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.).

SpainThe bathroom could improve cleaness, there is mold in the shower. I also think there should be a kitchen extractor fan. In the main room the window should be fixed as some water enters when rains. We think is too expensive.
The appartment is quite spacious and well equipted. We parked just in front of the entrance door. The TV is new and you can access to apps like Netflix with you own account. For 4 people is great.

LithuaniaLarge, cozy, very clean cottage. Very comfortable, large kitchen and living room, two separate rooms with very comfortable beds. Unique view through the windows, absolute peace. We saw waterfalls in the mountains. We specifically chose to stay here so that we would be close to Vatnajökull National Park and could start exploring it in the morning.

United KingdomNo oven, but that’s a minor gripe. I would def stay here again.
Great place in the middle of nowhere but brilliantly placed for us to of a glacier hike in the morning. Super clean and very comfy beds. Lost 1 point as the kitchen didn’t have an oven, just a two hob stove, and a microwave. Worth knowing in advance incase you bought food to cook in an oven. The sofa bed was extremely comfortable, it had the thickest mattress I’ve ever seen on a sofa bed, so that’s actually excellent. Would recommend this place.

The apartment was of a comfortable size. We loved the beds - it was one of the comfiest throughout our stay in Iceland. Heater and shower were warm enough. The kitchen was well-equipped if you wanna cook. The host was friendly too.

HungaryThere was a lamp outside what we could not switch off, it distured a bit not nothing major. We only received 4 towels, but we were 5 people. The apartment was quite small, I only recommend for 4 people on a longer run. For 5-6 people its only doable for 1 night.
Outside, in the middle of nowhere! Loved it, we saw the aurora. If you visit in winter, I highly recommend this place, you will most likely catch the norther light, as it is very dark. The host was very fast with response. We had everything what we needed, there are also additional heatings if someone is cold.

MalaysiaCan't really think of one right now.
If you drive, I'd highly recommend this place. I drove my family around the south coast of Iceland and got home late, but the self check-in is simple and easy. Since it's difficult to get food from restaurants late at night, we decided to cook something simple. The best thing about the property is the cooking utensils provided. It's pretty cold when we were in Iceland, but the property has multiple radiators, which quickly heats up the rooms in a really short time.

United StatesThe facility clearly states no smoking, when we arrived the house smelled like cigarette smoke. We opened the windows so the smell would fade a way at least a little. I find this more of an issue with the previous guests as it is very likely they did not follow the rules.
The property was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. It was a great place to stay.
