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.).

It's a warm, welcoming and very clean place. The room was very cozy and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and with a lot of options. I really recommend this place.

United KingdomReally friendly staff, large clean rooms and good breakfast. We had seen some older reviews that were not positive, but I think there has been a change of management as none of the concerns raised in those reviews were apparent.

United KingdomThe beds were so comfy after a long roadtrip. Complimentary hot drinks and microwave available. We spotted the northern lights and the owners turned off the lights outside so that we could see them better. Breakfast was great and lots of choice. When we come back we'd love to stay here again.

The guesthouse is located outside the city, which allows to see the northern lights! The staff was very kind and generous. They gave us advice on our routes and even informed us when the sky was clear for the northern lights.

United KingdomThe room size was much smaller than expected - basically there was a double bed, under the eaves, and a small table and chair with very little space to move around and low headroom for this taller couple. There was, however, common space outside the room.
The staff were lovely and welcoming; the breakfast was amazing - lots of variety - and the location was perfect for our trip. The kitchen was also useful, We knew that there were shared showers and toilets and were a little concerned that this might mean queuing for showers in the morning, but this wasn't the case even though the B&B was full. Everything was very clean.

United KingdomLovely homely feel to this guesthouse, it had a large variety of teas in the little kitchen to help yourself too and breakfast was a wide selection that we very much enjoyed. In the evening the Northern lights were visible and the owner turned off all the lights in the carpark so we could see them better.

United StatesThe hosts were absolutely amazing. So helpful and so friendly. We got a knock on the door when the Northern Lights were spotted, tour of the property when we arrived, help with our suitcases from and to the car, and so much helpful information about the area. The room was quite spacious. Everything was clean. The breakfast had so many good options. The property was easy to get to and once the hosts turned off the outdoor lights, we had perfect darkness for viewing the Northern Lights. We would definitely stay here again!
