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.).

PolandIn the part of home where we slept, there is only one toilet with shower for 2 rooms (7 people) so it is a little disadvantage.
Very, very nice and friendly owners. No problem with late check-in. Room was clean and nice. Well equipped kitchen. Price was quite high, but I guess it is about the region, cause it is standard there.

CanadaIt's an older home, so the stairs going up to the bedrooms are steep and narrow. If you have mobility issues, this could be an issue. Took my time carrying my luggage down to be safe.
Beautiful view with very friendly, welcoming staff. The breakfast was very good and fresh.

Safe and serene farmhouse. Gorgeous location outside of Vik. Quiet and bright, with wonderful views of the Northern Lights. Very clean accommodations. There was a shared kitchen with coffee and cooking supplies. Kind and responsive host. We didn't try the breakfast buffet there, but it sounded wonderful.

United StatesI was a little skeptical due to shared bathroom, but booked anyway because of good review. And the reviews did not lie. My sister and I were driving back pretty late and it was out of check in time, I texted the owner and he answered quickly helping out with our late check in. He also posted a direction note at the front door for us to find our room, and helped us with our carryon upstairs. Our room was clean and pretty spacious. And it had a sink, which we really appreciated being girls with makeup and skincare routine. The shared bathroom was also very clean. The house was not exactly in Vik town but about 15 min drive, it would be a good location for northern light hunting, being quite remote and dark. Breakfast was not exactly my Asian taste but I appreciated it nonetheless, especially being in Iceland. Definitely staying again it coming back.
