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 bedrooms and the bathroom were rather cramped, which was only a minor issue, but it could be a bigger one if you were very tall!
Comfortable sofa and armchairs in a quiet rural setting. It was lovely to have morning coffee on the outdoor deck, listing to the quiet. Close enough to Hvolsvollur, only about a 10 minute drive, where there are places to eat and shop. Hosts gave detailed directions on how to access and check in to the property.

United StatesFantastic place to stay for 4 people. We used it after a day through the Golden Circle before heading to Skoga waterfall and Vik the next day. It was perfect location for that! The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was equipped. It's not fancy but it's cozy and great for a one-two night stop.

SwitzerlandIt's rather small. It's good for a short stay but I would not recommend it for longer
It's a great place for a short stay. You have your own little house (tiny house though) for a reasonable price and even a terrace and some garden

IsraelThe issues we had were really minor. 1. Had trouble finding the house when we arrived late. It's inside the farm territory and not obvious. 2. The heating in the room was hard to control, either it was too hot or too cold. In the end we just turned it off and used more blankets. 3. The immediate area has little to offer: well, it's a farm, surrounded by more farms.
This is an excellent place. Two functional bedrooms, living room/kitchen, everything is clean and well maintained. Wouldn't think twice before booking again.

United StatesJust be forewarned, this is on an Icelandic farm and you will need to plan accordingly. Other ambled persons or those with mobility issues may want to message the host prior to making a reservation as the path to the home is mucky. If you are young nimble and on a budget, this is a wonderful spot.
Excellent location if you are traveling to the Westman Islands, Vik, or Golden loop. Very inexpensive. Pastoral setting amongst 8 farms.

It is a fantastic location and when we stayed we had great views of the northern lights with extremely little light pollution. We are considering another stay there and would recommend it to everyone. We loved it.

All the necessary kitchen tools and ingredients (incl. dishes, cups, pans, salt, sugar and coffee) were there. Shower-, Hand-, Dishwashing-soap and Kitchen paper towels helped us a lot. We didn't miss anything during our stay in the cottage. We will of course come again.

GermanyOverpriced like all accommodations in Iceland. Why do I have to pay 250 euros per night and walk through bird shit on the terrace and sit in bird shit on the terrace furniture. Why isn't the Inside of the house kept in better condition. The same thing has been mentioned several times in the comment columns but the owner doesn't seem to be interested in it. By the way electric water kettle is not working.
