Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThe building with the rooms with shared bathroom and kitchen is not so soundproof , e.g. a door to the kitchen would help.
Great location with a beautiful view and nice hosts. Room totally sufficient.

IcelandAlthough confirmed breakfast was available (extra 15 euro pp), it was not possible to have breakfast in the guesthouse. Shops are far away, so this was a little inconveniant.
It’s a beautiful very quiet guesthouse with sight on a lake. Facilities are fine.

United StatesThere was not a lot of space for our luggage and our movement. The accommodation was about 30 mins away from the nearest restaurant. The biggest issue I had was the set up of the rooms. Under one room they have 4 rooms and each of those rooms opens onto a larger room where they serve breakfast. That larger room was set up with tables and chairs. The guests in the other rooms sat themselves at the table outside of our room and held a card game. The volume of their conversation was distracting and kept up awake. Even if they had moved, the acoustics of the rooms allowed their voices to echo. Our room was also the first one when you walk through the door, so we heard every time the front door opened and closed, we also heard when other guests rested their hand upon the shared wall to take their shoes off (a strong request of the property host). On our side it sounded like they were knocking or thumping on the wall. Perhaps the other rooms were quieter, but ours was noisier than I prefer at night - which is why I arranged a room so far off the beaten track.
The room itself had a lot of light, even if it was small.

CanadaThe room is quite small, it was tough fitting a bed for our baby in the room, we had to move the furniture. When we checked in, we were not told how to check out so at around 8o clock, I went to the reception to check out. To my surprise, I woke the employee up when I rang the bell and she was quite surprised I was checking out in person. It was awkward and I felt bad waking her up. I wish they'd have told me I didn't need to bring back my key at reception for the check out when I checked in.
The location is wonderful. Great view from our room. The shared bathroom was very clean and well equipped. I love animals and there was a cat that was by our window most of the time. I would think that if you don't like cats, you could be annoyed by that as we couldn't really open our window since the cat would just come in our room.

United StatesWhen we got there, the host greeted us like “hi ladies, you are late, you should have told us, I’ve been waiting, next time you’re late in the future you should let them know.” In my reservation I requested a later arrival for 10pm. We also tried calling two times about the late arrival and it went to voicemail both times. The daughter was showing us around the place. She looked very young to be showing strangers around (might be a norm in Iceland)
I liked how there were two bathrooms, one with shower and toilet, one with just toilet. It was cozy, had kitchen (didn’t use), and room was perfect for the night.
