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.).

AustraliaNo hairdryer was provided. Our cottage had a loft bedroom with quite steep and narrow steps. Any tall person should just book the other cottage. It wasn’t a problem for us, just an FYI.
Very cute cottage in an outstanding location. There was a walk to a glacier from the property which was breathtaking. Self contained had every necessary amenity. We had a lovely dinner onsite too, delicious home cooked meal.

AustraliaThe location was AMAZING, and staying in a grass roofed house was a must for us, so we were very happy! The drive was so picturesque and so many waterfalls! We wished we could have stayed an extra night. We ordered some homemade rolls upon arrival which was a nice touch after travelling for three weeks!

IndiaHaving a washing machine would have made it complete.
Fantastic location! Nestled in the valley and surrounded by mountains with waterfalls and stunning scenery all around. The Briksdal glacier hike trail is a 10 min walk from the property. The owners also serve up breakfast and dinner (upon request). The cabin (Trollbu) is cozy and has a kitchen with amenities and a newly refurbished bathroom. The beds on the first floor are warm and comfortable. All in all an ideal place to base yourself and explore the surrounding areas around Olden.

IsraelThe cabin is huge - practically a holiday house with 3 bedrooms, a big kitchen, living room and eating area. fully equipped kitchen (although missing a cutting board) with a dishwasher, as well as an outside grill that the owners can help supply wood for it. The area itself is incredible - driving nearby a turquoise lake on the way, while surrounded by a beautiful fjord and glaciers, with 2 glacier tongues visible well from the cabin, and one of them reachable through a 45 min hike to a nearby hill (recommended by the owner). The owners also have a small restaurant to serves dinner - although we didn't eat there, the menu looked very good and the prices were more than affordable.

IsraelI don't have almost anything to dislike, but I'll state that the ceiling in the room was quite low (tall people beware) and I did hit my head a few times. Also take note that some of the rooms are 1-2 minutes walk outside from the reception and meals (have you coat available if travelling in a cold/rainy/snowy season).
First of all, the location is epic, located in a beautiful valley in between the mountains, waterfalls and glaciers peeking from on top of the mountains. The staff (I only met one person since I was travelling after the tourist season) was very nice and helpful, it seems to be a kind-of family business. The food was great, I booked a dinner in addition to the breakfast and the meals truly were awesome. I do recommend booking a dinner - the food is worth it, the price is good compared to restaurants, and anyway there aren't almost any restaurants or cafes nearby. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.

GermanySuper beautiful, cosy and comfortable cabin, the interior was just as stunning as the outside. The location is also very scenic so is the drive there and it's perfectly situated for hiking to the Briksdalbreen glacier. We sadly only stayed for one night but would have loved to enjoy this cabin for a longer time, it had all we needed and everything worked well, the shower was great in terms of water temperature and pressure. Would come back any time!

United KingdomIt's a fully functioning farm, and it means fertilizing and not a very pleasant smell, so be prepared to keep the windows closed (something we expirienced, maybe it's rare?)
We spent two very pleasant nights here. We originally planned to book something on the lake, but there were no vacancies, so instead of the lake view, we enjoyed the view of the glacier and the surrounding mountains. The location is perfect if you aim to hike to the glacier. You can start early in the morning or late in the evening and avoid the crowds when tens of buses arrive. The double room and the bathroom were recently renovated and were clean, but there were no bed lights or sockets near the bed, so it was a little bit inconvenient.

Beautiful location just 2km from a popular glacier National park but there were also amazing hiking trails right there behind the main building. The woman that runs the place was wonderful. She cooked me a nice hot dinner after a long day of hiking. The cottage was spacious and had a beautiful view. This was one of my favorites places I stayed in my 2 weeks in Norway.

United KingdomSuch a delightful place to stay, cosy and warm and authentic. We loved staying here and wished that we had booked for a longer period as there was far more to do in terms of hiking than we had realised. So many homely touches which gave such attention to detail as to make our short stay very relaxing.
