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.).

NetherlandsA lovely place. Be aware Norwegian winters can be harsh and icy. Since the property is on a higher level good winter tyres and shoes are helpful.
Lovely, Cosy and well equipped .

GermanyGreat place to stay for up to 4 people. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but very worth it. Very clean, comfy and great price for what's on offer compared to the pricier hotels in the city. Strongly recommend

The place is very cozy and you have everything you need in a little cabin, very warm and good isolation system, we couldn’t enjoy the terrace as it just started snowing one day before 😊 I had a great stay and definitely recommend it for couples . Finally I would like to thank Gemma & Kenneth who hosted us and made our stay very enjoyable.

NorwayI guess many would not notice but there is a little road noise that you can hear from the balcony. It didn't bother us unduly but is worth noting.
Firstly I must say that the hosts go out of their way to make you comfortable and to make your stay as pleasant as possible. This is particularly shown in the facilities at this little cabin. There is everything there you could need even, unusually in a small cabin, a dishwasher. There was even cumin and other spices in the kitchen cupboards and a coffee machine. The bathroom seems to be a recent addition to the cabin and it has been kitted out to a much higher standard than you would expect with quality fittings and decor. The cabin has a large balcony which gets the sun into the late afternoon which is great for relaxing after a trek. The nearby lake beach is a pretty place to visit and to swim in and is maybe a fifteen minute walk from the cabin. We found another lake with swimming area eleven minutes drive away and this was also a lovely place to spend the day. All in all, a very nice place to visit and serve as a base for travelling around and taking in the local scenery,

NorwayMaybe a microwave would make it a bit easier to warm up food (but in most cases oven is enough)
A very cosy small house with a living room/kitchen and a shower. Kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook, even salt, spices, oil, and even a lid for the frying pan! Nice shower, huge terrace. Bed is alright for 2 adults.

AustraliaI loved how many amenities were available to us! A bathroom to ourselves, a kitchen stocked with not only pots, pans, and cutlery, but oil and seasoning too! Made our travels so much easier since we love to cook.

United StatesTo be fair, we booked the cabin 30 minutes before our arrival . Upon arrival, water was not working for whole cabin. Tried unsuccessfully to call, email and text the owner for 2 hours after arrival before finally calling booking.com, where they emergency paged him and he finally called me back. Bunk beds were not made and there were no sheets in the unit. When the staff finally arrived 3 hours after we got there, they gave us sheets and made the bed, but the sheets were very old and not soft. One of the girls with the black hair acted rude towards me and I found out that they get to stay there as long as they help out taking care of the property. The unit was clean on the surface, but when we looked under the bed to try to find something that we dropped, there was a lot of debris underneath the bed indicating it had not been vacuumed in many months. It' snowed the night of our stay, and the driveway was covered in snow at noon and had not been shoveled or removed in any way. Luckily we had snow tires.
Very cozy, has its own private deck, free parking, large TV with YouTube but no TV channels, nice floor heater and separate heater in the bathroom, kitchen with utensils
