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 StatesThe house is very comfortable, but missing some important items in the kitchen. No freezer, no way to have ice, no oven mitts, in need of some new pans.
Great little house with a fun short hike for incredible views. The house is located on acute horse farm over lake. Very relaxing place but also a cute town for dinner or drinks nearby.

United StatesI wish we knew better and stayed longer. It’s about one hour from some sites so we would have stayed an extra day and tacked on the peninsula travel.
At the foot of Hellefell mountain where you can make wishes! Lots of tourists come by for the hike and the church which makes for good people watching. We absolutely loved seeing the inquisitive sheep and horses up close. And the two farm dogs were so friendly and lovable!

United StatesUnderstand when you book that even if you rent the whole house you are really just renting some bedrooms. If you are traveling with four people but you require three bedrooms because co-sleeping is not an option you must state this up front as only two bedrooms will be unlocked when you arrive. This was ultimately resolved and property owner made things right but it was tense for a while.
Gorgeous location.

CroatiaJust a heads up, the closest shop to the place is around 7 minutes by drive to Stykisholmur. There is a Bonus there working until 19:00. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the owners, more of a friendly reminder.
An absolutely amazing scenery. Big living room with superb look on the whole area. Quiet as a whistle. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary cutlery should you want to cook something. A coffee machine with coffee is also there. WiFi and Smart TV present with RakutenTV for channels. Spacey bathroom. Bonus points: sheep, horses, a cat that will want to get inside the house to greet you and a lovely black dog that will want your snuggles in the morning :D

United StatesWe needed a warm place to be, and the house was really warm, with a well stocked kitchen, a living room with a view that was amazing. The woman who owned the house greeted us and was very friendly. There was a hike next to the house going up the mountain looking out over the whole area. It was very clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
