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.).

GermanyThe dining area can be a little noisy at times, because there is no carpet on the floor. Maybe something can be done to improve this?
The bedroom, bathroom and shower were very spacious and the beds were really comfortable! There was a laundry rack and a towel radiator, although the bathroom is shared. You can walk down the road and watch beautiful icelandic horses.

GermanyEverything about this guesthouse was wonderful. The host was friendly and made us feel welcome. As it is part of a farmhouse (the hosts live upstairs and the guests stay downstairs) there are only three rooms to rent. This means you have a lot of privacy, peace and quiet. However, due to its size, the accommodation is very basic in terms of kitchen facilities - there is no oven or microwave (you have to eat cold dinners and breakfasts).

SwitzerlandSince it is a shared bathroom, our family needed to wait for our turn, although we were fortunate that we only needed to share with one other family.
The rooms were located on the ground floor of a farmhouse in a remote area (although the Godafoss waterfall was 5 minutes by drive). The owner, Stefan, was very nice and explained us everything. There was a microwave, fridge, coffee machine and plenty of dishes to use, as well as a big table where you could eat simple meals. The bathroom was big with a drying rack (which was convenient after going to the Thermal baths).

The location is very convenient to the Myvatn area, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean.

PolandThere is only a single sink available in a shared bathroom. It's a problem when the bathroom is occupied - you can't even tank water. There is no dedicated kitchen - the shared space is used as a kitchen and dining room instead.
Big, comfortable room. Big and clean bathroom. You don't have to clean dishes after using them - the host takes them upstairs and returns them cleaned. The building doesn't look inviting from the outside but inside you can find everything you'll need. The inside looks pretty modern.
