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.).

NetherlandsJalousien at bedrooms did not block the light at the edges of the windows and therefore the quality of sleep was not optimal for us at summer time (24 hours of light). My partner was missing a closet to hang clothes (not a big issue) and a booklet/binder with a guide and some instructions for the stay.
Located close to four top attractions at the Golden Circle, country side, nature, jacuzzi and bbq facilities to have a good time in the evenings; the kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary, new and clean stuff to enjoy the stay. Modern and spacious living room and outside dining table for a small family to enjoy; Water heater with enough capacity for showers for a family; bed linen, towels, bathrobes, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were clean; nicely decorated. Recommended. Could stay again.

IsraelThe water in the shower didn't go down properly and there was flooding in the shower, the jacuzzi didn't heat up all the way but it was fine
A very spacious apartment, 2 bedrooms and a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a huge garden and a river right next to it, there is a jacuzzi, highly recommended for everyone

United KingdomWe had no complaints about the cottage. I don’t think there was anything we didn’t like. We had a slight issue with one of the sockets causing the fuses to trip but we just moved the appliance, reset the fuses and it was all good.
The check in was easy, key box provided. The location was superb and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights in the evening. Loved the hot tub which was very luxurious. The cottage was bigger than we were expecting and had absolutely everything we needed.

United KingdomThe kitchen wasn´t finished but it didn´t impact anything in terms of cooking.
Location was perfect to explore the south of Iceland. The hot tub and BBQ were brilliant. Beds were comfy and we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were also brilliant at communication. All appliances were new and there was plenty to cook with.

SpainIt was very small! We were only four people but the cabin is for six people. I do not think that this would be possible, especially with only one bathroom. The rooms are very small, with no room for suitcases. The refrigerator really needs an upgrade, as it was very small with missing shelves in the door. The kitchen sink had a leak around the faucet, that looked like it had been repaired before but still leaked onto counter top. Not a lot of water, we just made sure to keep a towel there to mop it up.
Cabin is very cute with full kitchen, gas bbq and jacuzzi. Kitchen had plenty of pans, dishes, etc along with a coffee maker and microwave. The owners were very helpful with communication, explaining the key safe outside the door. We also had an issue with the drain in the shower backing up and the owner came by to check on it. We had already fixed it with just a plunger, so not a big deal. The scenery is amazing with the river right next to the cabin (#5) and it is very quiet.

ItalyThe outside area (table, seats etc) wasn't cleaned and the barbecue neither so we had to do some cleaning in order to be able to dine outside.
The landscape with the river nearbý, the cottage was lovely as well as the jacuzzi outside (clean water and all prepared for our arrival!). We found everything we needed and our host was very friendly and helpful. A perfect stay, we would have liked to have more days!

SwitzerlandIts sth between a spacious cottage and a construction site. Everything is a bit old, Some parts of the kitchen are missing. There was also a power issue with the pool. The owner was a bit lost with this problem, we found then a solution No big problem but its fit in the whole pictire. The oven was very dirty, the fridge was only ok. The bed was nice. Over all, its not the common standard of accomodations in Iceland.
