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 reviewBeautiful view. Quiet and peaceful town. The living room was comfortable.
Didn’t like the room in the basement, not enough ventilation. Abit scary to sleep there and it’s has to up and down thru the toilet. The bedroom upstairs was spacious but go to bed and get up of bed will hit the roof because it’s at the Attic. The ladder or stairs is not easy to use. End up my friends slept in the living room on the sofa.

Verified reviewLarge house on the shores of northern Iceland. Amazing views of snow-capped mountains even in the summer and a perfect garden, BBQ pit and terrace to enjoy. The basement room was cosy, while the upstairs beds were well-spaced. I highly recommend staying here!
The old layout of the house was confusing at first—especially the narrow stairs leading to the basement and shower. But a little extra care when walking up and down is all you need.

Verified review"Home with a view" is a little bit of an understatement. The view is absolutely breathtaking and even though our was slightly spoiled because of the weather (it was very cloudy and raining), it was still beautiful. The house is very spacious with few secrets along the way (I'm not gonna reveal them, so you'll can feel adventurous :)), there was everything we needed and more (due to weather conditions we didn't get to try the barbecue and the terrace). Everything was clean and tidy. I'd definitely recommend.
Taking a shower might be a little challenging, especially for taller guests, but it's nothing major.

Verified reviewBeautiful views from a peaceful and awesome location. The host was super friendly and helpful. Easy Check in and check out through key safe. Nice authentic Icelandic home on the fjord.
The stairs to the shower and master bedroom went through the bathroom and are super steep and we had to duck (almost crawl) down the stairs so not ideal for tall or big people. But all this was well-described on booking so we knew what we signed up for.

Verified reviewWhat are great stay, it has everything you need. Great view and we saw 5 cruise ships from the backyard towards the ocean during 2 nights stay. Hoste is easy to communicate and super nice, we couldn’t find cooking oil and laundry detergent, he delivered and left at the front door. Note: if you need additional washing room (W.C) . There is a public one only less 100 meters away, open for 24 hours, very clean.

Verified reviewMarvellous garden with a view!
be extremely careful on the stairs. It is difficult to reach the shower, which is in the basement. I guess the dryer needs to be fixed because it couldn't dry properly

Verified reviewIncredible waterfront cottage where the kids could play ball while we watched for whales. Absolutely stunning.
We appreciated the second entrance for the basement bedroom, as the stairs are quite steep for older people (my mother). We greatly appreciated having the opportunity to wash and dry our clothes, but perhaps instructions for the dryer would be helpful, as we couldn’t get them dry on the time we were there overnight.
