How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewView from the accomodation was great! Nice location too.
Rooms were not very soundproof - we could hear a child crying at night. Shower pressure was also a little wonky.

Verified reviewThe accommodation is by no means worth the price paid. Everything is old and run down. The last renovation was a few years ago. There was almost no water from the shower in the shared bathroom. Relaxation on vacation looks different.

Verified reviewThe outside dog that roams around this hotel is very friendly. The were attentive when we lost something. The room was also comfy. The lights looks stunning.
Although the room decor looked great and it was comfy for the price this wasn't that good. The shower was small and weak and the water could have been hotter. There is no complimentary breakfest

Verified reviewThe lady at the reception was not friendly, at the least . There is a dining room, but it is only for paid breakfast. We were asked to eat inside our room as we were lot allowed to eat in the living room either.
The rooms are old and outdated.

Verified reviewThe room was tiny and really smelly. Both suitcases opened on the floor, and you had barely space left to walk. There were stickers on the walls as a decoration, but they were mostly loose, and someones hair was hanging there. Every time we opened the door of our room, it closed with a slam. This way, you knew about the presence of all other guests too. The shower/WC was shared with many people, and after someone showered, it was flooded because it was built so that the water couldn't flow away. From the evening till late morning there was no toilet paper in the toilets. The price was way too expensive. Breakfast was not included but could be added for about 55€ for 2 persons. There was a microwave and a little fridge at the end of a corridor and no area to prepare your own food. It's definitely the worst stay we had on our round-trip. Would recommend driving a bit further. Sellfoss has great places to stay. If you still want to visit, bring your own toilet paper.

Small room, no screen window to allow us open the window without letting in mosquitoes, clean but smelly bathrooms.

Verified review3 beds was good. Private bath was good.
Staff was rude. We arrived late because of car trouble out of our control. We called to let them know and the person who answered was upset we woke her up. The next day she was very rude to use although we apologized again. Also, a second issue that travelers should be aware- food is not allowed in common areas which is frustrating that we wanted to have our food but we could not
