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.).

AustriaVery nice wooden houses. We came in terrible cold stormy rainy wheather after Landmannslaugur (don't miss the nature hot baths there, for free!), all soaking wet and very cold. In one house there is a reception - a young man living there gave us a key. Were happy that the heating could be turned on. The houses are older, by totally nice to stay. Lovely view to a river. I loved the solution with the 2-storey sleeping area - up to 6 people can comfortly sleep in whatever combination thay like. Our kids used up all the hot water in the shower, so mind that. The kitchen was nice and had even oil, tea, coffe, salt and sugar. We were able to cook a simple supper. Some locals were living in the neighbour house - fishermen from Reykjavik :) I could also comfortably stay in these nice wooden houses for a couple of days. Oh and be careful when dring to Landmannalaugur - we had to drive through like 15 mountain rivers by car, we had Toyota Hilux, so all went well (although I personally was scared at times), but I not sure if you should risk it with something smaller (you drive like 2 hours to the first river, and I don't know what we could do if we got stuck in the middle of it). The price for the house was adaquate with appr EUR 250.

IsraelThe place is situated only a few minutes drive from route F225 to Landmannalaugar, which makes it very convenient to start off or to get back after a tiring day, as we did. The bonus is that the owner sells the basic groceries you need for your stay, by the unit (see pic). Otherwise the closest place to get them would be something like 30 minutes drive from there (one way...). It's not a supermarket, but it's certainly enough if you get stuck.

AustriaBathroom. It is small, especially the wash basin.
The cabin is in a beautiful position, close to a wonderful river. Isolated in the nature, in an area where no other place is available. There are no restaurants around, but you can cook your own food in the kitchen. It was very convenient for us, as we were on the way back from Landmannalaugar, and saved us a lot of km.

ItalyIt was very bright in the morning (early August) so better to bring an eye mask to sleep well, in case you are bothered by the light.
The place is magical. You are very isolated, next to a fjall and a river in a very nice cottage. We were 4 in a cottage that would normally host 8 people. However, there were 12 places for sleeping, so there was really plenty of space. We brought our own food, we had a nice dinner. The kitchen is very well equipped (no dishwasher). The host has a small mini market just for essential things, in case you forgot to buy food and you are starving. Another nice thing is that after dinner I had a "rotten shark" tasting experience with the host, together with a small glass of Icelandic snaps. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe location of the cottage is beautifully set by the river. It is very quiet and perfect for someone who enjoys being in nature. it was nice to sit on the patio for dinner in the sun and enjoy the view. The kitchen is well equipped. The cottage is very bright and was perfectly clean. Staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. We would like to come back and try the hikes that are possible from the location. All in all a lovely stay.

AustraliaCouldn't get an extra night when we wanted to extend
Pretty much everything was better than we expected. They don't over-promise and under-deliver; it exceeded our expectations in almost every way. It was reasonably convenient to launch a visit to Landmannalauger and the road there is mostly quite good and being improved. It is a popular location and difficult to get an extra night if you'd like to extend. Make sure to bring everything you need to eat and drink; local supplies are extremely limited
