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 StatesWe booked a cabin with hot tub since we’d be arriving cold and wet. It was empty when we arrived and the staff member, though trying to be helpful, was not sure how to work it. We went out for dinner and it was partly full and warm when we got back, but not hot enough for it to be worth it. It was after 9:00 by now so we couldn’t reach any staff to find out how to make it hotter. (There are no written instructions in the house and it is not intuitive.) Two of our group went in but two did not. Unfortunate since this is why we chose it.
Nice location with trees outside all the windows. Well-appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds.

GermanyReview is for one of the bungalows/cottages: Size was right for us, if you travel with a lot of baggage, there is not much space to organize and store it conveniently. Kitchen is equipped quite well, basically everything we needed was there. Bed is comfy and big enough. Hot tubs were relaxing and are open all night. Good value overall. Let down was the shower, really old and crusty hardware, not very clean. Could definitely be updated to suit the rest of the cabin, which is modernized.

United KingdomNo real complaints, adding some shelves or drawers would be useful. It had a bunk set and extra bed. 2 of us so we used the top bunk to put our things on, but it might be difficult in there were 3 people with a lot of luggage. It was fine for 2 people with packs so long as you kept your stuff in your pack.
The cabin was very warm, quite basic but had everything you need for a few days. It had a hob and a microwave with good pressure shower. Nicely set amongst the trees. About a 15min walk to the supermarket and restaurants. Selfoss is a great location to explore the golden circle and south coast if you don't want to stay in Reykjavik. 1hr 20mins easy drive from the airport. Free parking on site.

FranceThe house is really tiny, you can hardly set clothes to dry if you come home soaked. The kitchenette is really (really) minimalist.
Lovely people at the reception desk. Perfect situation right in the middle of Selfoss. Surprisingly good beds. No cleaning needed upon arrival, no cleaning expected upon departure. Plenty of heating and hot water.

We have our own cabin with kitchen and toilet, and the management are willing to provide us with new towels everyday, this is so nice!
