but doable. It could use some deep cleaning. There was no shampoo or shower gel.
Quiet, great beds, roomy bathrooms, private bathroom, reasonable price

LithuaniaThe Wi-Fi only worked for a few hours, then it just disappeared. There’s also a bit of a lack of cleanliness, but the situation is definitely not bad.
The room is truly in a wonderful location! It has all the essential items (kettle, fridge), and nothing was missing for a short stay. Super :)

FinlandI had trouble finding the place but that’s probably on me. It’s the same building as the restaurant in case anyone else is wondering.
Very clean and cute, much nicer than in the pics. Felt like my own cabin instead of just a room. No complaints. Great location near the Fontana spa and roughly in the middle of the golden circle.

Slovenia…but it wasn’t practical. The sink was so small you couldn’t even pour water in a bottle nor wash your face. The table was tiny and covered in leather which made it dofficult to clean. The cattle was very useful but also not practical as you had to unplug it every time you wanted to pure the water in.
It was clean and the self check in made it flexible to enter. It looked very beautiful…

LatviaShower smelled a bit, but nothing serious, could live with that.
Location was really nice. Enjoyed that key pickup and drop off was self service, so we could come any time wanted. Initially though that with hot air heater we might be cold during the night, but that assumption was wrong, it was even too hot.

GermanyThe bed was noticeably saggy and worn out, which impacted overall comfort. The room was not very clean upon arrival. It was also quite noisy. While the staff at the café next door were friendly and helpful, they were the only ones we could reach at all — messages sent via Booking.com remained unanswered for months, and the listed phone number led nowhere. This poor communication made it difficult to arrange anything before, during, or after the stay. The most serious issue, however, occurred during the night: after two quick showers, water flooded the entire bathroom due to a clogged drain, which, according to staff, had not been properly cleaned beforehand. It even started to seep slightly into the bedroom area. We had to mop everything up ourselves using the provided towels. As a result, the towels were no longer usable, and the bathroom remained wet and uncomfortable for the rest of the stay — we could only use it for brushing our teeth. Although someone came to check the next morning and admitted that the drain hadn’t been cleaned properly, I never received any reply to my follow-up emails. Had there been proper communication and a willingness to resolve the issue, this review would have probably turned out differently.
The accommodation is located in the small town of Laugarvatn, right by the lake and within the Golden Circle area, which made it convenient for sightseeing. The café next door was charming, and the staff there were friendly and helpful. One highlight was the lovely dog at the café, who made the atmosphere even more welcoming. Thanks to the café staff, we were also able to arrange an early check-in, which we really appreciated. The room itself had potential and offered enough space for a short stay.

SpainUnfortunately, this was the worst stay during our two-week round trip in Iceland. The room was extremely warm, and the only way to get fresh air was by opening the window — which let in a lot of midges. I ended up with more than 20 bites after just one night. The cleanliness was disappointing: the room wasn’t very clean, and even the bed sheets were dirty. The walls are very thin, and the door didn’t close properly, so when other guests returned at night, it felt like they were entering our room. Overall, the experience was not pleasant, and we would not choose to stay here again.
Location was great , parking in front of the door.
