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 KingdomThe bathroom was very small, particularly the shower. You can hear the adjoining room but this wasn't an issue. The turning to get in was a little steep but manageable so be prepared for that. You have to inform the hosts on the day what time you will be arriving, which is fine for us as a generous check in window which we could move on the day, but meant we felt a little rushed to get there in time.
This was our favourite accommodation for our holiday. The cabin was more spacious than expected and was really comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The location is central and great and a short drive to many sites in the East of Iceland. The views were incredible and it's such a serene stay.

United KingdomBed linen was tired and worn out . Required new pillows . Shower room was very small and knees touched the shower when sitting on the toilet . This could be fabulous if the owners updated the accommodation . A more comfortable sofa and shower cubicle showing wear and tear . Also didn’t drain fast enough so standing in 4 inches of water !
The location and grounds. Good kitchen and comfortable mattress.

United KingdomThis was the only place we stayed this trip that didn't have self check in, which gave us a deadline to arrive, which is fair enough, they had to show us around the apartment and how things worked and it's only fair on them that we don't turn up in the middle of the night, even if quietly! But this did slightly affect/limit our options for that day, although once we had the key we were free to come and go, obviously respecting the quiet hours.
This gorgeous apartment had everything we needed, thoughtfully arranged and with care for the environment, which is always good to see. They even had a list of essential grocery items you could buy to top up. It was spotlessly clean comfortable, and perfectly located for our needs, and nice and quiet.
