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.).

We loved this guesthouse! The spa- brilliant!! The host had it already ready for us and post dinner we all went in! We attempted to fit 4 people in but honestly it was only most comfortable with two so we rotated. We used the oven- brillant. The shower was good too and the bed was comfy!

United Statesclosets - but there's not much they can do about that at this point! I would probably switch the beds : have one small bed in the smaller room and the bigger bed in the bigger room, which. means there would only be 3 beds rather than 4, to allow for suitcases to live in the rooms.
OMG....what a gem! I would have loved to stay longer...a cute little cabin with hottub overlooking the mtns! heaven. Great to wake up and have coffee with a view in that hottub! The kitchen is small but had everything we needed to cook. It has 2 rooms and says it can sleep 4 but that is more for a family i think - as one of the rooms only has enough space for the bed and thats' it.... and there are no closets...so really it's just comfy for 2 -3 in my opinion. But for just a few nights, ain't no big deal. I would totally come back.

United StatesThe guesthouse is a log cabin making it very quaint having wood for the interior walls and giving it a very rustic ambiance. You are close to hiking trails that can take you up to a local glacier or deep up into the mountain. We started the day seeing Diamond Beach and then hiked up to a glacier using Alltrails app.

CanadaA few of the appliances were so unclean that they were not usable. The kitchen was functional too, as long as you are doing the bare minimum (the sink was tiny!!) The space was nice as well, and the beds were comfy but the room with the double bed it tiny and it was very difficult to get in and out of bed.
The location was beautiful and my kids enjoyed having some green space to run around. It was nice to have a seating and dining area as well.

We loved this amazing little cabin at the foothills of the mountains! So peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic and had incredible views. Hosts were amazing and had 2 very friendly and playful dogs. Close to a glacier which we managed to have to ourselves after a morning hot tub. Heating and hot water in the cabin was great. Beds very comfy.

United StatesWe stayed 2 nights. It is a little tight for 4 adults, 2 couples. The bedroom with the double bed is very tight with no room for luggage or bedside shelf for phone, etc. We had to use the living area for our luggage. We would suggest some additional hooks (substantial ones) for hanging wet coats, and outer layers. And maybe a small wall shelf on each side of the double bed.
The location was private and peaceful. It was close to Hofn and to the glacier lagoon and lake activities. The cabin was well equipped and clean. The hot tub was clean and very warm and enjoyed by our group.
