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 StatesAccommodations where quite and comfortable. The individual accommodation was great for our stay. We where given accommodation that I would have called a suite, bed room, sitting area and a private bath. The breakfast included the typical European and English breakfasts, very good. Accommodations where quiet and comfortable. They also had hot tubs which were nice after a day of hiking in the cool damp weather.

United StatesThe green carpet degraded the room. The tub is very small with a step seat which may be a trip hazard.
The room is spacious. We arrived near midnight and found that the cot keeps collapsing. We talked to the young lady at the reception and she came to the room and confirmed the condition. 10 or 15 min. later, she sent a much better cot. We appreciated that. The breakfast was very good.

PortugalThere were mentions about the hot tubs everywhere and when we went to use it, they were not working and had cold water, so it felt very unfortunate.
Supermarket and gas station were on the other side of the road, and a super cute store was also close.

United StatesThe doors were not soundproof and we could hear guests talking loudly in the hallway past 10pm and early in the morning. One downside of the buffet is that I could see one of the guests coughing into his hand near the pastries then proceeded to grab a pastry.
Breakfast was what is expected. Enjoyed that I could get some espresso and pastries. Dinner was great. The staff were all friendly. The room was large and clean, but seemed a bit out dated. The bathroom was clean and the hot water shower was great.

FinlandA slight downside of the dryness and heat of the room was that the room was slightly too warm. Waking up in the night sweating is not what you would expect in Iceland. The duvet (blanket) was quite thick for the temperature. When we checked in, we were recommended to take our breakfast after 8.30, as there were three large groups leaving early. We could not follow the recommendation due to our own schedule and started our breakfast at 8. We did fit in the lobby where the breakfast was served, but some dishes had been consumed and were not replenished. Nothing very critical, though. Overall, the negatives were very minor compared to the positives. We were positively surprised by the hotel.
We made a last-minute reservation two days before our stay, as we were mostly based in Reykjavik but needed to stay one night further east for logistical reasons. Finding a family room for our family of three (parents plus a ten-year old) was a pleasant surprise. The hotel does not look that fancy from the outside but is clean and nice inside. What we valued very much — and what is not that common in Iceland — was the heat and dryness in the room. We came there drenched but our clothes were dry by the morning! Even the hotel towels dried during the night. Also, it felt luxurious to dip into a hot tub after a day in the rain. Our room was at the end of a corridor and very quiet. Other guests seemed to be mostly Asian tourists who continued their journey relatively early in the morning. The breakfast was rather good in the Nordic terms; not that much variety but anything essential did not seem to be missing. Check-in and check-out were easy and quick.
