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.).

United StatesFor some reason none of us could connect to the Wi-Fi, it would continue to load without connecting. Luckily we didn’t really need it this trip, so I won’t change my rating because of it. But think it’s good to mention since the property was supposed to have internet connection. Also, wish we could’ve met the horses closer up because I grew up with horses, but didn’t hear back from the owners.
We absolutely loved the views, the cottage, and the horses!

United StatesNothing!
The cottage was very well equipped with thoughtful amenities and an abundance of sunshine. There is a mini convenience "shop" close (within 10 meters) to the cottages which includes breakfast items and drinks! We met the hosts after checkout and they shared some stories about their ponies and how they tended the farm. I would not hesitate to recommend Askot Cottages to anyone.

The cottage so sons comfortable and had such an at home feel. The owners had so many special touches. The property is on a working farm with horses, sheep and friendly dogs that come visit sometimes.

EstoniaThe only problem was our travel itinerary that didn't allow us to stay there longer :)
Comfortable, quiet and cozy cottage with very nice hosts It's very rare for apartments to have a microwave and small cabin nearby with self-service grocery is a good idea. You're provided with a printed brochure that tells the story of Áskot Cottages, introduces you to the owners and explains how to use all the amenities - really nice. In the morning we were greeted by owners' cat, dog and puppy and it was a great company.

United KingdomPersonally I would have rather had a small oven than a dishwasher for 2 people but that’s more of a preference for me . Some shelving for clothes could have been useful as we were there for over a week.
Airy, peaceful and well equipped with lovely touches like vinegar oil, coffee machine, excellent quality toiletries . Beautifully decorated, lovely and light

GermanyHello Greta, thank you very much for the warm welcome. The cottage was definitely our best accommodation in Iceland. You can see that it has been lovingly designed, it is luxurious and leaves nothing to be desired. You arrive and feel at home. The small details of the furnishings make the stay a special experience. We loved staying here and have already recommended it to others Thank you very much for this great stay Eva and Holger

Our stay here was absolutely perfect. You can truly feel that the owners care deeply about this place – everything was prepared with great attention to detail. The welcome catalog with all the instructions was very helpful and made everything easy. The house was spotless, very comfortable, and had an amazing, calming view that we’ll never forget. The entire place felt authentic and full of charm. We didn’t get the chance to meet the owner’s animals (horses and cats), but of course we completely understand – they’re living beings and can’t be expected to greet every guest! This was a 10/10 experience, and we’ll definitely return next time we visit Iceland. Highly recommended!
