Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesMicrowave in the units, and putting more hooks to hang stuff in the bathroom as bathroom has tons of space.
Spacious room and bathroom, plenty of hot water and access to small kitchen. However, there is no microwave, which could have been great. I don't know why it is designed that you can not bring your car to the cottage as there is space and it will be very helpful for the guests, especially in inclement weather. Mind it that Google takes you much longer route, adding 30 to 40 minutes so I asked the owner/caretaker to let the future guests know where to make the turn, and might want to put some signs.

MaltaWe watched the northern lights very well during the two nights we stayed here. The interior of the house is very comfortable. The bed is very comfortable. And the farm was very enjoyable. It could be much more enjoyable for a long-term stay.

United StatesThe door to the bathroom did not close all the way, and the doorways were quite low for my tall husband. The double bed nearly filled the bedroom, which might be an issue if there are more than 2 of you.
Great location in the middle or all that the Eastfjords has to offer. Lots of great day trip options away from the ring road. The cabin was quiet and comfortable, with a tiny bedroom and a very low lofted sleeping area suitable for older kids only. The views from the cabin (and most of the large property were spectacular- mountains to the west and the lake to the east. Wow. The cabin was spartan but clean and efficient, with adequate cooking utensils and a grill.

SwedenWe booked the private bungalows with shower and toilet. Really friendly staff and very peaceful and quiet location. If you like hiking this is a good place to stay for sure, a lot of nice places to hike close by. This was probably the best stay of our whole trip, wish we could have stayed another night and done some more hiking!

We were traveling with 3 other families. The setting is beautiful. Rather than checking out the area we decided to stay at our cabins and enjoy the property. The kids loved playing outside. The dog “Snoodle” was a bonus. They miss him already! Thank you to everyone for making this stop so memorable.

IndiaThis is one of the best top tier stays from our Iceland trip. We enjoyed every minute here. Tiny houses are perfect and we had everything we needed inside the house. They have a setup of bbq for each houses and we used it for our evening meal. Host is so welcoming and amazing. Dog at this property is cutest and will spend time with you if you are having the bbq plans :p Me and my husband still about this place how amazing and dreamy it was to stay here. Host has taken care of everything that you could possibly need. :)
