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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThe location was perfect for us and for our travel plans. It was also perfect because the setting was so beautiful. The guesthouse was clean, spacious, and lovely. On our next trip we will definitely want to stay there again!

SingaporeLow ceilings and doors at some places, so you'll need to be careful to not knock your heads.
Bathroom facilities were great. We saw horses up close to the fence, a goose, 2 cats outside the house, and a huge friendly dog that entered the house to greet all of us. We like how pretty the dishes and cups are, as well as the decoration and vibes in the house. Towels were nicely laundered with a nice smell.

United StatesThe only thing that came to mind for us would've been more toilet paper available if there were more guests. Or some more seasonings in the pantry, as we decided to cook dinner one night here! It all worked out just fine and it's extremely minimal for how amazing the stay was.
Upon travelling to 10+ countries and staying in various b&bs, this one is one of the most memorable - easily! The house is situated nicely between Reykjavik and Vik, and was perfect for our short weekend in Iceland. The house also was easy to find on Apple Maps. We had 4 people total and felt like this place offered plenty of space, and having 2 bathrooms was a big plus! We thought that the place looked even better in person than the pictures, too! And it was priced well compared to other hotels in the area. Hot tub was fantastic. Such a nice thing to get into after a long day of travel and jetlag. The house is adorable, cozy, well-decorated, and so unique! The property itself is gorgeous too. Bonus - there were horses nearby! Truly a memorable stay and in a super convenient location for our trip. I couldn't recommend it more!

An absolutely quaint farmhouse! We loved everything about it! Surrounded by horse farms but yet very private. It’s like finding a diamond in the rough! The bonus for us was seeing the Northern lights and the amazing sunset from behind the house! So exciting, my adult children have never seen the Northern lights!

United StatesOur group likes to cook when we stay at rentals. If I were to give any constructive feedback, I would say it would be great to have some additional skillets and some food storage containers for leftovers. Also, unless I just missed it, a freezer would be nice.
The house is adorable. I appreciated the use of the washer/dryer; the hot tub was lovely; location was beautiful; and the second/outdoor bathroom was great. It came in really handy since there were four of us. Also, communication with the host was exceptionally easy.

Everything! Beautiful well appointed farm house and felt like we were walking into someone's full-time home. So many personal touches from the bed spreads to the dishes in the kitchen. We had more than what we needed, and loved that there were horses all around the property. You can tell the hostess cares a great deal about making your stay memorable. Hope we have a chance to come back!

IcelandThe directions to the house could be better because the road that the house is on is not a road according to google maps. So google maps told me to drive in another road and then walk from there. But we figured it out quickly
Jóhönnu Hús was wonderfull. The house has a very stylish blend between modern and vintage looks. All bedrooms were nice. The master bedroom has a really good feel, windows almost all around and a door to get the the porch. Both indoor and outdoor bathrooms are really nice and the outdoor bathroom has clearly been renovated recently and is very nice. The living room is very cozy and the kitchen great, with probably all the utensils you need. When we came the hottub was already full with hot water at the perfect temperature so it was ready right at the start. The laundry room is next to the outdoor bathroom and has everything you need. The garden is very beautiful with 2 swings and a few more items for the kids. The surrounding area is mostly farmlands with horses running around and the horses even come up to the fence next to the house and are very beautiful. Definitely recommend staying here and the host was great and very easy to talk to.
