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 reviewIt was the most beautiful experience of our trip. The architect was awesome. The view was unbeatable, and the hot tub was just right.
Everything about the place was perfect. Nothing to complain.

Verified reviewBeautiful house with expansive southern view.
No running water—so no showering, brushing teeth, doing laundry, cooking pasta, flushing toilets, and no enjoying hot tub and heated floors. Still waiting for a refund.
Dear Jean. The whole town was without water that day unfortunately. We refunded your whole cost. We are sorry we could not provide you with the normal standard we aim to get but this simply was out of our hands.

Verified reviewBeautiful villa with incredible views and nice stilish design and furniture. The external hot tub with a view of the northern lights was incredible
Unfortunately while at first sight everything was ok we found used towels (from previous guests I assume) balled up and scattered in closets and drawers. The fridge was also a dirty. Which taking into account the price was frankly a bit off-putting

Verified reviewEasy instructions per email for key collection. Kitchen well stocked with cookware and utensils. Good view from the house. Spacious and clean.
We were expecting 2 lots of keys per the email instructions but this was not provided. This was especially inconvenient when the 3rd bedroom was separate to the main house and also required same key access to the room & the house. Note the 3rd bedroom is not inside the villa and you need to go outside to get into the house. The lack of connection between the main house and 3rd bedroom outside was very inconvenient to our group that wanted to stay together. Temperamental heating meant 1 room and parts of the villa were really cold at night. Extra portable heating should be provided in the house. Too many bright lights around the property, including a super bright porch light from the neighbouring cabin directing at the villa, impacting on the 3rd bedroom and the living room. The light stays on all night and it detracts from our ability to sit in the living room to enjoy the night view and reduced our ability to see the Northern Lights from the villa. That light should not be pointed at the villa and does not need to be that bright. We also had a fright when strangers wandered up to the villa from the hotel below in the middle of the night. They were outside of our 3rd bedroom window, apparently wanting a better vantage night view from the villa.

One room and bath room are not internally connected to the rest of the building. No explanation on how the hot tub works (automatic timer, cannot be changed).

Verified reviewPerfect location for the South Island activities we had planned. House was comfortable and clean with beautiful views.
Was not fully clear the additional bedroom space was not connected inside the main house and could only be accessed by going outside.

Verified reviewClean, spacious, and modern. Washing machine and dryer were just what we needed as we stayed here at the midway point of a two week trip. There is an impressive view of the local area out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Thermostats didn't seem to do anything and there was no way to control the heat. Some basics were missing, such as a dish sponge, dish washing soap, and capsules for the Nespresso machine. It was not completely clear from the listing that the main living area is connected to only 2 bedrooms of the 3 bedrooms. The third bedroom (and second bathroom) cannot be accessed without exiting the house and going through a different entrance. We hoped to let our two young children each have their own room during the stay and couldn't do that because the third bedroom was completely separated.

Verified reviewLarge house at the foot of a mountain. Comfortable living room, and bedrooms. Beautiful night view if there's Northern Lights.
A few lights were not working. Only 1 key to be shared between the people staying at the main house, and the guest house, which made arrangement very inconvenient. Messy utensil drawer with sharp objects scattered around inside. As the house was at the foot of a mountain, we were scared of avalanche or landslide.

Verified reviewBeautiful property with amazing amenities and also convenient to so many fantastic sites. Comfortable beds, lots of space, neat turf roof, very clean and well designed. It was easy to get to the Hjorleifshofdi hike, Skaftafell and Vatnajökull National Park, and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach all from this location. On a clear night the Milky Way and northern lights were visible.
