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 StatesNothing…though the name might be misleading? This listing isn’t a dome cabin.
Very nice little cabin in the woods. Everything was clean and we really appreciated the extra touches like coffee, sugar, and a few spices in the kitchen. The outdoor shower was neat, but just understand, it is the only shower in the cabin.

These cabins exceeded our expectation. The host met us on arrival and was friendly. He had thought of everything in the design of the cabins, and the outdoor showers were a nice touch. Very warm, comfortable beds and duvets, dark curtains and a peaceful environment. Would come back in a heartbeat.

United StatesNot a complaint, but be aware that the third bed is a narrow bench. My son refused to sleep in it, but my husband said it was comfortable. I’m sure this was explained in the description, but we missed that detail.
Beautiful setting, tucked into a grove of trees by a river. We loved the contrast of colors with the black exterior. Immaculate. Comfortable beds. Great sitting area and well equipped kitchen The owners checked in on us, and we felt very welcome even though we were just staying for a night.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing, it was amazing. Can’t fault the property or the hosts
The cabin was lovely, it was in a really beautiful location and we could not fault it. It was an amazing stay and we would recommend it to anyone for a night or two! The property was great, it had everything we needed. The brief time of getting in and out the shower was very chilly in -8° but once your under the water it was lovely and warm. Comes with the fun of having the outside shower :)

Beautiful little cabin that had everything we needed! The sofa bed was much more comfortable than expected. It actually seemed to be a mattress built into a box. The linens for all the beds were 5 star worthy.

AustraliaNothing, but the third bed (sofa) was a little tight for my 190cm son.
This property is perfect, well equipped in a lovely, private location by the river, in a small wooded area. It felt like a very special place, sunshine and clear sky and a wonderful display of the Northern Lights, an unforgettable experience. Warm and cozy inside with windows that frame the view beautifully. I didn’t think I’d love the outdoor shower but it was a lovely experience, lots of hot water and a single step back into the warmth of the cabin. This place is perfect, I wished we had been able to stay a second night.
