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.).

The property was lovely— cute, clean, and comfortable and set on a beautiful farm under a snow capped mountain backdrop. The absolute highlight for my children was the two very friendly dogs who loved to play. This stay set a high bar for our trip!

Saudi Arabia-
Our stay was wonderful! The cottage was cozy, warm, and had everything we needed. A special highlight was their two amazing dogs, Freya and Askur—such gentle and playful companions. Our 3-year-old absolutely loved playing with them (more than an hour in the cold), and it was such a nice touch to have dog toys in the cottage. The location was also perfect, with windows facing the northern lights direction. After three winter trips to the Nordic countries, we finally got to see the northern lights—right from the comfort of our warm cottage at 1 AM! It was truly a magical experience, and we were actually sad to leave.

South AfricaI think there may have been a water heating issue, as the shower wasn't hot, more luke warm, which is not ideal when a bit chilly.
The cabin was perfect! It was one of our favourite spots of our holiday, just because of the design. The visit from the doggos were also a treat, however they do tend to be a bit pushy and want to come into the units haha. The location would also be perfect to see the lights, however, we had cloudy skies.

The house was very clean, cosy and comfortable. We met Jon a few times and he is very friendly, he dit put out our lights at our little home for me to get an even better view of the northern lights. There are two dogs who come and see if you are home and who are very happy if you want to play with them. We had a very pleasant stay! Highly recommend!

GermanyIt was such a cool place to stay at even or especially during a December snow storm. We enjoyed the rough, wild countryside and being away from the city. We loved Askur and Freyja, the working dogs who visited us regularly. Seeing and petting the sheep at the barn was a highlight! The hosts were super kind showing us everything!

United Statesnothing negative comes to mind. we did fear that there was an issue with the shower control, but you just need to search for the turnoff point to truly turn the water off (otherwise it drips).
This was the least expensive place we stayed in Iceland and without a doubt the best equipped. I even found a stand mixer. Holy cow. Even flour and other baking supplies and dry foodstuffs, oils and coffee. If you brought your own egg, you could bake a cake. Anyway, the cabin (1 of 2) is located on a sheep farm. Very pastoral. We were greeted by Oskar and his daughter Freya. they are the owner's dogs and are super friendly (and gorgeous). Our host, a friendly fellow (forgot name) stopped by on his way out to welcome us and introduce himself. We felt right at home. Honestly, they could easily be charging $100 more per night. pro tip - use your savings and shop at the divine Ullarserid to get an heirloom quality sweater.
