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 KingdomThis is only a small point but I didnt like the lack of locks on the showers ( a shared facility) and I prefer seperate sex toilets. These were available round near reception but I imagine when the accommodation is full this is busy. Also when we arrived we need to call to get a key code for the door however we did not have telephones able to make international calls (only whats app calls). This was eventually resolved but worth a mention. Everything else was perfect.
This was a real case of 'dont judge a book by its cover'. The outside of the building, above shops, looked less inviting than when we got inside. Inside it was just 'wow' with clean open spaces for sitting and preparing food. The kitchen had everything you needed with fridges for your food and as much tableware necessary for large numbers of people. There was a dishwaher and washing machines (chargeable). The bedrooms were clean and also sound proof for a good nights sleep. Everywhere was very clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

HungaryThe rooms are very clean on the verge of beeing sterile like an operating room in a hospital. Few pictures with happy fisherman or the sightseeing spots in the area could warm up the mood a bit. But this is my personal taste. Purists and Scandinavian style lovers will love it.
Kikjufell is close and on the road there is a high elevation parking spot where really easy to spot whales with binoculars. gas station and fish and chips little street food vendor is next door. And it has a sandy beach behind the wave breaker rocks.

United KingdomAs with many accommodations in Iceland - the double bed is actually two single beds pushed together.
Lovely room with shared bathrooms and a large communal lounge/dining/kitchen area. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable, with a small table and chairs. The toilets and showers are separated by gender, and there are plenty for the number of guests. They were immaculately clean. The communal area is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils, crockery etc. Bonus: the guesthouse is right next to a small beach - perfect for a cold water dip!
