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.).

SpainThe owner was very attentive. As we were arriving late, she offered us the opportunity to cancel the reservation without any cost. She answered quickly each time we needed anything. The room was very clean and all worked properly.

United StatesThe bathroom sink was tiny. I had a tough time not getting water everywhere when I washed my face. The shower's hot water was hot, but then there were times when it alternated randomly to very hot.
The location has a wonderful setting with a beautiful view. There was a kitchenette, which was very handy. This was the first place we stayed in Iceland where there was a hanger for shower items. The room was spacious, and there was a table and chairs to sit at for dinner and breakfast.

United StatesThe people staying above us had a child with them (maybe) and they we could hear them running around till about 10pm. Luckily they respected the quiet hours of 10:30pm and we didn't hear them anymore.
Excellent Host, and Excellent Room. We were in Room 1, on the first floor, and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware, and dinnerware (we made spaghetti that night). There's a fridge and small freezer in the room, and the shower was hot with great pressure. Beds were extremely comfy and there was a fan provided if you sleep hot.

Loved Agnes and her dog 🐕 The place was so adorable, comfy, and clean! We slept like a baby after a long day of driving the Ring Road and even asked Agnes where she purchased her mattresses! Agnes also gave us tips about driving conditions and wished us well on the next leg of our trip. Would definitely stay here again.
