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 KingdomOur booking was with shared bathroom and the toilets in our floor were occupied all the time and sometimes there were bits of hair in the shower, not very pleasant. We struggled with it and I would definitely recommend choosing a room that offers private bathroom.

MoroccoWe knew that it would be shared bathrooms but not one shower on the floor for 9 rooms and 18 + people. You could go downstairs for more showers but there were always line ups. The shower was dirty and the rooms were tiny. No toilet paper. For the price you pay we expected more.

United StatesWalls are thin. I could hear the person in the next room snoring, and it was loud enough to actually wake me! Mercifully it stopped after a little bit, not sure why. But it was quite audible. Basement rooms are below the dining room and kitchen so you are likely to hear furniture being moved as people sit for breakfast from 7 am onwards. If you wake up late, not a great idea to take a basement room.
The property is actually a little outside Selfoss (about 10 mins to the west). It is quite a large guest house with three floors and several rooms. We had a room in the basement level, which was quite comfortable and had some extra space (like a foyer) and a sink. Bathrooms and toilets were shared but clean and well organized. The guesthouse staff is very welcoming and had an eye for detail to ensure the comfort of guests. The lower floor also has a lounge area with seating and a large TV, coffee and tea, a microwave. No fridge though. And no kitchen amenities. Breakfast was perhaps the most sumptuous I have encountered on the trip, of the continental style. Eggs, meats, breads, cereals … note the plural! All well arranged and organized. Room was warm and cozy. Great view from the windows of the dining room and the room!

BelgiumWe were checking out very early so we had to arrange payment the night before for which seemed a little challenging for the administration. The owner was very friendly and doing her best but there was a clear lack of staff at hand when you needed them (although I made my request to pay at a reasonable hour I had to come back an hour later because the owner was 'in the shower.'
Breakfast was good - and very welcome considering the location! The rooms were basic but functional.

ItalyPrivate bathrooms in the rooms should be renewed, the rooms are in the lower floor of the house and it seems to be in a basement when you enter the bathrooms, not decorated, not kept well as the rooms. Also you’re asked to take off your shoes at the front door, but then people keep moving them and dirtying them placing others’ shoes on top of yours.
Nice views, the guesthouse is on top of a hill and the surroundings are wonderful. Very good breakfast.
