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.).

GermanyThere aer only two toilets and shower (one for men and one for women) for all the people who are staying there. The cleanliness is not great but managable if you stay for one day.
The location was near a small lake. In the evening, it gets quite and scenic near the lake.

United KingdomNo mop for the bathroom as the water splashes around the curtain and also you can't hook the shower properly for the water to run down on you and not on the wall. Beds were a bit hard for us.
Great location, friendly staff and a very nice setting. Room was great, warm and cosy with a very nice view. Kitchen well equipped. You can park the car near to the cabin.

GreeceWe had a small issue with the temperature of the room. There is only one female shower so if it's crowded you may wait.
We had a beautiful night in Arhus Cottage and Camping. The room is clean and has everything you need to relax after hours of hiking!

CanadaShared bathroom facilities are a bit small for size of the site. Toilet/sinks no issue but only one shower so had to go back and forth a few time to get to use it.
For Iceland, a reasonable price. Good associated restaurant with a discount if you stayed in the cabin/campground. Shared kitchen useful for breakfast/lunch.

ItalyThe common room was untidy and not very clean, poorly maintained. Wifi was available only in the common room, not in the bungalow. It's a pity because this camping has a very high potential and the common spaces would deserve a better management.
I loved the setting of the bungalows in the greenery by the river. Our room was comfortable, right size and clean. The shower was new. You could adjust the heating of the room as you liked. It was very peaceful. Very convenient the restaurant beside the camping.

GermanyIn the beginning, the community kitchen was sort of greasy and people didn‘t wash their stuff properly, but that got better the next days. Shower was leaking too, but yet again, not a big deal.
Great area with only 5 min to Hella bus stop where most of the tours have a pickup point & where the highland bus stops. The property is right next to a beautiful lake. The rooms were spacious and clean. We were even upgraded by the siper friendly staff as we stayed for 4 nights. Thank you so much!

ItalyIn a beautiful area close to a river and in a good position to visit south Iceland and golden circle. The cottage was clean and cozy. The staff is ready and kind. Maybe the kitchen is not fully equipped to cooking, some more plates and glass will be better. Also a more towel. But in total is a good accomodation also for the price, competitive for the Iceland standard.
