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 StatesCottages were quaint and bed covers were good but the pillows were the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Totally smashed and nasty looking.
Amazing location and great facility. Super fun hike a couple minutes from the cottages.

United StatesUnfortunately, we were in the area during a downpour and there were two spots in the roof of our accommodation that was leaky. It did drip on our bed all night. It was manageable, but definitely would need to fix before coming back.
The location was sublime. I think there was no better way to enjoy the island. We loved our oasis in the mountains.

United StatesThe driveway from the main road was a bit difficult to find. Maybe a small arrow sign on one of the drives?
The location could not be beat! The location is in the Herjólfsdalur valley. It offered amazing and breath-taking views. If we were hikers, it would be a great basecamp. There were also sheep on the golf course that crossed the road and were enjoying grass in the campsite area as well

United StatesDifficult to check in as you had to find someone who had cell service to call a phone number as there was no Wi-Fi or alternative way to check in. It would have been nice to know a phone call was required because that was a serious hurdle for us. Also, the cabin I stayed in (9?) had something hanging loose outside that banged the exterior wall all night long in the high wind. It was super difficult to sleep with the banging.
Such an unusual and beautiful location.

United StatesChecking in was difficult. Lack of Toilet in hut is not convenient, especially during rain storms. Outside shower could be cleaner and needs something to hold personal items and clothing. Cramped space does not need plastic flowers in pots taking up precious space.
Kitchen was well stocked and clean. Private hut.
