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 StatesThe walls in the 4 plex apartments are a bit thin, so you hear others when it is quiet, but everyone seems to be on the same schedule to go to bed early enough, and up not so early, so it worked fine.
Super convenient location in the middle of many of the south attractions. 1 hour to Jokulsarlon, under 45 to Skaftafell, , not so far from Skogafoss/Fimm trail, 20 Mins to a grocery store (that closes at 4pm fyi). Just off the ring road, but was super quiet for outside noise. Clean, great shower, well equipped kitchen, beds were very comfy (although they are doubles, not queens). Self check in. Get groceries in Vik or Hofn is my recommendation and stock up on a few non perisishable as you never know when plans change and you need food and groceries are closed.

United Kingdom4 cabins connect to each other with zero soundproofing. We could hear everything every neighbour did or said. Felt like we were all in the same room! Thankfully we travel with earplugs and our neighbours went quiet at a decent time but it wasn't relaxing. Same thing in the morning and the next evening with different neighbours.
V well equipped and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we could have needed. Well located to visit glaciers.

TaiwanThis guesthouse is well equipped and very clean. It's in beautiful surroundings. But the best part is the owners, who are friendly and ready to help when you come across problems. One of our members has serious medical issues. They are so kind to come immediately to help us. I highly recommend this guesthouse.

Czech RepublicThe kitchen was very well equipped, offering everything we needed and more, which made our stay convenient and enjoyable. The bathroom was a bit older but clean and fully functional, with no issues during our visit. The location is excellent - situated between the southern waterfalls and the glacier, providing easy access to some of Iceland’s most stunning natural attractions. Overall, a comfortable and practical choice for exploring the area.

United StatesWe loved staying in this modern, comfortable cabin, nestled at the foot of a steep green hill, and in front of an expansive view of fields and the ocean. It had all the amenities we could need and the location could not be beat.

NetherlandsThe mould in the shower wasn’t attractive…
Your own tiny house for a night with complete kitchen (kitchenette doesn’t do it justice). We stayed with 3 p and that was not very roomy (couch turns into bed) but as we had a sunny day, all was good. Good bed, very easy to reach and still quiet location next to road 1. Very pleasant check in by yourself if you already have paid and friendly owners.

BelgiumPerhaps a bit small (we used a babybed) - at night I had to jump over my husband and baby to go to the toilet, It takes a long time for your food to be cooked (slow stove).
Cute cottage on the way to Jokulsarlon, easy check-in and out, very clean.
