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.).

GermanyVery small room. I didn't feel like there was enough food for breakfast, because when we arrived at 8:30 (breakfast is from 8am till 9:30am) there were no fruits/vegetables and cheese/ham left. I think the host brought more cheese later, though.
Right next to Vik. Walking distance to the shop and the black beach.

SingaporeIt was totally self check-in despite the property owners being present in the same building. Would have been more pleasant if an in-person greeting was offered to feel more welcome. Prior to arrival, received below message with these instructions : "Welcome to Arsalir! Your room number is x, upstairs. The keys are already in the lock. When you arrive, take off your shoes at the entrance and leave them on the shoe rack. The bathrooms are upstairs along the hall and also a toilet at the hall Breakfast is served from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. If you use the kitchen downstairs (closes at 9:00 PM), please wash the dishes and put everything back where you found it. Please be quiet after 10:00 PM. Check out is before 11:00 AM. Leave the key in the lock before you leave. Enjoy your stay! ☺️"
Location was close to the area where we had booked some activities the next morning.

NetherlandsSoundproofing in the rooms was a bit on the low side and no double bed (only single beds), but both of these points are minor to me personally.
The breakfast was insanely good, and the house really feels comfortable and homey! Furthermore the place was super clean and well kept.

CanadaOur room had a nice view of the church in Vik. The room was spacious and had a small sink in the corner which was a nice addition as this is a shared washroom room. Breakfast was nice in the morning in the cute cozy living room/dinning room. I think all rooms in Iceland are very expensive so this is a good value for money for Iceland standards.
