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 reviewThis was a bit of a splurge for us, as we stayed four nights at this wonderful property. If we return to Reine, I would book this again! 1. authentic feel of a modernized and comfortable fisherman's cabin 2. amazing location in Reine, with dedicated parking 3. quality linens and towels 4. high end toiletries 5. view from the windows 6. very kind and responsive hosts
1. having to share laundry facilities with guests staying in the Apartments by May - not a big deal, but there are two washing machines and two dryers for all of the guests. the dedicated laundry room facility is actually very nice, well-stocked and tidy.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was just the right size — not too small, not too big — and very peaceful. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped with everything needed for cooking. The bathroom was large and clean, with strong water pressure in the shower. The shower stall was roomy, not cramped, and the sink was big enough to place items on without worrying they’d fall. The bedroom was also a good size, with enough space to open one large suitcase and one small one. The location was close to popular attractions, which was very convenient.
The accommodation provided a dishwasher, which was convenient. However, if you prefer to wash dishes by hand, you’ll need to bring your own sponge. Some of the kitchen utensils, such as spatulas, were a bit incomplete or not in the best condition.

Verified reviewSpotless and perfect rorbuer for us 2 couples, easy check-in instructions, good value and more spacious when compared to similar oceanview/harbor view rorbuers in the area, nicely decorated and well equipped for a comfortable stay, breathtaking view from deck and dining room, and conveniently located in the scenic town Reine - a fantastic base to explore the southern part of Lofoten islands and hike the famous Reinebringen. We also saw the aurora one night right outside of our roebuer. We LOVED our stay at Maybua and highly recommend this gem.

Verified reviewOne of the most expensive accommodations during our stay in Lofoten. But unlike the others it was worth every single cent. Large, clean, comfortable apartment, furnished with great taste and with an enchanting view. The only disappointment was having booked only one night. Excellent does not do it justice, superlative is the correct adjective. If I were to return to the Lofoten Islands I would definitely try to return here

Verified reviewAmazing location. Extremely scenic and walking distance to gas station, restaurant and a coffee shop.
It was a bit pricy for one night. It’s just a suggestion not a big deal but it’ll be very useful if there is another mirror in the house apart from the bathroom.
