Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere were no soap available in the property. Instruction to run appliances could have been provided. Though was not a show stopper. Also a personal observation our checkout was before 11 and with kids having to prep the breakfast and then do the dishes and then keep it where it’s supposed to be becomes a bit difficult as I cannot use the dishwasher due to time constraints.
The property was amazing. Outside the hustle and bustle of the city yet has all the amenities a person can think of.

United KingdomThe house is very well equipped and comfortable with lovely big windows to enjoy the almost 360 views of the countryside. It was not very far from a village with a good supermarket and although it was in the countryside, it didn't feel isolated which was good as we had snow and gale force winds. We were very cosy and really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend it.

United KingdomA very small thing, the board games were missing some pieces - but not a major issue!
Great location, nice and quiet in a rural location. The hosts helped us when our car got stuck in the snow, they arranged for a neighbour who kindly helped clear the path. The house is clean and has all the amenities including a smart TV which is handy when weather is bad outside. Also hosts kindly stocked bits of food and drink for us.

The house itself. The location. The view. We saw the Northerm lights and an Akzo sky full of stars the first night the small town 6 minutes away had a great public swimming pool with 3 hot tubs at different degrees and a sauna.

United KingdomNothing.
Super little cottage in a very quiet location. No light pollution and distant views of snow capped mountains! Feels like you are away from it all but the N1 and nearest town is only a 5 minute drive. The property is well situated for visiting many of the slights in southern Iceland. It’s lovely to come home to after a day out hiking. Very cosy and homely. Lovely light living space and very well equipped. The sauna was a real bonus!

United KingdomIf I were to find a negative it’s that it could have been a little cleaner. Overall it was fine but kitchen floor and shower area could do with a little sparkle.
Great layout, ample and comfortable for a family of four. Great to have washing machine and tumble drier. Decent coffee machine and all the kitchen facilities you might need. Sauna was a real bonus.

HungaryCould have been cleaner at some point (eg. Kitchen, bathroom), especially considering the note that asks you to clean up the kitchen yourself and remove the bed coversheets after yourself when leaving. I’d rather leave it for the cleaners, not the guests, because that can make a difference.
Big place to spend if you are travelling with family. Organized, you can find everything you need for e.g. Cooking etc. so very well equiped. Also hand built sauna, green area, lot of place makes this just more comfortable.

United StatesIt was actually very warm inside so we had to keep some windows open which was tricky for sleeping since it’s daylight all the time.
We had a great stay. I even looked to see if it was free for one more night. Easy, comfortable, spacious and clean! It’s somewhat remote but the view is fantastic and you’re likely driving everywhere anyway. Perfect for a couple or a family.
