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 StatesNothing, really.
The property was exceptional. Absolutely nothing that might or would be necessary was missing. Located in a wooded area next to a beautiful lake, it was awesome to look out at a forest with a light snowfall. Jim the owner/proprietor/conversationalist was an experience in itself. Can't wait to return!

United StatesIt’s all good.
Love the setting here. The cabins are all unique…. impressively designed by the owner Jim who is a great resource on things to do in the area and with an amazing background in and around Alaska. We stayed in the studio and it was the perfect comfortable setting for our holiday.

This place is owned and run by a lovely couple with many interesting stories. It's located on a pond where you can watch the wildlife come and go. Cozy cabin vibes on the inside. The room we had was built around a live tree, which was super cool.

Loved everything! Flowers everywhere! Boardwalk to lake was beautiful! Go for sunset & especially sunrise! The unit was adorable, but tiny! They carried the wilderness theme inside. We appreciated the artistic touches, handmade pottery, weavings, and vintage photos. Thanks for coffee/teas, water bottles, and oatmeal!

United StatesThere was nothing about our stay that was disappointing. It did take us a bit to figure out the hot water situation for the Hot Tub but once that was accomplished, everything about the retreat cabin was as we had hoped.
Our very busy Alaska summer has gotten in the way of me writing the review for our 3 night stay at A Walden's Pond. My apologies for not repaying the courtesies extended to us with a timely review. Imagine the thrill we had when we searched for a "weekend escape" type place on the Kenai Peninsula and this gem is right down the road from us. LUCKY US!!!!! Everything was as we had hoped from the personal attention of the owners making sure everything was to their exacting standards to the perfect amount of privacy they then afforded us, We are so disappointed that they are booked for the rest of the season. Obviously,, we will be making reservations for 2022 ASAP.
