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.).

NetherlandsBreakfast was very limited comparing to other accommodations we stayed with less price per night. Maybe adding some more things to choose from such as boiled eggs and croissants would be good.
Very close to the canyon, friendly staff, dinner was a bit pricey but very delicious, free parking, spacious room.

NetherlandsBeds were separated in two different corners. Felt like hostel when we entered the room. But beds can be moved easily.
It is a shared bathroom, but you have a sink in your own room, so only toilet and shower are shared with one other room. Great restaurant with local products. Close to Fjaðrárgljúfur gorge.

FranceLack of light in the rooms and quite far. Considering that it was the most expensive hotel I paid during my trip in Iceland (almost twice compared to other similar hotels), I was expecting something much better and not just an average hotel
Excellent service

AustraliaThe shower recess was way too small. I could hardly turn around in it. There was no way I could have washed my hair, flat out washing my body.
The country atmosphere Our cabin was comfortable but a little small but ok for the one night we stayed. Restaurant was great. We really enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was supplied and it was really nice and plenty of it.

ItalyI would consider adding blinding curtains to the room's windows.
Everyone was very kind and welcoming. The location is really nice and very close to one of the main attractions in the area. Our room was nice and we had a private sink too. The bathroom was only shared with another couple so we never had to wait. The breakfast was good and served in a lovely common area! The restaurant is also delicious and worth a try!

BulgariaBecause the entire house is madе out of thin wood it may be quite noisy if the guests in the other room are not quite. The hot watter comes from a boiler in the bathroom so you have to be quick with the shower.
Extremely polite staff! We had a room in a house of two rooms and one bathroom with toilet. The room was very small, but very cute-with small table and chairs next to the window. The room also had a sink and a tap. The bathroom was very and warm.

United StatesExcellent guesthouse with very nice room and setting. The on-site restaurant is excellent and the staff could not be any better. One of the best facilities that we stayed in during our Iceland adventure. The only downside was the breakfast, nothing hot served. The breakfast was basically ham, cheese, cereals. I was expecting at least boiled or scrambled eggs since the restaurant for dinner was so good.
