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 StatesAn incredible find! The house is beautiful inside and set in a stunning location—glacier on one side, the sea on the other. Perfect location for seeing the peninsula. Would be thrilled to stay there again.

United StatesIt does take a bit to find, but just keep driving on the road.
Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and supplies that would be annoying to buy for a trip, like olive oil and spices. There was a drip coffee pot and coffee as well. The views were great and the patio had a nice place to sit with morning coffee. Couches were cozy enough that I almost fell asleep on them. Guestbook also had great suggestions and hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. It was So Close to all the hiking too!

United StatesOut of all the houses we stayed in Iceland this was the most comfortable with best amenities! Really comfortable beds, huge closet and massive living space. The layout was so convenient because all the space was usable. Modern kitchen with new stove and all the pots, pans and items you may need. Great coffee selection - real coffee, no pods! Coffee for us is important. There was also tea, sugar, hot chocolate, oil, spices, many considerate items to help with cooking. Toaster, kettle, etc.

Not enough lighting fixtures in great room and no fixture in kitchen area made it difficult to cook and wash at night. Odd light fixtures in bedroom actually blocked light. kitchen can use additional glassware other amenities.

IsraelWe had the best stay! The house's location was private with an open floor plan and windows that looked out to the ocean on one side and the glacier on the other. Big common space and kitchen, which we used to make all meals. Kitchen has a new touch stove, which was easy to keep clean. Plenty of pots, pans and baking items. Coffee and tea in the house was also good. Nice touch to have drinks available and we find coffee important. It was great to have a smart TV- made everything feel modern even in the countryside. The house decor had style and it did not feel like an average hotel room. Lighting was also great, considering how dark it got we had plenty of options of what to turn on and off. Would definitely return to experience the area in another season!
