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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesThe breakfast wasn’t included or discounted and was super expensive for what you got.
We stayed at other guest houses and rooms throughout the ring road. It was in a good location near the ocean and cliffs but nothing wowed us about this place. All the rooms are outdoors and spread out slightly but if you open the window you will see other guests in their rooms nearby. It was clean and bed was ok.

HondurasAngry Birds attacked me upon arrival. Soon I understood it was because they have their nesting sites on right on the hotel premises.

PortugalWhile the family thought it was great, I was disappointed that these were little more than connexs. However, now my wife wants one, so I guess I'll be looking into how to purchase one!
The rooms were "like new," and the family enjoyed the facility. Of the eight hotels on this trip, this was the best location for spotting the auroras!

BelgiumThe check in system failed to communicate the key code and the person we called on the phone for 15 minutes could not solution our problem. Thankfully the check in instructions were also wrong about the reception being closed and we didn’t arrive too late so someone at the restaurant/reception could help us. Also if you want a decent coffee it’s not included in the breakfast which is totally a scam as it costs 17€! Don’t bother.
Quiet place in a beautiful location surrounded by nature, comfortable beds

AustraliaArrival was infuriating. There was no one available to check us in. There was a phone number on the door but we did not have an available phone due to roaming issues in Iceland. It would have been helpful if there had been a placard explaining where the manager was located. It turned out a room with access info had been sent to me in the plethora of emails/messages received earlier. Some people don’t have data so this doesn’t always work for everyone. I only read the first paragraph of the message that said reception was available until 10pm and I’m sure I read the restaurant was open until 10pm. I hadn’t bothered to read on as I expected someone to be there on arrival. The restaurant was closed, we drove 19km for dinner. We had to annoy closed cafe owners over the road who told us where they thought the manager lived. He was polite and apologetic when we found him, but given previous reviews with people having similar complaints about access, this should already have been solved. Met a lovely lady in the morning who was opening the restaurant. All in all good stay once we got in. But arriving to a ghost town in winter without instructions on the door (more than a phone number) is inexcusable.
Great room, well appointed.

BrazilOn the day of the check-in I got a message from the property saying the front desk was open until 10pm, and after that you had to do a self check-in process. To our surprise, we arrived there at 8pm and it was already closed. No worries, we proceeded to the room to do the self check-in (which involves opening a safe next to the door), only to find the key hanging there on the door. The restaurant was also closed, and since it’s a very small village, everything else was also closed.
Clean, large room, comfy beds. Nice hot shower with good pressure. Nice heating also. Big windows to let you enjoy the aurora (if you’re lucky enough). Excellent location in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, some attractions are within walking distance and others are a short drive away.
