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 guesthouse is at unbeatable location in Borganes with clear instructions for check in and plenty of info for the area provided. Old house but very Clean and with everything needed. We had a 1 bride night stay in a tiny room but found it fine. Quiet. Great common spaces and good coffee. Amazing view. Would recommend and stay again.
This is not guesthouse fault by any mean but there was some confused and disturbing guy who entered the kitchen as we were having coffee and our own breakfast at 5:30 am, opened the fridge and started yelling “who is eating my foods every day”. We were there for only a single night and were very surprised at that as we had our own food that we left in the fridge with our room number. We had No idea who was eating his food but he seemed convinced it was us eating his food for days even though we were there for 1 night.

Verified reviewNothing more than a basic room
Overrated, the bathroom needs renovation, the water at the shower was all the time extremely hot making almost impossible to take a shower.

Verified reviewstunning location, right by the fjord. There's a terrace and a couple of deck chairs outside, from where you can enjoy the beautiful view. It's very quiet with very little traffic. Dinner at the restaurant is excellent, and it's beautifully decorated with antique skiing equipment and household items. Highly recommended if you plan to do a road trip along the ring road. Check-in and check-out are extremely uncomplicated, they will simply deposit the key for you if you arrive late.
we were there in July, and it never really got dark at night. The curtains did not fully close. Apart from that everything was wonderful

Verified reviewBogarnes is a quiet and small town that serves as a gateway to Snaefellsnes Peninsula, which is wonderful, and to attractions along the Silver Circle. The town has what one needs....coffee shop, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, with its own local history as well
Our guesthouse rooms were very simple, spare, and small, no breakfast is provided, and so all in all it felt quite overpriced for value. A few small touches in rooms would immensely improve the experience, such as decent pillows and bedside lamps for reading.
