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.).

AustraliaThe curtains didn't completely close and as it was summer the light came in making it harder to get to sleep. The kitchen and bathroom were small but efficient. A microwave bowl would have been handy in the kitchenette.
The place was gorgeous and the hosts wonderful. The view from our room was spectacular. Safe off street parking.

AustraliaA small heater would have been nice.
Lovely little space perfect for 2. View over town to the snowy mountains. Parking right outside your door. Kitchenette has a great range of equipment and the clothes washer is a life-saver when travelling for weeks. Everything neat as a pin and the towel warmer makes life more comfortable in the cooler weather. Deck would be lovely in the sunshine, however I stood on it in the snow to capture aurora instead. Electric candles were a lovely touch for a restful evening light. Hosts were delightful and nothing was too much of a problem. Supermarket a short walk around the corner.

Beautiful mountain view. The owners really cared about our comfort and were very concerned when we had internet issues (which they fixed promptly). They are hardworking ladies and we would recommend this place to others. P.s. we saw the Northern Lights from the terrace.

It was just INCREDIBLE!! The hosts are really nice and have this cute, very random but unique store and coffee shop on site :) The bedroom is big with a kitchen on side. Everything is clean and the beds were comfy. From the terrace of the hotel you’ve got a view over the sea with a perfect sunset location! Would come back anytime ☺️

We actually stopped there for lunch on our way through to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, so it was wonderful to stay here on the way back.

United KingdomUnfortunately, there was a gale force wind/storm on our night of arrival. One of the opening windows did not shut due to a damaged latch. (This was pointed out to the owner the next day - so should be repaired soon). The car parking area for the unit is approached by a very steep driveway which may not suit some drivers. However, there is 'on street' parking.
Apartment was one of several at the rear of the owner's cafe. It was situated above the cafe which gave views across the fjord and the adjoining hills. As it was self catering, the amenities were good and a discount was offered if you used the cafe. It is situated on the edge of the town of Borgarnes, with a coastal footpath around the district, a short distance away. There are local museums within walking distance.
