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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaIt is hard to complain when so much was great, but the bathroom sink and counter were quite small making it hard to place your toiletries anywhere, and there should be more towel rails. That’s it!
Wonderful cabin overlooking Akureyri town and inlet, clean, quiet and comfortable, very relaxing, even had a washing machine, very useful when travelling.

Fantastic view above Akureyri. The chalet its just perfect to stay close from the city but without the noise. The chalet has everything to enjoy a quiet moment. It is very clean and the blankets were immaculately clean and white. Do not expect to have TV because even one does exist in the living room, you do no need it. Just enjoy the place.

FranceThere's nothing to complain about !
The cabin wasn't too hard to find. I texted a bit with the owners, they were really sweet ! The location was nice and the view was outstanding. The cabin was pretty comfortable and well equipped overall, even with a washing machine. The bed were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. Plenty of books if you like to read ;)

FranceThis is by far a favorite place. We loved the view over the fjord and the amazing Northern Lights show. The rooms are cozy and sparkling clean, very nicely arranged. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we would like to stay longer. We highly recommand it!!! There is a small river/crick nearby. It has a romantic and relaxing side.

Switzerlandnothing.
When we arrived I regretted booking for only one night. This is a perfect getaway for several days. Entering the house with the spacious veranda and the great view it just felt like home because it had this personal touch (little library..) Kitchen was well equipped. We made use of the washing machine, very handy after 10 days. We`ll try and visit again

What an incredible view - this cozy stay was a perfect recharge after long days of exploring the westfjords. The house was incredibly clean, cozy, and we enjoyed a nice night of watching Icelandic TV in bed. Would absolutely book again.

TaiwanThe host is not honest!I book a non refund room, I asked the host if I could change date and send the request via the system (no extra charge), the host told me they didn't receive. And then they told me that I could cancel the reservation first and re-booking a room, he will accept this cancellation request and "won't charge". After I re-booking and stay for one night the host change the word and say because it is a non-refund policy so they are not able to refund my money. Eventually I asked for help to Booking's service team and they refund me immediately but this still ruin my perfect holiday.
Just a normal cabin with some of the host's sundries.
