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.).

IsraelIt could have been excellent, but there are a major problem: The main big window is overlooking the parking place and the passway between the rooms and the waterfall. It is built so the bed is right behind the big window and everyone who passes by is looking at your bed and into your room. It actually means that the curtain must be shut down so that you cannot enjoy the view.
We stayed for two nights in this hotel. This place is actually in a nature attraction by itself. It has its own waterfall and a running river. Amazing. Breakfast wss excellent and we enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant they are running with a good food and reasonable price. All in all it is an awesome place to stay in. Don't miss it.

FranceLike everything in Iceland it was pricey.
You enter a wonderful world of tales and legends. The most stunning view over a waterfall, from our room window. We stayed in one of the little yellow houses, there is also mini trailers and RV camping sites, they hVe a hot tub, a mini golf and a huge space behind the hotel to go for a walk, there is a lake… The restaurant is not bad too. We loved this place.

Switzerlandnothing major, would just be minor things like short cord of kettle that made us put it on the floor, decorative pillows and quilt that needs replacing (or just get rid of it it’s old-fashioned).
simple yet effective; got all the basics covered well… comfortable bed for good nights sleep, warm shower, good breakfast, friendly staff, good dinner, parking right in front, location near the road to Reykholtsdal.

RomaniaThe hotel was missing some renovations, it had scratches and dents in the room and the bathroom. One of the beds in room 8 cracked every time you moved. There is also a big window that you can be seen trough by people passing by.
The facilties were ok and the breakfast quite good. There is also a restaurant/bar if needed. WiFi was good.

HungaryThere was no shampoo, but whatever :)
The breakfast place with the waterfall view is just amazing, and breakfast itself is also great. (Respect to the staff, they're working their asses off!) Although it's "just" a hotel room, we also had a fridge, a microwave and a small kettle with tea and coffee. We arrived late, but self check-in was super easy and smooth. Beds are comfy, the surroundings of the place are beautiful.

Canadait was perfect as a restful place after arriving at KEF and before the long drive up to Siglufjorder (spelling?), north of Akureyri. We have stayed there 2 or 3 times before. My website has a photo of me sitting in the pot of the hungry troll up on the hill.

HungaryCleaning staff left the window open so the room was very cold when we arrived back in the evening. Key pick-up should be automatic without additional communication, in case guests do not arrive until the end of check-in time.
Great location, super breakfast and we particularly liked the record collection and the story about the owner. They have hot tubs as well.
