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.).

Trinidad and TobagoIt met our expectations, so there was nothing surprising. However, possibly add in a few more items for the smallest cabin, such as utensils.
It was a nice and cosy cabin. We knew what we signed up for with the cabin we selected, so everyone was fine. Reading the reviews really helped. 1. Be careful with your use of warm water. It was three of us and we never ran out of water because of the advice from review. 2. Be careful what cabin you book. The most basic cabin only comes with a hot water kettle and cups. The other cabins have a kitchenette (1 bedroom or above). 3. Pay attention to the size of the cabins. They are really cosy and get the job done. We even got to see the northern lights. We took the basic as we spent most of our time out and only needed a place to sleep.

United KingdomWhen cooking(considering the place is bookable for 3/4 adults) there was only one tiny pot and a pan, big enough for one persons portion of pasta, we were making pasta and veg for our dinner and next days lunch so we had to cook 4 lots of pasta and 2 lots of veg all at seperate times instead of once! inside is very worn, it’s quite cramped, we booked a 1 bed but there was not a full wall between the beds and lounge, it was more a studio and they layouts just not the most practical with kitchen table and chairs being right in the way of using the sink and hob, we had to move the room around to cook and get into the fridge, but it was a cheaper price to alternatives and like I say the outside was unreal!
Outside is stunning! The location and views are beautiful and the sunset from the porch was sooo good! Beds comfortable, great aurora viewing spot!

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a couple of little things in the cottage like a small microwave, and coffee/tea.
It was very easy to check - in even though we arrived quite late. All staff were very friendly and exceptionally helpful. At then end of our first day we cracked up our rental car on the property and the owner was out at our car in a few minutes offering help. Amazing! Our cottage was very small but very cosy and warm inside - beds were excellent. It was very convenient to have a restaurant on site. Food was very tasty although expensive but then food is expensive everywhere in Iceland.

GermanyUnfortunately no wifi in the cottage. Some equipment were outdated and need to get fixed especially the toilet and the windows.
Better than expected. We were quite sceptical because of the low rating but it was totally fine. We had the cottage and it was the best stay in Iceland so far. Next to reception there was a splendid restaurant with the best icelandic and authentic food I have ever tasted. The cottage itself was little further away from the reception. It was clean and everything was provided. We wished we would have stayed longer because it was so cozy.
