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.).

United StatesThere's not much I can honestly say I disliked. It was a little bit confusing to check in because we had to call, but we figured it out pretty quickly so it wasn't a big deal.
Versatile cabins with plenty of sleeping spaces and surprisingly functional kitchens. Our group appreciated the hot tub and nice spacing between cabins. We ventured out to Hrutey Island- definitely a must-see.

South AfricaOh dear. The cabin didn't lock - the lock was broken. The pillows (not all of them) were just foam chips. The blinds didn't close properly, some were hanging off the wall. The shower was awful - it leaked everywhere. The mattresses are just foam blocks. The 2nd bedroom didn't have blinds at all so in an Iceland summer of 24 hour light you are sleeping in a light room
I don't like to be negative, but there was very little to like. Being under the trees was nice

United StatesThe water in the area really stinks of sulfur so be sure you bring drinking water. No bedside lamp in the bedroom. Instructions for the tub were a little vague. The bathroom wall is a mess of pipes and valves so I have attached a picture showing which one you turn on to fill the tub -pointed to by the Blue arrow, and the adjustment for the water temperature going out to the tub - the red arrow.
Nice cabin with awesome views of the river. The hot tub setup is odd and requires a bit of work but was good when it finally filled. Nice kitchen and living room space.

Everything! Our host was fabulous, we had been ruffing it for 3 weeks. It was time for us to have some nicer amenities.. we had booked shared bathroom etc. We asked for more privacy, our host moved Heaven and earth to accommodate us. I was so happy I hugged a guy I had never met before. Beyond his helpfulness the place was wonderful, clean, comfortable, friendly, polite etc. The maid was outstanding! This place is great for campers, kids, and us old folks!

CanadaOur room was not cleaned before our arrival. The bed was a mess, there were dirty towels in the bathroom, and the toilet was not cleaned after the previous tenants used it. We were then moved to another cabin which did not have Internet. When we called the manager to ask for access to our original cabin so we could plan the next day of our vacation we were told we could come to the office in the morning.
it was located next to a river so the sound of water was soothing, which was needed after our check-in experience.

United KingdomThe accommodation was a complete let down. The place was dirty, and not what was expected. When it was advertised as having a hot tub I expected a hot tub however it was an outside bath which we had to fill however there was no instructions on how to do so. In the bathroom was exposed pipe work which we worked out powered the hot tub however it was very dangerous as there was values which could be turned and all sorts so if children were in there or you hit it accidentally when getting the toilet roll which was in the middle of the pipe work. The BBQ was very rusty and unusable. The kitchen/living room area was unclean and the TV and hobs didn't work so in-turn was unusable.

NetherlandsBeautiful view, beautiful, spacious house, we loved the hot tub and the BBQ on the terrace and there were northern lights almost every evening! The location is perfect, very much in the nature, with its wild and gorgeous river, but still close to the grocery store, the swimming pool and a nice restaurant. We also loved the bird island next to the cottages. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back often!
