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.).

GreeceThe mattress of the sofa bed was not so comfortable, it was bending a little in the middle, but that's the way with almost every sofa bed, and we stayed only for one night, so it was not really a problem.
The location around was amazing! We were facing down a river, hearing the water flowing, and on the back we had another river. The cabin itself was really big and had everything we needed. It was very clean and tidy.

AustriaAs mentioned above, it is a quite old house and you could feel that in certain spots. For example the bathroom in the basement - and actually the entire basement - has a somewhat mouldy smell. A little renovation here or there would definitely help.
We had the largest of the houses there, which would have offered space for 8 people. At the same time it was probably the oldest house. Apart from the abundant space the place offered two benefits worth mentioning: 1) The excellent location overlooking the glacier 2) A terrace with a private hot tub, from which the view could be enjoyed

The location was great, and our kids loved playing in the fields behind the location. Running up and rolling down the hill. Fit our family of five perfectly and would recommend this as a good fit for families.

Very close to ring road. We booked two cottages between our family of 7. The loft cottage seemed newer and better equipped than the 3 bedroom cottage. Peaceful location, good for overnight stay on Ring Road

RomaniaThe location is absolutely amazing. Even if we had one of the smaller cottages, it was big enough and we were pleasantly surprised how efficiently the space was used. The bathroom felt big and the kitchen had everything you might need. The heating was really fast. It was a really confortable and relaxing stay. A small suggestion would be to install a blind on the door as well to help block all light during the summer nights (all the windows already had blinds) - but we had no problem sleeping as it was dark enough to sleep.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a dishwasher (there is space for it) and a small freezer (a lot of frozen food is sold in large quantities you can't eat in one meal). One word of advice - keep the windows slightly ajar at night as they steam up a lot and cause a build up of condensation.
The cabin is modern, comfortable and warm. The remote location is ideal for star gazing and Aurora spotting (we saw the Northern Lights on our first night!) but it is also very easy to reach, just off the No. 1 motorway, around 25 minutes from Vik. The kitchen has everything you need to cater for 4 people - induction hob, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, filter coffee machine and fridge (but no freezer). The two single beds and the sofa bed are comfortable and the shower facility modern and clean.

CanadaA shovel would've been handy, but as we rented a car we brought a mini collapsible one with us which we used to shovel our way out the door.
Stayed in cottage #4 with the loft. The kitchenette had everything we needed to cook up a meal. Great location - not far from Vik and just off the Ring Rd. Wish we were able to stay longer - arrived in the dark in a blizzard and left in the early morning hours in the dark. Would definitely stay here again!
