How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe 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.

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful cabin in a serene location on a farm. Host was very friendly and helpful. Everything in the cabin seemed very new and clean. Our only regret was we only stayed there one night

Verified reviewLocation. The property has an extremely friendly little dog, which almost makes up for its flaws.
The host was not friendly at all; during check-in, she didn’t seem very willing and clearly gave explanations out of obligation. The apartment door has a peculiar locking mechanism, which she explained, but instead of sticking to that, she started mentioning unrelated things like asking us not to wear shoes inside and specifying quiet hours (this information was already in the room instructions, so it was unnecessary). The apartment itself has very poor sound insulation, as it is located below one apartment and next to another, and we could hear almost everything from the neighbors. Perhaps that’s why she emphasized the quiet hours, because the apartment is really bad in that regard. Another strange situation was that she kept asking us to notify her of our arrival time because she wanted to be there to welcome us (probably to explain the rules and the door mechanism), but all that could have been handled with written instructions. This somewhat disrupted our plans in Egilsstaðir, as we felt tied down having to provide an exact arrival time.

Verified reviewThis is located at a farm outside Egilsstadir (10 min drive) with no one around you. One will enjoy quiet stay. Suits family of 3 with parking next to the cottage.

Verified reviewThe 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.
The 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.
