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.).

A nice rorbuer located in a small village at the center of Lofoten islands a few minutes drive from Leknes. Good location. The views from the window are beautiful. Friendly owners. Clean. Stable WIFI. Basic and fairly equipment kitchen. Good enough to make basic dinner (e.g. pasta) but not for something fancy.

GermanyThe kitchen equipment was very basic and not in the best shape. Also a proper dining table was missing, so one had to Arrangement around it.
The village is lovely just as this accommodation with its guest houses. The staff is very friendly and supportive when questions came up and provided great input on local activities.

FranceI stayed in one of the "fisherman's cottages" -- which are nothing but. Those three cottages are at the back of a parking lot used by motorhomes, so in summer the view and noise must be pretty bad. There isn't any open ocean view either, even when the lot is empty. The cottages themselves are supposed to be cleaned by the guests, and there's an optional extra cleaning fee if you don't want to do it yourself. As a result the cleanliness was dubious at best. The whole cottage smelled of cold fish, as did every single cooking utensil. The shower didn't drain properly (reported to the host, who didn't do anything about it before I left). Some windows didn't open, others didn't close properly (damaged / broken fittings). There wasn't anywhere to hang the towels in the bathroom, after reporting it the host installed a hook in possibly the worst place in the entire bathroom: just behind the door, where nothing dries. I used their washing and drying service, the dryer didn't work properly and my clothes were still damp after 3h. Finally, there's nothing around. There's one tiny shop (Joker) in Ballstad itself, on the island in front, but the closest large supermarket is in Leknes. Going anywhere from that place requires driving back to Leknes, so get used to that stretch of road.
The hosts are very friendly. It's not too expensive (for Norway).

IsraelThe rooms were not so clean, there were pests in one of the rooms - which the host tried to pesticide. In addition, after our stay the host requested a significant amount of money, due to his claim that we left the cabins unclean. We had no idea that the cabins should be left clean with all dishes cleaned etc. But even so, the amount of money that the host requested was not correlated to the cleaning work needed.
The host was generous since there were not so many guests. In addition, they helped us arranging transportation and even offered their help

United StatesHad to pay a super expensive linen fee and they didn't even make the beds. Received no extra set of towels even though we paid the linen fee. The trash can was full when we got there but they had a cleaning fee if we left it dirty. The walls were so thin that we could hear the neighbors every move. Too expensive for what you get.
The location is next to some ok hikes. Also they had free parking.
