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.).

GermanyAs there is an anonymous check in procedure with no host contact a list of do's and dont's would be great. E.g. can guests walk to the horses and pet them or is it a no go? Where to move where not to move on that area and so on.
Very cozy and clean cottage with a beautiful view. Had two beautiful nights there and we would book Stormur again!

United KingdomWiFi didn't upload videos but wonder if that is a restriction on the property so not criticism, just in case people were wanting to back up photos etc
Cosy and incredible views. We were fortunate enough to see the northern lights from our cottage!! Easy check in and out. Not far from town but be aware nothing really opens until 10 and closes at 1900 (autumn visit)

New ZealandA bit expensive for one night when you can’t check in until after 5pm. The bed is a little hard to get in to as it is placed up against two walls so you had to climb up from the end of the bed to get in and out.
Out of the way but still close to town. Quiet and warm.

Taiwan1.The bin was too small for us, after cooking for one day, it was almost full 2. The towels were not really "white", it looked like they were using a long time or lots of time.
Cottages have most of the things we need, especially the kitchen. The cottage is bigger than I thought, and cute.

IndiaWee bit cramped for space but was alright with us considering that we witnessed Northern lights.
Very nice location. The owners have a stud farm & watching Icelandic horse from close quarters was fun. Got to witness Northern lights from there in all its splendour. Watching the sky in the night was truly magical, as there was no artificial light in the vicinity. Enjoyed our stay.

GermanyA sponge for the dishes would be nice :)
One of the best places we stayed at during our roundtrip. The cottage was very nice and comfortable and the location was amazing! Very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by horses. Everything was clean (some of the dishes had to be cleaned again but that‘s not the owners fault if people aren‘t able to clean up after themselves). We were staying there with 2 adults and one child and for us the size of the cottage was sufficient. All in all we had a great time and would come back again.

United StatesIt was very small you cannot walk around the bed or the kitchen at all. It’s very tight. Even the coffee maker is on a shelf on the wall because there is no room for it on thr kitchen counter. I could not imagine trying to cook anything in this space.
The location was nice and we did get to see the northern lights right from the patio.
