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 StatesSmall bathroom, but to be expected as it’s a small cottage.
The view was amazing. It was quite enjoyable to sit outside and just look at the view. The cottages were cute and though small had just what we needed for a one night stay. Beds were comfortable.

Although Haimaey Island isn't huge, staying just outside of Vestmannaeyjar was a great way to get close to nature, but still be close to all the cool things the Westman Islands offers. Our volcano and puffin ATV tour cruised right by Ofanleiti where we stayed in the Hvassaleiti Cottage. The island is known for its breathtaking seaside views, a top 100 golf course, elephant rock, a famous 1973 volcanic eruption....and the incredible cliff-dwelling puffins. Between where we stayed, ate and explored, we covered a lot of ground and coming back to some midnight twilight ambiance really capped our first full day in Iceland. Efficiently designed with a simple space (which is really nice when you're on the go or heading out to your next adventure quickly; sometimes too much space makes it hard to get out because you feel like you're forgetting something) the cottages offered stunning views and an opportunity to recharge at a very reasonable price. Convenient check-in, helpful info up front, and easy to contact and communicate with. We loved our stay!

United StatesWe are a family of three and we found the property perfect for our needs. We liked the location being a little out of town, but close enough to town to walk, which we did one evening. It was quiet and had great views. The kitchen had plenty of supplies to make a meal. Small, simple, clean - perfect for us.

IcelandMaybe the outdoor seating and table were a bit too big for the terrace. Nothing else.
Very clean. Great beds. More space indoors than it looks from the outside. The most wonderful view.

Amazing location with view of the cliffs and sweet horses in the pasture. It’s a tiny house but we found it very comfortable for a short stay with 2 adults and would definitely love to stay here again. The owner was lovely and super responsive- kindly brought us extra pillows and replaced a broken chair. Really appreciated the pod coffee maker. Definitely seems like the ideal place to stay on the island.

FranceAmazing little cabin, very comfortable bed with a wonderful view of Elephant Rock. It's a small cabin but everything is very well organized and the hosts are kind and reactive. The only thing is that there is quite a bit of light coming from the building behind at night. But we still saw the Northern Lights and had a very magical stay. Will definitely return if ever back on the island !
