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.).

IndiaThere was only one toilet bathroom provided for such a large cottage. The top floor beds could've been more comfortable and private. The lights can be brighter.
Ground floor hall was large and comfortable. The property is good for staying for larger groups of people, who can all sleep comfortably.

IndiaThe 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds in one line with a curtain. So be prepared since the pictures are not very clear.
Very cosy, well equipped apartment. Right in the woods yet very close to the town. Supermarket available (5mins drive). Would surely recommend for a night stay along the ring road.

FranceBathroom was tiny, kitchen equipment is very used. Some people might have trouble with the fairly narrow and steep staircase to get to the bedrooms on the first floor. Living room feels a bit cramped.
Very quiet location (almost feels like in a forest), just a few minutes away from the town and from the Vök Baths. Quaint little house that feels fairly spacious.

AustraliaThe bathroom is a bit small. The sleeping arrangement upstairs is a bit awkward with 2 single bed head to head.
The cottage is spacious and warm. The kitchen has got all the equipment that you would need. The shower has got strong pressure and hot water is very hot. There is a reindeer enclosure next to the cottage that you could visit free of charge. It is located just outside the city but near the Vok bath.

CanadaI assume that there is a requirement for security lights and they have to be on all the time. But it means that one of the beds is in area affected by the lights.
The location was a good place to explore the area. It was clean, comfortable.

New ZealandThere was no soap in either of the containers for the shower or handbasin which was very poor. Also very little toilet paper we had to provide our own. Again very poor. We also had to track down the owner for fresh towels which were dropped off without stopping to enquire if we needed anything else. Again very poor.
